Yes the life has Changed!
They say it's a second birth of a mother when she gives birth to a child. And then- her-life-changes. Yes it change drastically but God has made women such a flexible one to get adjusted with whatever comes her way.
My son is 7 yrs old and my Angel is 10 moths old now. And this is how my life has changed...
1. The moment I get up, my mind has a list of work ready. I work like a robot accepting orders, finishing one work after other.
2. 8 out 10 time, I drink hot tea which by the time I sip is gone COLD.
3. My phone is always on silent. I hate to disturb her sleep. I wish I could have put the doorbell on silent too. Lol
4. I prefered to wear lose and comfortable cloths to carry her well and able to feed her whenever required. Shape and size who cares now.
5. Making a messy Bun or just open hair are my favorite hairstyles now.
6. The moment she sleeps, I have my work already set to go. Let that be cooking, cleaning, laundry or some quality time with my son. It's a feel gud factor if I accomplished it all.
7. Sunday - to - do - list is always ready. stick with the magnet on the fridge. Which only completes partially because I forget minimum 2 things :( bhullakad mommy.
8. During midnight, even if she cries for a millisecond I am all up. Checking her need and comfort.
9. I forget birthdays and anniversaries of my near ones. Forget it, sometimes I forget the day and date too. :-) ya because Each day is same for me.
10. Everytime I get a call the next moment either of my kids is hungry or needs my attention. I call my mother only after 11.30 pm. I love this peaceful, warm n cozy conversation. She is still my best friend.
11. When we r going out I always have the baby bag ready with all the required stuff. I need to plan her feeds and go accordingly.
12. Like earlier, I can't just drive and go out because my kids are totally dependent on me.
11. Sometimes I don't get time for reading, writting but yes singing is something accompanies me always.
12. The sadest things is, I haven't visited "my house" for past 2 years while here, I am busy taking care of "my house" :-)
There are many more changes, which life has brought to us. Some soothing, some irritating and some fortunate ones. There are days when we feel low, we are too stressed, too lonely, too tired yet kids gets us going. We have to get up, show up and smile because we mean the world to them. We are fortunate they have chose us to be their mothers.
So what the life has changed now..so what I have to work and do things as per my kids. This is a much required change. Our kids complete us as a woman. When we were kids we too had change our parents life. This way we get to experience their sacrifices, sleepless nights they had, tiring schedules, difficulties raising us and making us what we are today. Isn't it ?
Like all you mothers, Every day I too am learning and understanding to be a good mother. And enjoying parenthood. Vishal, You are a big help, you are a darling husband and an awesome father.
And at the end of the day, my blissful moment comes when I see kids sleeping peacefully with their sweetest of dreams. I cuddle them, kiss them and feel fortunate to have them in my life. My all tiredness suddenly lessen up looking at the innocent faces.
Yes, the life has changed, but it's a happy change. And I am happy to have this change.
Happy parenting!!
Stay blessed u all mommies!!
Much love,
- Snehal!
