Motherhood- Holy guacamole

Motherhood-Holy Guacamole

 When people tell you that it's the right time to have a baby, they are talking about your body and your age, but it's not just that. It's not just the age that matters while you are planning to have a baby, it's a mix of many things. Physical health, psychic component, right perspective about life is what all needs to be in place. 

Everyone knows that being a mother is not that easy, it demands a lot, after all, you have a life to nurture, to take care of, to teach about life and it's doings. It demands selfless love- literally.

 You need to be healthy to take care of your child. Health is wealth and who so ever had said that surely knew the blessing of a healthy life. If you are not well, you cannot give your 100 percent and wearing the motherhood shoes demands a lot of running around, and most of the time it is a one-legged race and the shoes are pretty heavy ones,

It is like juggling things, and the stuff you are busy juggling is most precious and delicate, and you cannot miss out any of it, all of it is very very important.

 I read a quote somewhere "I don't want to sleep like a baby, I want to sleep like my husband" yes it's true. It will be you burning the nights and not expected to let the smoke out, you will have to keep it contained inside, initially, you do it but then it's not humanly possible, and some day it will just explode, fill up the air between you and your spouse and suffocate you guys unless one of you opens the window and lets the fresh air in so that you can breathe and see each other clearly again like you used to till the time the hypnotism is shaken off by a shrill baby cry and you rush again to the farthest corner of the room . It definitely is straining for the couples. 

It teaches you the intricate art of doing things with one hand because the other hand is busy holding the baby. 

Your social circles takes a toss:

 Your friend pings you; wanna grab a cup of coffee at 3.00 

You: yeah sure, oh no its baby's nap time, maybe some other time. 

Friend: Hey I was in your town, and you didn't call me up ( happened with me last week) 

You: Oh yeah, sorry, baby had a loose gut, so all I was doing was diaper change, diaper in bin, baby in cot, one more bout, then again diaper change, diaper in bin, baby in cot, one more bout, then again diaper change, diaper in cot, baby in bin....wait a second, did I say baby in bin? Aarrghhh....I am stressed out :( I hope you understand. 

Seriously when I am going out, my bag is full and loaded with baby wipes, diapers, extra clothing, baby food, water ....my stuff...I don't even know where I kept my shades, my wrist watch...phew who needs them anymore :o

 You are so tired to change into anything while going out and wearing yoga pants seems the best possible option and you have no complaints about that. Style quotient goes on a vacation :)

 Off diaper time is a warm jet of freshly brewed pee on your face, ahh! Refreshing. 

And when finally your baby is fast asleep, you are exhausted, you look like a drug addict...but then you marvel at the beauty, the innocence, the calmness on his face, your heart overflows with love, your eyes brim up with tears, you feel a lump in your throat and kiss that face and you thank God for the sweetest gift and if by any chance baby wakes up again..you are dead!! mind it...nobody should disturb a sleeping baby..

It's like that!!

DIY POM-POM NECKLINE T-SHIRT

After making homemade soaps and balms I have been thinking a lot lately about healthy & natural living, good thing is that I have been reading all the food labels before purchasing stuff and I can't tell you how many products I had to put down today morning while I had been out to buy groceries , every third thing had “Artificial flavours, artificial colour” and I never paid any attention to them before …it’s a real cause of worry and this latest row over exceedingly high levels of lead in the so famous Maggi noodles has left everyone agape!! I mean you don’t know really what’s going on in our body system??

Anyways apart from that I have been thinking about how I can add some homemade charm to Vihaan’s clothing  and yesterday I came up with this idea of sewing the Pom-Pom’s on the T-shirt's neckline and I turned out to be a pretty good idea…he looks so sweet!!

 I have some time before he grows up and says “Hey mom, boys don't wear this/that” ;) 

Some Bum Charm ;)

Around here, we are learning new things everyday, 

Let's quickly get to the story behind this bum charm....there is a very sweet comely boy in our society "Arokya", I spotted him in his cool pants while he was hopping and running in his own world in the park couple of days back, he had very cute animal patches on his bum and his mother "Mala" told me that they have a complete set of these pants...I Absolutely fell in love with his pants.

 I wanted something like that for Vihaan as well, so I ripped some patches from Vihaan's old clothes that no longer fit him and stitched them on the pants...since we do not have a sewing machine at home, we had to do it with hands :( but we enjoyed.

  Vihaan was happy posing for pictures...it was kinda funny, I was after his bum with my lens...

Thanks to Mala and Arokya for the inspiration :)

At home today

Vihaan playing with sunshine, Akash playing games on mobile, 

 While Supreet (me) printed an old pillow cover,  I was bored with the same old look and thought of stamp printing some flowers :), it was possible as Akash kept vihaan busy while I completed my project, I wanted to print some more stuff but...baby to take care of :)

A poem for my cupcake...

Something I wrote for darling....

Day painted in velvety pink

Pink pink everywhere!!! It was a wonderful day painted with velvety pink, it all started with one little beetroot and ended up with pink stains everywhere...I enjoyed every bit of it, I was as nonchalant as you are, as lively as you are but not as innocent as you are :)

You have taught me that sometimes it feels so good to live in a moment, even though the routine is same every day yet my days are not the same any more, every day we discover more about each other, we get closer to each other and we learn so much together, last night when I was singing "Ba Ba Black sheep" , you repeated the words " Ba Ba" after me and you kept doing it until you fell asleep :)

Let's keep learning, loving, and laughing going on forever!!

You, me and my thoughts...

Sometimes I wonder how I have lived my early years without you my darling Son!! It seems totally no-go now, you have became an important part of my life and I love you to the core of my heart.

Sometimes I wonder what goes on in your head, what do you think, what do you feel, what do you think of me, how do you perceive me?? 

Nowadays you have started to say few more words other than "MAMAA", PAAPAA",  Yesterday you kept saying "LAAA LAAA, LAAA, LAA" all day long, sometimes I wonder how much more you have to learn in life, how diverse your vocabulary will be!!

While you were busy playing with own stuff I clicked few pictures.

I am working on a project of printing some sheets for your crib, God knows when it will be complete :( I clicked the pic of one of the stamps as well!!

 About the pictures above:
