Becoming Mom

I am a mom. I have a baby boy – 7 months old.  

Well, this was not how i intended to start my blog.  I wanted to write about a lot of other things. But i guess the baby always comes first.

7 months have zoomed by. Life has changed so much. There is always something to do. From washing baby clothes, folding onesies, changing diapers to making baby food, nursing, spending sleepless nights. This is a full time job, most often i work overtime. But i get paid with the most beautiful toothless grins and a soul that thinks the world of me.

Parenting advice- there is always so much that people have to offer. But i have learnt that no theory holds good when it comes to babies. Sid has his own way for certain things and i have to discover ways to handle him. A baby at six months old is supposed to sleep through the night. I would have loved it if it were to happen. I still wake up every 2 hrs in the night. But i am not complaining. All the weariness in the morning vanishes when he gives me his best smile and says “amma”. The baby that cries otherwise is happy the minute he sees me.

Well, i love being mom- i love being his mom. i know there will be a time when he will be on his own and wont need me as much – so i relish every moment I have with him now and secretly wish that these moments last forever. Dont grow up baby…be the sweet little momma’s boy in my arms forever!
