One of the nicest, yet most difficult word to say is "Thank You" I know its not thanksgiving yet, but I want to take a moment to thank my husband, Prateek for all the love and support that he has offered in the last 7 months. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have even started this blog. I remember the night of 27th January ( yeah !!! the night before Anvesha was born ) that he suggested I start a blog to share my experiences as a new mom. I had always loved to pen down my thoughts on paper, something that I used to do when in college. I somehow almost forgot about it over the years. After much persuasion I at least started the template. We had almost finalized on the name so naming the blog was somehow easy. For those who know me well would know its such a big deal for a lazy person like me to start something new ;)
The kind of mom I wanted to be was a lot like June Cleaver from Leave it to Beaver whose house was always neat, laundry done on time, still having time for a a girl's night out and a perfectly done hair and makeup. But my house is more like Debra's from Everybody loves Raymond :) Domestic duties have doubled. Of course, before the baby there were still dishes & laundry and other loathsome household chores, but there were never so many things that had to be done so quickly. I know I haven't been able to make exotic meals ( at least I would call them so :P) ), but he has been absolutely non fussy about the mess in the house these days and helps around a lot when at home. From taking care of me during the initial days post delivery to staying awake with me at 2 in the morning when Anvesha was colicky, or running errands for me and babysitting Anvesha when I had to go attend my SGI meetings, or for that matter even promoting this blog, he has been a true support system when I needed it most.
Taking care of a baby is a physically & mentally exhausting job.My experience as a mom might be relatively new but I know what Iam doing. I might not be a perfect mother and I may have made mistakes in the past, but their onus rests on me; plus, don't we learn from our mistakes? All said and done, Iam confident about my parenting style, something that I wasn't few months back. Thanks Prateek, for making me realize what Iam worth doing !!
"Baby makes three" is exciting, exhilarating & wonderful. It is also exhausting, exasperating & worrisome. Having a partner support can make life so much simpler and at the same time helps preserve your sanity :)
Thanks for being there !!!!
