First Time Motherhood

Motherhood is the essence of every woman. It begins at the onset of a life within and is manifested when we get to hold our fruit of love being nourished and nurtured within us for 9 long months.

My experience as a first time mom is quite overwhelming. When I got pregnant, my husband and I were thousands of miles away from our family. So, I was a bit scared. But being under a good prenatal care and in the best hands of my husband, I overcame all fears. Finally, completing a full cycle mixed with anticipation and apprehension, when she was being put on me I felt a heavenly peace.

At that time, I knew from now on my life is going to change.

The moment when we welcomed our baby girl I bonded with her right away. Even though having no prior experience of child handling, somehow, I felt the needs for her. That’s the motherly instincts, I suppose. Time went by and our daughter journeyed through the stages of crying to make her demands till now, where my kiddo and me act out signs and signals to converse making life easier and fun filled.

She may not be able to articulate, but her gestures speak a thousand words. Her best intimation being stretching her arms towards me, babbling mama, to embrace her and love her. And the most amazing thing is her ingenuous smile, which surely makes my day. Everyday we play and laugh together and I’ve the best moments of my life. She completes me in every aspect.

Nonetheless, whenever I set eyes on her I find it incredible to see how once a little pulse inside me is now a heartbeat getting stronger everyday. I know I can go on and on about my little girl, but there has to be an end; before signing off I must admit there’s nothing like being a mom, more so “the first time”.
