Toughest job on planet and happiest phase of life is becoming a parent and we are extremely proud parents of our 10-month-old (Shivansh). I feel becoming a parent is the biggest leap in one’s life. We were literally living a bachelorette kind of life for past 9 years after getting married in 2010 and were very happy in our own space but 2018 was a big shift and we are still feeling overwhelmed with the emotions of being parents. It’s still unbelievable sometimes that I am a mother now.
Before kid life was simple, smooth and easy, it was all about late night outs, long drives, parties, career ambitions, couple goals, fighting on silly things, having unhealthy foods, dinner dates, several coffee times, having daily dinners together on one table and so many things the list is too big to cover up here.
However after Shivansh is born life has become more meaningful and let me also say a little hectic too. Off course in a good way because, earlier I use to get ample of time to spend on silly things, on the contrary now I invest my time wisely depending on the priority of the task to be accomplished. In short time has become money for me (not literally though). Now we have life goals, our plans are long term and we try to make them full proof.
We hardly get time to schedule or even think of dinner dates but we have become more caring towards each other without taking efforts to be together. With Shivansh we have learnt to live for each other more and we read minds of our better half without even saying a word.
Have completely stopped unhealthy eating , have started to save money for our future by spending wisely, Coffee times are replaced by play times certainly and fightings are replaced by diaper, nap and solid foods discussions.
I retired temporarily from my 8 hrs day job however, I am on a 24*7 motherhood job now. My salary is replaced by dangerously cute smiles, tight hugs, annoying cries, noises and loads of kisses from my little one which is priceless and timeless. I don’t want to sound like my life has become ideal and fun filled with baby, but our life has become more happening and adventurous than it was. We wake up early to see our little munchkin asleep. Sometimes I just hide to see that my son is innocently looking for me. While these little things are becoming a daily reason for our smiling faces, we are also aware of the fact that he is growing fast and this time won’t last for long, so we try to live the moment thoroughly as tomorrow when he starts going to school and college and step in the real world, he won’t hug us so often or kiss us as much or even try looking for us as much. Today he has become our world and will be forever but for him we are his world only for a while, not forever.
So I keep saying to Shivansh, “Kiss me a little more, cuddle me a little more, Laugh with me a little more until I am not far away a little more”.
