“Mum-ma, you are AWESOME”, says my
6-yr old daughter, and the moment she says this, my heart skips a beat!
There are umpteen things which
come free with Motherhood, some of them being:
NauseaMorning Sickness
Mood Swings
Labour pain
Feeding troubles
Weight gain/loss
Hair gain/loss
Grey hairs
Insomnia
Backache
Less of ‘Me’ time
Cooking up Stories @12am
Guilt trips
And the list is endless....
However, when that little angel
hugs you and says the magical word Mum-ma, all the troubles, tensions, and
pain vanishes in a moment! I started this journey precisely in July’2006, when
I discovered that there is a little life inside me. And the nine-month ride with
my baby, seemed joyful, yet tiring at times.
Samu, joined us in the Journey of
Life on 11th April, 2007. My life changed completely, there was
someone, who needed me all the time! It is a wonderful feeling to be a Mom,
however, the post-partum depression, the sleepless nights, the breast-feeding sessions,
the susu-potty sessions, the decision of getting back to work, the weight gain
all these drain you completely.This reminds me of a quote, which is very close to my heart,
“Making the decision to have a child - it is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body. ” ― Elizabeth Stone
And
now my heart will turn 6 next week. This blog is an attempt to re-live those
special moments spent with Samu, and to record, the small things that she has
taught me and continues to teach me!
Join
me, in this roller-coaster ride of Motherhood!

AM (Awesome Mumma)
Motherhood is the most educative phase of life. You are learning and re-learning everyday and it lasts for a life-time. A mother feels special when a dot is growing inside her, a part of her , sharing the joys and pains yet the dot is oblivious of everything around. When the little one arrives , crying to herald his/her entry into the world, the mum sheds tears, tears of joy.
ReplyDeleteAwwwww...could so relate to this, yes the feeling lasts for the life-time and no matter how old our children become, for us they are still the tiny dot!!!!
