Being a new mother ...

Just gave birth to a baby girl last October. My husband Rahul named her Risha. Risha's pediatrician calls us the R family. Some random thoughts on motherhood.

Being a new mother,

have not seen what a cinema hall looks like for the past four months.

have not slept an entire night.

have been struggling to get back into shape.

never seem to join my friends when they are having a night out.

get up several times at night even if she makes the slightest sound just to see if she is doing okay.

am constantly feeding, burping, changing nappies.

constantly worry for her health, her shots, a skin ailment, a cold, if she is feeding enough.

Being a new mother ...

just to look at her face and to hold her, do know all of the above is worth it.
