Well, now that was my best attempt at drum rolls!! :p
We welcomed a new member into our family on the 12th of March this year, my daughter. The entire experience of pregnancy has been overwhelming and we have been overjoyed to be blessed with a daughter. Daughters are always special. They always hold a very special place in parent's hearts (I say this from personal experience you see!!!! :) )
I used to roll my eyes whenever someone told me "You will know what it feels like to become a mother when you actually become one". I never used to understand the meaning of these lines until the day she was born. Before that day I really did not know how it feels to be a mother. I felt the sudden responsibility of a whole new life on me. There was this little baby trying to move around on my body and tears of joy rolled down my eyes.
I had thought I understood the meaning of love when I met my hubby Amitava. But I was wrong. Love for your kid is entirely different from any other relation in the world. Somewhere I had read with the birth of a baby a mother is born.The saying is right to the true sense of the term. Love for your baby starts with the conception of a dot in your womb. You feel overexcited for each ultrasonography session where you would be able to see your baby inside you. You get the immense strength to fight all the odds in the world for your baby. You smile when you look at her. You wait for the day when she shall smile back at you. All your tensions, worries go away when you look at her. You get tensed, worried and all worked up when you simply hear her sneeze or cry. This is a lovely feeling. A feeling that cannot be described in words.A feeling called "Motherhood".
