The Beginning is Always Difficult!
Motherhood....
a strange world for those who've not experienced it yet... and even more
strange for those who have. Yes! I am talking about all those who have become
new mums and I am one of those lucky ones. Even with all the tons of advice
that you're literally drenched with, throughout the nine months of the
pregnancy period, it really does not prepare you for what you actually go
through when the baby comes.
A 24/7,
full time job! And you think you can juggle it all? Don't fantasize about being
a super-woman, 'cuz really, you are not. And this is not a joke. I mean with
most of us having C-Sections, I honestly would just want to lie down, be lazy
and think about "ME". But does that happen? Of course not! Why so?
Because everyone is so excited about the new baby that mostly they tend to
forget about whose actually carried and brought that little angel (that's
because I have a daughter) of yours, into this world. Teeny weeny bit
jealous, aren't we? I am being honest, truly!
By the
way, this is still the hospital phase. I haven't even managed to get home yet.
Please don't be hasty to assume that I am suffering from Postpartum Depression.
Definitely nothing as serious as that. But hey! Shouldn't everyone be giving me
some importance too? I mean come on, I've delivered a baby for god's sake, and
shouldn’t I receive some sort of appreciation for that. But its not meant to work
that way. The sooner you realize that, the quicker you will come to terms with
this new phase in your life.
And that's
when I realized that the battle for me had begun. Not for ATTENTION! Or maybe a
little bit of that too. It was all about my baby. I've solely been responsible
for bringing her in my life (with the help of the gynecologist... and
the pediatrician and the rest of the medical team) and that left me
with no room to crib or complain. A sudden revelation.... I AM A MUM! And it is
for real... a lifetime commitment.

However
much I claim, I wasn't prepared for this change. It's hard, it's difficult and
you cannot undo anything that you'd want to change. But... there is this voice
in my heart that says... I am not going to fail!
And the
heart never lies.
good job babe! looking forward to reading more :)
