This is a very special write up. Not because it marks the century but more so because it is about my life's greatest pleasure and treasure. Sandy had asked me to write about it long time back but I did not know how to put it in words...
Being a mother is an experience every women is indeed incomplete without. It is the best good news you share with the ones you love. I am experiencing the existence of a life in me for the past eight months and am more than excited awaiting the little one's arrival. There's a lot of anxiety and fear too regarding the way I will have to handle this delicately new and precious responsibility.
Of course there are many changes and hassles that come all the way till the end but with the experiences that I have had, I can assure you that everything will be a smooth sail if and only if you are totally prepared it and this is something you really want. That's the only thing that will help you not only to accept the changes but also be happy about the little differences you find out each day you wake up.
First up, you are in for surprises everyday, be it your moods, eating habits, body or psychology. Your moods are not in your control anymore, you may laugh or cry, fight and quarrel over anything at all, irrespective of whether it makes sense or not or whether it is important or not. Next you have unwanted advice coming from everywhere and you don't really know what to take and what to leave. Then you start having expectations form people around you, mostly from your spouse and even the smallest of mistakes could make you feel awfully upset. There are things you really crave to do and things that you hate to. Despite these, there are many more you will learn and explore as each day, week and month progresses.
The experiences differ from person to person no doubt, but the only thing that is similar is the feeling of being able to bring a life, a being into existence. The anticipation of holding and caressing your little one, of seeing your spouse express his love to it, of seeing that little one grow in front of you, do little nativities that take your parents through your childhood again are all free gifts you get for going through the 9 month ordeal. This gain is worth more than every pain you take.
I have other would be mums around me who I discuss and share my experiences with. You may or may not have that privilege but confide in your mum and she would be a great help and guide throughout. To those who are sailing the same boat as I am, I only wish for you to have the times of your life, enjoy every bit of it, get pampered, love the attention and care and fulfill all that you promise your little one after his or her arrival.
Cheers!
God bless!!
