So, finally the baby has arrived and you are lost in coping up with the new status of motherhood. You would be all entangled in the rush of things.
But in all this, take a breather to look at your bundle of joy. Look at that beautiful creation that was inside you for the nine months. Enjoy the wonder of that tiny body...the ten fingers, the tiny little nails, the toes, the softness, the suppleness, the marvel that is your baby.
Despite the mad rush around you, the daily new routine of bathing, feeding, sleeping, nappy changing, sleepless nights, anxiety and endless visitors, do take time out to admire your baby.
Look at the fuzzy hair, the pink skin, the beautiful eyes, ears, tiny little mouth, two holes of a nose, absent eyebrows, belly button, and the lovely, enticing baby smell. Admire all those things. Wonder at how the baby actually fitted inside your womb.
Admire the way your baby stretches its arms and legs, how it moves, how it cries. Try and figure out if they way it moves is exactly how it was moving inside you. Feel the kicks, now from outside. Hold your baby's hand. Cuddle the baby and feel the warmth.
Look at the baby's face and dream about its future. Think of how it will go to school, college, university, probably abroad. Dream about what the baby will become, doctor, engineer, scientist, or artist. Dream about the day when it will find its soul mate and get married. Dream about the dresses you'll buy for the baby, the accessories you will buy for the baby, the school items, and the gifts.
Look at your baby's face and think of what life it will lead and what joy it will bring.
Do try and think of all things. Do not forget to admire the tiny bundle of joy. Because even before you know, even before you realize, the baby will have grown and those moments will be gone. It will be too late when you realize that you forgot to admire the baby when it was just born and a new wonder for you! Don't miss the fun!
