The First Year

This is the story of the first year of my daughter's life. Well, really, it is the story of the first year of my new life, the one where I became a "mom." As early as four days after my baby was born, I could sense that I was completely changed. The old me was gone and a new person had been born. The only thing was that it didn't feel exciting. I was so happy to have finally met my daughter, but it felt like my old self had been usurped from me. I became desperate. I wanted me back. At the time, deep in panic mode, all I hoped for was to find her again. This is the story of my journey to find her, and - spoiler alert - meeting Bita Version 2.0 instead.
