It was in April12th 2008 that I knew i am carrying!!! It was one of
the most happiest day of our lives. We were at bangalore. The first
person I called was my mother. She was overwhelmed with joy.. we talked
for almost an hour.Me and Renju didnt sleep that time. we were busy with
our mobiles calling our dear ones to let them know about our good
news!!!Soon after a week, I started developing all morning sickness,
suffered a lott..
After a month, had the first scan and
my doctor advised me to take bed rest as there was some issue with my
health. Without a second thought, i quit my job and returned home.Then
month wise check ups, scans,tensions, excitement.... whenever i go to
doctor she makes me hear baby's heartbeat.. i always enjoyed it and as
she was my father's colleague, i used to make her repeat it again and
again. I was due on december 26th, scan report always said so. But my
doctor asked me to get admitted on dec 10th 2008. I was full of tension
like all in that situation and finally on dec 12th as i developed less
pain, doctor aunty went for ceserean. After 4 hours or so I became
conscious and was eager to see my child.
Then
there she came, wrapped in a white cloth. she was brought to me by
sushma sister. As i was not supposed to get up,she sat near me with baby
so that I can see her nicely. I forgot to ask whether its a boy or
girl. I have never taken such small babies ever but I dont know how i
had the courage to hold her.I think my eagerness outweighed my fearness.
She was sleeping. Very peacefully... :-). I could not take my eyes off
her. She used to cry a lot at night during the first 3 months and we
both never slept those days. Someimes I used to get worried about her
continous crying and I used to wake up my father and he always advises
me not to be over concerned about it.
After
5-6 months, all advised and some even scolded me for not joining back
to my career. But I could not leave my daughter for a moment, I was sure
of that. I didnt pay attention to their words and went on. I knew that
these days of her, she needed the utmost care and I know no one except
me can give her that to the fullest. I was happy with it and I am still
proud to have spent those days with her. As I was with her on all her
stages, I know the dates of each of her stage. On may 27th 2009 she had
her first roll and by june mid came the teeth. :-) she started
crawling on oct 8th 2009 and walked steadily on june 23rd 2010. I was
always very particular about the important dates in my life, I always
wanted to know the dates of each of my baby's stages. If I had gone to
work , I am sure I would have missed all these dates. Thank God that I
didnt change my mind. :-)
After
we celebrated her 3rd birthday , I joined back my career and she stays
at daycare in the day time. It was difficult for both of us to stay
apart even for a few hours. Now shes 3.6yrs. and very happy to go to
play school. She talks non-stop now, knows to write 3-4 alphabets,combs
her hair very well, dresses up nicely. she had started developing her
own style and last day she demanded for a mobile so that in the evening
if I am not able to leave office in time to pick her, I can call her and
tell her to wait. When I scold for her naughty deeds, she makes me sad
with her senti dialogues and when I say sorry for scolding, she laughs
at me and tells me that she was acting. She likes movie songs and when
she sings some of them with her own lyrics, i feel soo happy and
surpirsed!!! Now her fav number is ammaayi song of a malayalam movie....
Today she told me that she wants to wear a churidhar and that too with a
shawl. Now I feel time is flying and so I prefer to spent most of my
time with her. When shes in a good mood, she helps to arranges veggies
in the fridge and helps me in hanging wet clothes. Still she needs me to
tell stories at night and wants me to be with her when she sleeps. When
I get tensed for some reason, she comes to me and tells me
"chammanapedu amme"!!! You dint get that word.. samaadhaanapedu amme!!
:-)
Feels very proud to have a daughter like her... :-)
