A catch up with Kuan yesterday at Darilyn's 1st mth inspired my post today....
He was asking me how was motherhood so far and i told him in one word - GREAT!
Yup, so far, the pros have outweigh the cons in SO many ways....i told him i dun mind not clubbing, not gg to the beach etc as all these are not that impt anymore...=)
Thus, i have complied 10 points to show how motherhood changed me, the benefits of being a mum and how much i have been loving this journey so far....
1) Its more him than me....A kid will wash away any self-centeredness you have inside you. You will just become this selfless person who will do anything for the well-being of your baby.
2) Patience is a virtue...and you will have it when you are a mum...
3) You will just become this ridiculous person who gladly spend any amount (within your limit) if it benefits your baby - yup...$50/lesson to stimulate Thad's brain; $20 feeding bowls to teach him how to self-feed...
4) As mention above, all the things which you used to do before will seem not as important as your child - going on holidays/sun tanning on the beach etc...
5) you will appreciate your mum much much more. You will come to understand the reasons why she forbid you to do stuff last time.
6) Nothing beats your child's smile/hug/kiss after an end of a Loooooong day at work. Its priceless...
7) The joy of seeing your child reach their individual milestone - taking their first step; speaking their first word...Priceless again...
8) You become more organised in your life - Baby eats every four hours. Diaper bag must include XXX, YYY and ZZZ....nuthin less....
9) You relive your childhood all over again! Gg to the zoo, watching disney shows, hearing to nursery rhymes....ok, i know for some ppl, they dislike all this....B always tell me that he feels that i enjoy watching the shows more than thad! =p
10) This reason is cater more towards me...another reason to shop! I trawl Kiddy palace and other baby shops more to find cute stuff for thad, other than practical stuff that he needs. =)
So there you go...10 points on why i like being a mum so much....of course, there are so so much more...If God is willing, i would like to be a mum once more...=)
Disclaimer:
-Nope, i didnt take any money from the govt or MCYS
- Mums to be must also be prepared in the tiring part - nite feeds, changing baby's diapers etc...but hey, all these are nothing as compared to the joy you find in them..
And Jan, this post is also dedicated to you...! A Europe baby? hee...
And KC, dun forget abt me when in europe ya...my shoe size is 7.( Jan can show you which brand and colour) thank you very much....*winkz*
