Posted by RITA DAKOTA (@ritadakota) Oct 25, 2017 at 6:02 PDT
Rita Dakota's pregnancy first became known at the end of May. Then the couple gave frank interview journalists, in which they talked about the upcoming addition to the family. According to the artists, the child was conceived during their trip to Bali. As it turned out, Rita had long dreamed of becoming a mother. At the same time, the singer and musician noted that she did not like the phrase “planned child.”
After Dakota decided to talk about her future baby, she began keeping a diary on Instagram, in which she talked about her preparations for important event. The performer not only shared her emotions and consulted with subscribers, but also noted each time what week of pregnancy she was in.
Some time before the addition to the family, Rita said that her loved ones were constantly calling with questions about the baby’s arrival. Dakota appealed to the public to leave them alone and stated that she herself would tell about the birth of her first child. The artist tries to be as open as possible with her audience. By the way, a few weeks before the long-awaited event, the singer did not limit her activities and continued to do her usual things: “I just started my 40th week, and I didn’t give birth. And she didn’t even go to the maternity hospital. On the contrary, yesterday we wrote songs and went shopping, today we went to the cinema, tomorrow at 15:00 we went to the beautician. Thank you for your experiences, for your compassion, for your care. But don’t get ahead of the curve and don’t put pressure on a pregnant woman. I promise that as soon as this happens, you will be the first to know about it, we have always been as open as possible with our audience, we were not ashamed and did not hide personal life... Our happiness loves sincerity, openness and honesty, inspiring other people to do their own.”
Spouses Rita Dakota and Vlad Sokolovsky exclusively told the site how their lives changed with the birth of Mia.

Musicians became parents. The baby, whom the happy parents named Mia, completely changed their lives. And, as the artists themselves admit, in better side. Rita and Vlad exclusively told the site how their life was going in their new status and introduced their baby to the public. Meet Mia! In this photo the girl is only two weeks old.
The artists did not lie: they, like all parents, experience difficulties, but for them all the troubles are pleasant moments that they will remember with a smile.
Rita: We try to somehow treat lack of sleep and some difficulties with humor. And we understand that this fate - colic, teeth and everything else - awaits everyone.
Celebrity parents say that they are creating new difficulties for themselves. For example, they flew to Bali for several months with their newborn child. And now they have become real professionals in the field of “family holidays”. In their YouTube vlogs, the couple by example prove that even after becoming parents, you can remain mobile and productive.
Vlad: I can immediately say that traveling with a baby is not very convenient. When you fly with a two or three month old baby, you take with you food, diapers, a stroller, all sorts of sun loungers, toys... A huge number of things! We took the minimum for ourselves and the maximum for her.
We flew away with a child who is two and a half months old, and will return when she is four and a half. That's three different sizes clothes! Mia has a lot more stuff than we do
Since Vlad and Rita, not only their lifestyle has changed, but also their internal perception of the world. They have become more reverent, sensitive and responsible.
Vlad: You worry constantly... Sometimes stupid thoughts creep into your head. Here you are holding a child in your arms, everything is fine, your feet are on the ground and everything is fine, but some thought appears in your head: “What if you’re about to slip.” And then you start to beat yourself up, even though everything is fine.
Rita: Increased vigilance mode is activated. Even on such rare evenings when Vlad and I can go somewhere in the evening to hang out, like on the island of Bali (you can see it in one of our vlogs). Once we were at a Leningrad concert and drank wine. Everyone was drunk, but we were not. We drank several glasses, but we didn’t have any in either eye, because the vigilance mode turned on.
Despite their immense love for their child, Rita and Vlad continue to engage in their projects, household chores and creativity. In part, Mia helped her parents learn how to properly plan their day.
Rita: We have become more organized in terms of time management. Previously, we could spread out all our work for the whole day, come home between tasks to eat or do something else. Now we are trying to draw up a schedule for the day so that we can get everything done in the first half of the day. maximum amount affairs, and spend the second with the child completely. But, of course, grandmothers save. God bless them.
Now the artists have already gained experience and can share it with other young parents. Vlad, for example, now knows everything about strollers. However, this was not always the case. Some moments really surprised the couple as they prepared for their new status.
Rita: There are some little things that you never think about. For me, for example, it was a great discovery that a newborn baby does not need a pillow. It seemed to me that I needed something softer and more comfortable, but it turned out that the pillow for a newborn is dangerous.
Or, for example, the most difficult moment for us in everyday child care is cutting nails. In the family, we use rock-paper-scissors to decide who will do it, because everyone is afraid of taking some wrong step.
Rita and Vlad can undoubtedly be called parents of the year. A warm atmosphere reigns in their family, and they share this warmth with fans in their vlogs on the YouTube channel “Sokolovsky & Dakota” and on Instagram every day. They are honest about what is really going on in their lives. Like all people, sometimes they break down. A tearful Rita picks up a camera and talks about failures... But this, as the artists themselves say, is real life, without embellishment.
Rita: We are learning to re-adapt to our freedom, because it looks a little different now. But it's actually cool! This is growth, definitely. We have become better, we have become stronger. This is a very cool stage, and we are grateful to the Universe for it.
