Oh, Dear Lady, Wake Up!

Oh, Dear Lady, Wake up!

It is time to rise and shine,

Stop thinking you are not worthy,

For heavens, stop believing what others say you are!

Oh, Dear Lady, Wake up!

Why listen to people who call you unlucky,

When you carry courage in your heart

And kindness in your soul!

Oh, Dear Lady, Wake up!

Some words hurt deep,

Some actions might too,

So never forget you are your first friend!

Oh, Dear Lady, Wake up!

If you love being the corporate homemaker,

You know what you want,

You have every right to chase your dreams,

And live them too!

Oh, Dear Lady, Wake up!

If you are a housewife,

Spending your life within four walls,

To build this love nest we call our home,

You must allow yourself to follow your dreams!

Oh, Dear Lady, Wake up!

You deserve a partner who respects you,

Adores and celebrates you,

For you are God’s angels,

A unique blend, fragile yet strong!

Oh, Dear Lady, Wake up!

Chin up, smile and look at you,

You will see a precious gift in front of you,

A woman with a bright smile,

Who makes it all worthwhile!

Best friends Forever

You guys,
Are a sweet surprise,
You speak everything under the sun,
The bond you share is so much fun!

I wonder how you became friends,
Touchwood, I know this will last till the end,
How much you adore each other,
You guys are better than best brothers.

I know how much fun I make of you two,
I know you are each other’s go to,
You read each others eyes,
You two are a blessing in disguise.

The bond you share,
How much you care,
It is only fair that I say a prayer,
For this love to be always there.

Last October, I skipped a period. However, I thought I must wait for a couple more weeks before deciding or letting everyone know. By Diwali, it was evident and I was asked by my family to stay super cautious for the first three months of my pregnancy.

This year, my once delicate darling is not delicate anymore. She is growing up quickly. She is into her 5th month already. I just took this time to look back to the day when I started from the hospital on Day 3.

Day 3:

I was all set to move from the hospital to my mother’s home that evening with my delicate darling wrapped in pink. Though I had read so much about parenting and babies, everything in front of me was very new. I just let go of it all, completely adhering only to my little one’s schedules that she set for herself.

Though I had a normal delivery, I was so tired and couldn’t move around much. I felt as if my pelvic girdle was hanging on both ends. I even thought if Cesarean would have been a better option.

Day 9:

We named our little one! We named her Ilakkiya! The name means, literature, or learned. It is a name applicable to Lord Lakshmi and also for Durga Devi. My husband and I selected this name for the little one.

Day 15:

We took her out for the first time for her 2 week review. I was glad she was quiet during travel. She slept most of the time during travel.

I tracked her feeding timings along with the drops prescribed for her. Some home-made medicines were also given on schedule. I felt so glad for being at mom’s home because I hardly slept in the night. I wasn’t able to move around much neither was I having a routine apart from feeding her.

1 month:

By the end of 1 month, my little girl slowly started observing her surroundings. I was surprised to see her staring at family, the only blurred images visible in front of her.

2 Month:

My grandmother was having a tough time with my little one. We call my granny as the “The Medicine Lady”. Ilakkiya cries when she comes in the evening, but not in the morning. These little ones, I tell you, are so smart.

3 months:

Until the end of 3 months, her sleep routine, as well as crying, didn’t stop much. She slept as wanted and she cried for almost everything. Her only mode of communication was crying, isn’t it? She was very good at that. However, I was lucky to understand her crying patterns by then and my little one is very understanding!

4 Months:

By the end of 4 months so much has changed! She is now not my fragile baby anymore. She even fell once from the pillow on my lap onto the bed. Though that scared me so much, I was glad she was alright. She smiled and that’s when I realized how strong these little ones are. However, the one thing that still scares me is cutting her nails.

She is in her 5th month now. She recognizes my parents and my sister so well. And she rolled just a week before we started from there. Yes, I am at my in-law’s place now, as I etch this entire post. Nostalgic moments. Today’s prompt just made my day.
