I didnt know.....
- How I couldnt care less about my looks, I am sure all mothers would agree that they look like a glorified maid half the time (In my case, almost at all times)
- How it feels guilty to think of a career, feels like deceiving her most of the time
- How getting ready means just taking bath....
- How washing hair would become a luxury (havent thought of any other make up yet so far)
- How having a me-time leaves me feel super guilty all the time afterwards
- How we cannot just get up and go anywhere like before, need to be prepared atleast an hour before actually leaving somewhere
- How a small trip means a car full of things and you still cant stop feeling that it would be better if you had THAT item with you
- How restless I can feel wherever I am except for when I am around her
- How poo and wee can become a part of normal vocabulary
- How hard I could pray for smaller things like vaccinations/solid foods reaction/formula reaction, etc, etc. and the list goes on..
- How Maya becomes part and parcel of every conversation I have these days, sometimes even with absolute strangers !!
- How difficult it is to have topics for conversation with a friend who doesnt have kids ( I dont want to sound like the mom who thinks her kid is THE kid in the universe , but nothing sounds more important to talk about)
- How proud I can feel when I say I have a little girl...cant remember if I ever felt proud about something the same way as I do now .. Cant stop wondering how I could have made someone so beautiful
- How I cannot wait for the day when she would call me Amma - I still remember the day when I walked in to the Special baby care Unit in the hospital and when they asked me in the reception who I was, I said Mayas mother and felt like I won the most special award in the universe.
- Out of all, how life would become so wonderful when you see that innocent teethless smile:)
