How Having a Baby Changes a New Mom's Life
27 January 2012 / Uncategorized / 0 Comment
I thought I have everything, a good career, a loving husband and a beautiful home. But I am wrong. All things changed when this little bundle of joy came into our lives. I never thought that this little fragile one can have a great impact on my life.
Since the day I became a mom, she made me feel what unconditional love is. I thought love is all about give and take, but she amazes me upon realizing that I can give the love, care and sacrifice even without asking in return.
This little creature is so powerful that she was able to change day into night. Yes, I am awake during those sleepless nights breastfeeding her, changing her nappies and cuddling her. And I think, even if she’s asleep, I’ll just remain awake watching her sleep.
I just became paranoid most of the time whenever she is sick. It is very alarming whenever she is having diarrhea, fever, rashes, constipation and flu. I know these are just normal for growing baby, but if only I can take away the pain, I will do it. I am always worried whenever she is sick because I am just afraid that something bad will happen to my precious one.
She brings back the child in me. I just enjoy playing with her. I just never noticed that I already memorized the nursery songs. I learned to play doll again, peek-a-boo and dance like crazy.
She made me contented and thankful even for simpler things. For since the day she was born, I learned that there is nothing more important, precious and valuable than her. I can even leave my work just to be a full time mom for her.
She changed my shopping list. From make-up kits, shoes and bags, my shopping list turned into milk, diaper, little clothes and little shoes. I am just excited to look for the latest trend of fashion for babies.
She taught me to value my mom. I realized how much my mom loves me just how I love my baby.
I learned to value time. I am thankful every time I wake up that I still have the time to be a mom to her. I learned to balance work and family. I learned how to manage time wisely so I can have more quality time for my baby. Night life and parties are lessened. Instead of spending my time for useless things, I now cherish every moment with my little one.
And most of all, she reminded me to value my self. I learned to value my life and take care of it. For I know that no one can replace my role to her as a mom. No one can match the unconditional love I have for her. I have to stand what trials might come for I will be her strength. I will wipe every tear I have for I will be her comfort. I will face anything without fear for I am her protection.
