End to Endless phone conversation

I used to have phone conversation for hours with my family, relatives and friends . Even after getting complaints from my husband, I never changed this habit of mine. I hardly miss calls to my mobile. Even if I miss a call, I used to return back the calls immediately.
But now......I hear my voice message only after a week...i get back to them after two weeks.....am I complaining about this....Definitely NO....
Good part is, my parents, relatives and friends do understand me.....so no problem......

Cute scene

Yesterday, I saw my hubby playing with our 4 months old son on the bed...it was a very cute scene....I could see the love and proud of a father in my hubby's eye.....

Corporate Mom's

When corporate woman plans to extend her family, the first question she will ask is 'Do I have to quit job or do I have take off for longer time'....If she decides to work, once the kid is born, she will again start wondering 'how in the world will I be able to be stay away from the kid for 8 hours or how will I be able to spend more quality time'.....

Now I am in same boat as other new corporate moms....

From Sep 1999-Jun 2009, had someone asked me whether I will be fulltime home maker, my answer could have been 'NO'. It doesn't mean that I am hard working or something....it simply means, I don’t know what to do at home. I get bored easily. And I love interacting with people.....And job provides me that opportunity. Another angle to it is, empty mind is devils workshops and my hubby is not master in handling devils....

But now the situation is different....does it mean, I am going to quit going to work....Only time will answer this....

Mom Vs Wife

When I became pregnant, one thought that occurred to me was, I should not let role of mother over shadow the role of wife. But in the end, course of nature won... Mother in me took upper hand.

Change in Priorities

Before my son was born, I was at highest priority for my hubby and parents. Now my parents openly agree that their grandson is their highest priority. I am pushed to second position.
My husband doesn't want to get into trouble by saying that his son is now his top priority. But I know for sure that even for him, his son is first priority....
Coming to my priorities now....I am not stupid enough to put that in black and white....My hubby does read by blogs.

Sleepless in Singapore

This has no romance as in 'Sleepless in Seattle'. It is purely sleepless...Zero romance.Me and my hubby totally forgot what is like sleeping continuously for 8 hours.

Before my son was born, I used to hate when someone wakes me up from sleep. I become very short tempered if I don't sleep for 8 hours. After he was born, it just took him one day to teach me, how to be happy even with 2 hours of sleep. Only he has succeeded in waking me up from my sleep and still not make me angry. I don't want to lie, initially I got annoyed and irritated with everyone due to lack of sleep. But now got used to sleepless night or can say others have got used to my bad moods.

Now he sleeps for long hours in the night, and our sleep routine is getting back to normal...

The Day I felt Motherhood

Everyone, every book and all modes of communication conveyed one thing...Being a mother is the best thing that can happen to a woman. I never doubted it. But never really fully agreed to it. I was always happy to be 'Me'. I thought being myself was very satisfactory and fulfilling. My son even before he was born, made me realise that I was wrong and everybody else were right....

When doctor confirmed that I was pregnant, I was very happy. But immediately so many thoughts came to my mind. Will I get quality time with my hubby, will I be able to go for candle light dinner often, how am I going to put in 100% consulting hour in my job, will I be able to go for shopping when ever I wish and so many other silly things...In between these thoughts, I also thought how can being a mother be the best thing that can happen to a woman....I am going to miss so many things in my life..I will not be able to do all the things that I used to do...even with these thoughts, there was true happiness....

My pregnancy was progressing well....I was being pampered by my hubby and parents...Known persons and unknown persons were giving me 100% attention..I enjoyed all this pampering and attentions....But I never truely understood how it was going to be a Mom....Like a gurl in dreamland, I was enjoying the moment....

All of sudden, I developed complication in my pregnancy....I got admitted in hospital.. and was waiting for the doctor to tell his findings...That was moment I felt what it is to be a Mother. All my silly thoughts disappeared. I was in a state that I could have done anything to hear doctor say 'My baby is doing fine'. My husband was trying to calm me down...he was trying to tell me not to worry and everything will be fine. His words didn't reach me, nothing else was visible to me. My eyes were just searching for the doctor and all I wanted was to hear him say that my baby was safe. When I heard doctor saying those words, I was happy.That happiness was not like anything I felt all these year.I have never been so Happy in my life. Now I can bet on my life that nothing else could have made so happy or will make me happy as those words...That day I realised what Motherhood is all about...

Now I have joined the club of Mothers.

I fully agree with everyone that being a Mother is the best thing that can happen to a woman....
