Dear Tejal,             Happiest first birthday little love. I can’t keep calm because it’s your dayyyyyyyy 🥳 . I wonder how fast these 12 months flew by. When I close my eyes, I find myself waiting in the OT for you to come out into this strange but beautiful world. It feels like yesterday. I don’t know how fast a year has passed since I took care of you, prepared meals for you, fed you, gave you massages, bathed you, nursed you, sang lullabies for you, laughed with you, listened to your giggles, and loved you.            When you turned 6 months old, I started making food for you and feeding you. I never thought it would have been so exciting and satisfying. Now I have realised that a bathed, dressed, and fed child gives the best feeling to every mother.           I remember the moments when you reached your milestones. Be it rolling over, sitting without support, grabbing a thing for the first...

 Dear Daughter,        Today you have turned 6 months old, half a year. Oh God ! time flies in the blink of an eye. I find myself  wondering where the 6 months have gone. Your clothes are telling me how grown you are.          This monthly birthday is special because you are gonna have your first food. I promise you, my child, I will always take care of your diet and try to offer you the best. Since I am a human, in the last 6 months, I made various blunders but learned a lot. I will try not to repeat them.           I remember that when you were born, you were my photocopy and now you have started looking like your father too. :) You used to wake up late at night. He used to sing lullabies for you to make you sleep in his arms and he used to sleep at the office then. LOL 😆 I used to call you “Rotumal and sotumal” because most of the time you used to sleep and cry only.        ...

      Bonjour lovely people :)      It took a long for me to put my childbirth story here, as my little princess keeps me busy. She is sleeping right now. So let’s start.       I will keep it raw and simple as I did in my last post “ My Bump Story ”. I hope you guys loved that. So, the day I got pregnant, I was pretty sure to have normal delivery as the elders suggest it too. I did my research, watched videos about exercise for vaginal delivery, and discussed with my husband the labor pain because I was terrified as we all know that labor pain is intense.         Bed rest was given by the doctor since the 5.5th month. That’s why I couldn’t do exercises for encouraging normal delivery. I started sweating during the 9th month. I did yoga, sitting mopping, brisk walking, chakki, climbing stairs multiple times, and house chores additionally.        But my baby didn’t like the vaginal passage ...
