Brooke Burke: “I am still alive!”

Although she was a frequent blogger during her fourth pregnancy, since the birth of son Shaya Braven three months ago, it seemed as though actress Brooke Burke disappeared! Not so, she writes. Between adjusting to a new baby, parenting her three daughters, and moving into her and fiancé David Charvet’s newly constructed home, Brooke explained that she "just surfaced" in June, saying that other new moms "know where I’m coming from" and to "hang in there!"

Shaya’s naps are getting longer, and my nighttime sleep intervals have gone from two hours to four, thank God!  The other day I Googled sleep deprivation and I had no idea how responsible my sleepless nights were for everything I had been feeling.  It effects your memory, metabolism, and of course patience for everyone in your family.

Discussing her recent speech at a Pregnancy Awareness Month event, Brooke, 36, shared that she "had to laugh" when they asked her to chat about the work/home balance, saying she had "a hard time giving advice" — her best tip is that "everything is curable with love."

Balancing motherhood and a career is my most challenging thing!  I have realized in my experience that there is no right or wrong way to rear your children. I have learned a lot from other moms, but I focus most on figuring out what works best for my family.  I tried to encourage moms to do the best they can and give themselves a break on the days when it doesn’t seem good enough.

Brooke also broached a topic well-known to every mother — guilt. Revealing that she is "a different mom the fourth time around," the model, who also has daughters Neriah, 8, Sierra Sky, 6, and Heaven Rain, 18 months, shared that there’s a lot less of her time and attention to go around, "after you do the math."

I am also starting to go back towork and there is always the guilt when I have to spend all day awayfrom my babies. Somehow, it all works out, even though there is noperfect way.
