Painting my world red
He looks into my eyes so deeply, it make my soul
smile truly every time I hold him in my arms.
Ah! To bear my heart out on my sleeves I began to
just write and cannot stop. I remember it was four months ago since I last
wrote. To pen down my thought was by far kicked aside and got messed up with
the daily new schedule of mine and that was to wake up, feed my baby, bath him,
dress him up , feed him again, put him to sleep, carry him to work. Oh girl!
You are a mom now…the newest actually who is trying to slip in every mommy’s
suit that comes her way. I tell you honestly, it is lovely to have a baby you
could devote so much of your time that you do not even realise when the
sunrises and when it set without even notifying you a thing. You just woke up,
fed the baby, changed his diaper and made him sleep and its already time to
sleep at night. And at the end of the tasks you realise all you did the entire
was that over and over again. They say that is the beauty of being a mother. I
do agree it is beautiful to have someone who you could love and sacrifice so
much without a condition.
But the untold sacrifices you should be ready to
lay on the altar remains untold. It can never be listed nor narrated. To me
having my baby changed a whole lot of thing for good and for bad as well. I had
to join my work when he was just a month old. Taking the infant to office when
the sun was mercilessly scorching its heat upon the city as though the city was
curse upon and when my office was not air conditioned were one of the toughest
challenge. For few weeks my office turned into a nursery with my baby stuffs
packed, the cradle below the fan, the prams at one corner and we almost turned
one portion of the room into a toddler’s playroom. You must have imagine the
picture of an infant taken to office every day.
Baby would stretch and yawn to glory by the time we reach home and I lay
him down on the bed as he was carried the entire day. My heart would melt to
wake him up in the morning as I had to take him to work every day. But thank
God! Almost four months it just fared so well and wonderfully with my baby not
having too much to complain about my busy schedules. I could slay with my bear
hands of any problems that comes my way to skin into my new role as a first
time mom, I would watch my favourite cuisine turning cold as I feed my baby and
wait for my sister to initiate caring him, for days I would never be able to
get a proper sleep due to my post cesarean pains and I would struggle the
entire night just for the love of a minute contented sleep. There are days when
I still try to stop for a second and question myself “Is there a single minute
you have just for yourself? Alone time? “Alas, even that bliss I could not avail
at some point of time. So my pleasurable self-worth times comes during my
shower when I would sing and stare for long, wait! For long???No approximately
for ten minutes. Because the new daddy
in the house could do anything to be a super dad but when it comes to pacifying
a crying baby, only the super mom works. I would spend hours feeding the baby
to put him to sleep and there comes the dad who would very confidently shoulder
the time to look after the sleeping baby. We all know a sleeping baby is as uncertain
as buried mines that may explode anytime soon. He would set an eye on the baby
as a lion king being over protective about its cubs. But before I could finish
my shower the tiger would fail to stop the roaring little cub. So comes the end
of my self-realisation time which are so precious that no jewel on earth can
afford. They invade your personal space but well, it was indeed an invited
guest of you. My guest has already arrived to drink his milk and I hope to
continue my blog in the next episode.
