"Making the
decision to have a child - it's momentous. It is to decide forever to have your
heart go walking around outside your body." - Elizabeth Stone
So true. Isn’t it?
On internet, when I search for the meaning of Motherhood, I
get this…
“The kinship relation between an offspring and the mother.”
Motherhood in itself is such a huge term that defining it is
almost next to impossible. You all might be wondering why am I giving this
“Gyaaan” now…. It’s nothing of that sort. I became a mother and entered
motherhood few months back. The journey has been an incredible one. So I just
thought of sharing it with you all.
There have been times where I have felt if it was a correct
decision to have a baby this early in my life. There have been times when I am
completely drained out of my energy through the day taking care of my baby,
household chores. But at the end of all, when I see my baby’s face, hear his
giggles, feel his touch, I feel it has all paid off. J I just forget everything. My
world suddenly becomes so colorful and meaningful and all smiles around.
I just want to have the best of everything for him. We
generally become very doubtful with everything that we get in the market. We
have hundreds of question before we buy anything for our baby. To start with,
baby food is something that we all mothers are worried about as to what is good
and what is not. We always want to give the best to our baby. So why trust
something unknown when we can make it at our home with at most cleanliness and
care. And trust me, you will enjoy preparing this manni since it is for the
most special person in your life J.
Happy parenting!!!
