 A: Mãe, porquê que você nunca me falou o quanto exaustivo é ter bebê em casa?
Mom, why didn’t you ever tell me how exhausting it is to have a baby in the house?
  B: Isso passa filha, com os anos a gente nem se lembra mais.
This will pass daughter, as the years go on we don’t even remember it.
  A: A Aina precisa mamar a cada três horas!
Aina needs to nurse every three hours!
  B: Olha, aquelas horas aconchegadas com a criança assim, são preciosas.
You know, those hours snuggled up to a baby are precious.
  A: Eu sei, mas eu estou exausta, eu não aguento mais.
I know I’m just exhausted, I can’t take it anymore.
  B: Prometo filha, algum dia você vai sentir falta desses momentos.
I promise you child, some day you will miss those moments.
