For all those who are not parents yet, here are a few things you should know -
1) Its the toughest job in the world
2) You learn to appreciate your parents more once you get this job
3) When you just start getting tired, irritated or frustrated. Your baby looks at you and gives you the cutest smile. Which makes you forget why you were irritated or frustrated.
Its been quite a while since my last post. And well the reason is that my hubby and I have been blessed with a beautiful baby girl. I found out on my birthday about my pregnancy. It was quite a big surprise!! But we both were really excited and happy. It meant that we would face a lot more separation, since I could not sail during my pregnancy. But then he was with me 24X7 from the 2nd trimester, till she arrived and when she turned a month old. You never know what kind of a dad your husband will be. From the first time I met my hubby I had a feeling he will be a very loving and protective father. And I was right. From staying up all night with the little one, changing diapers, and even giving the new born a bath (doing this was even scary for me!!). He has done it all. And it looked like he was taking care of two babies, cause he was taking care of me too. I think the last time I was taken care of like this was by my parents, when I was a little girl. Now he is away again but our little baby keeps me on my toes.
love this amrita!! I can't say that I understand the feeling a parent has when he/she sees the kid smile :) but I'm looking forward to that and you are going to be my mentor whenever that happens in the future....
ReplyDeleteLove you. Loads of hugs and kisses for the little one :)
Such a beautiful post :)
ReplyDeleteWhat you say is 100% true. Sometimes when I get a little stressed out at work, I think of Surya sitting all by himself with a board book in his hand, trying to point out stuff - that thought makes me smile and I actually feel all the stress melting out of me. :) Motherhood is the most rewarding job in the world!!
