My little precious girl is all of 6 weeks now. And every single day, there are so many things that both exasperate as well as thrill. This blog is to share my journey of motherhood and all the surprises, smiles and sleeplessness that it gets.
Till not so long back, my husband and I were a carefree couple. Both of us working; spending our weekdays at work. Weekends with friends (sometimes till wee hours of the morning). Holidays with family or travelling. Now, looking back at our past vacations, it feels like we never realised how carefree our lives were, till now.
Now, things have changed. And I say that not with any tinge of regret. But with an increased sense of realization at the changes a new life brings to the parents. It’s as much of the beginning of a new life for the parents as it is to the baby. And sometimes you just have to be there, experience it and live it, to truely appreciate it!
With parenthood also come innumerable choices. The zigzag world of choices begins even before the baby arrives; deciding between so many competing baby products is a mammoth task. But even more choices come after the baby arrives. There are times when it’s difficult for me to decide some things for myself. But deciding for this little precious life, is that much more intense.
As my husband and I prepare and navigate this road of parenthood, we hope we’re making the choices that are best for Suhaana, while keeping our sanity, and maintaining a semblance of normalcy in our lives. I am a big believer of balance in life; and I feel in order to give the best to my daughter my physical as well as mental health is just as important. But maintaining balance takes experience and time and bucket loads of patience for trial-and-error. It’s an exploration of my little girl Suhaana as well as the new mom in me!
