Mother's thought on Mother's Day

Today On Mother's day I will like to pen down what changed in me as a person.

It started about 7 p.m., two week before my due date my water broke.I called the doctor and she asked me to drove to the hospital. They checked me and said I was already in labor. Baby head was not fixed so the doctor told me that We should think about a c-section.My first reaction was that I didn't want one. I hadn't read up on c-sections but I trusted my doctor, so I said OK.He was born at 5 23 in the morning.I saw him after 3 hrs.
During the past 9 months, I thought I'd bond with my boy immediately, but I didn't quite feel a sense of "maternal bonding" until about 6 hours later when I first saw him smile.And that's when my heart melted.

The major decision which I made was to breastfeed my son. I used breast pump to pump and fulfill my son's needs.When he was 2.5 years I weaned him.And during these years I felt it as our top bonding activities to date.

I feel my son has made me a very strong person.Looking after him and managing my roles and responsibility as a career oriented woman was made very easy by his support.Evenings when I come and pick him the smile I get from him is simply beyond comparison.I feel responsible for my actions.More thoughtful towards my son aspiration.

When I am upset a tender and caring gesture from my son gives me comfort.Your company gives me satisfaction.
I observe my son activities and his perception towards everything in life.And this observation helps me to  understand my husband as a person.

Utmost I can say I love the silly conversation we have.Its humors and takes away the tension.And I hope as you grow old you will continue communicating and sharing your stuffs with me.It makes me smile.
