Shaya turned One!

Dear Shaya Baby,

          We were very happy when I was blessed with you in my womb. Since then, I felt a lot more responsible and started taking good care of myself which I never did before. I didn’t feel lonely anymore as you kept me company 24x7! Though u were inside me, I used to  miss you and then, I used to rub my palm on my stomach, where u resided peacefully, with so much affection and love that I didn’t know I was ever capable of feeling. I used to keep my hands upon your residence, whenever I was in a crowded place, as if I was protecting you from any harm though u used to be fast asleep, safe and sound. I used to wish you good morning, the first thing I do when I wake up and bid u good night, the last thing I do before I hit my pillows. Well, I never forgot to have a small chit-chat with you before going to sleep.

The first trimester was a little difficult when you were growing slowly and my second trimester was the best since I started feeling your movements. You used to kick now & then and made me to stop whatever I was doing as such and I used to enjoy your movements, with my palm over you. Your dad used to wait patiently to feel your movements and at last, one day u kicked his palm. You should have seen his face. He had a million dollar smile plastered all over his face. In the last trimester, you started becoming very naughty, kicking, punching and rolling from one side to another & vice versa, all the time. You, being very smart, used to respond to my voice by kicking and rolling on later stages. At that time, I realized how amazing the bond between u and me was.

 In the last few days, I started feeling heavy and balancing you in me became a challenging task. I knew that my womb was the only safest place on this earth. Despite all these, I used to have a big smile on my face and I couldn’t wait to hold you and cherish you.

Finally, our biggest and longest dream of 10 months was about to come true. Yes… the most awaited day came. I got admitted to the hospital. Though I was frightened, my love for you made me feel all the way more excited and thrilled. Yes! In few hours, I will be holding you in my arms. I went into the labor room and after a few hours of struggle, you came out of me and entered into this beautiful world. Your first cry made me feel like I was in heaven. Only a few moments passed by but it felt like eternity, as I waiting impatiently to see you. At last, the doctor showed you. You were wrapped tight in a blanket and you looked at me with those innocent dove like eyes. That moment was the best moment of my life and words would not be even sufficient to express how in bliss I was. That moment has been itched in my memory and it will stay as fresh as it were forever. Though I was in bliss, I felt a little sad that I will have to share you now to others and you are no longer completely mine. Hey! You cannot blame me. I enjoyed having u inside me like I never did before. Only God knows how much!

It was like yesterday that you were born. But it’s already been a year! And I enjoyed every single moment I had spent with you. We are eagerly waiting to see you go through your upcoming phases of life. And baby, you are not alone in this. We promise you that we will stay supporting, loving and caring you in every possible way. So be brave, confident and good hearted. We wish you all healthiness, happiness and success in your beautiful life.

I have fallen irrevocably in love with you and it is immeasurably profound!!!

Happieee happieee first birthday Shaya Baby!

                                                         

                                               With all of my heart,

Parenting My Bundle of Joy!

I have a 11 month old baby girl. She is the love of my life. She is such an awesome child and one lifetime is not likely enough to spend with her. She shows her improvement in growth daily and those are the stepping stones to success.

Every tiny little thing she does makes me smile, let alone her crying for no reason. She always have a small smile playing in her lips, that melts my heart. Yesterday, she took 3 steps on her own and 6 steps today. Yes.. Such a big improvement! This is one of the best moments of my life, though I was on my toes to save her if she falls on ground. Well basically, after 14th of April 2018, the day when I was blessed with my baby doll, almost all my best moments of life are because of her. 

She plays with my kitchen utensils making sounds that I have never heard before. She makes me to keenly observe every little sound. She points any litter on ground, even if it is infinitely small, making me to keep my home cleaner in the fear that she might pop them into her mouth. She pushes me to the extreme when she doesn't open her mouth to eat, thus making me more patient. She cries for sleep when I pour first cup of warm water on her while bathing and making me to bath her in rocket speed, only God knows how fast that is, urging me to do all things faster but still meticulously doing things, as I cannot drop her. She cries when she gets bored, making me to quickly think of something to engage her all day, thus making me to think sharper and wiser. She slips and falls down whenever I sit for eating, making me to wash my hands at least a dozen time and thus making me control my hunger which I couldn't before her birth. And sleep! I was such a sound sleeper, sleeping 8-9 hours a day and now... tada… I sleep only 5-6 hours a day but still am energetic just like a running horse throughout. I used to sleep even if a train passes near my head but now I wake up even if I hear a pin falling on ground. She made my ears very sensitive. And many more to go.

Parenting is not easy. Its challenging second by second and my baby doll helped me right from the very beginning to face them. She made me a whole lot different person but yes, very much better.

All this cannot be taught by anyone but her!

My adorable cute little bundle of joy, 'Shaya Sai', meaning Gift of God. She makes justice to that name.

Love you so much baby that my heart aches!

Loads of love from ur mumma :)

Nissha.
