No amount of time can prepare a naive mother for all that emotional chaos. It's beautiful. Baby G arrived on an early August morning after a long 36 hour labor and to me a ten month and 36 hour wait. Every single day I made that pointless activity of counting the number of days left. Pointless because I already knew it.
No one tells you the beautiful things one misses after the birth of a baby. I for one missed the kicks. So very much. Every kick was a reminder saying that I wasn't alone. I ain't alone now, I know. But the kicks sure are a lot missed.
Baby G is 18 months now. Or, I'd like to call it the time when new mummies get a little time cause babies have learnt to sleep through the night. When pregnant, I wrote a baby journal for G. Little things I wanted to tell him and share with him during my pregnancy. I had given him a neutral name Tejas, cause I didn't know what baby I was going to have.
Roller coaster of a one and half year it has been. The adrenaline hasn't yet worn off. Loving the kick. The first one year passed with trying to capture every single moment of Baby Gs life and not missing his milestones. Every little word videotaped uploaded and shared on YouTube. Every single smile captured and shared on whatsapp. Every milestone saved and journaled. All this from the girl who never completed her record books, class notes or exams. Kudos me!
Being Mommy G is my new thing in life and I cannot wait to share the experiences of the new parent in me. Welcome to reading my world - Being Mommy G.
