Yesterday, we celebrated Mother's Day! Now, it has greater meaning for me since I'll be one very soon. But I believe being a mom starts as soon as one knows that she is expecting. The joy and excitement is just overwhelming the first time you see the two lines in your pregnancy test, for most of the moms ( different case of course if it's unplanned or unexpected).
Then you know that your life has to change and adapt to that growing baby inside you. Everything evolves around the little one, all decisions made, food to eat, places to go, liquids to drink, sex life&work related stuff. A woman takes extra precaution in everything she does, tries to ignore stress for baby's sake, eats vegetables that she doesn't usually like before for baby's health, drinks milk regularly, stops drinking coffee from fave cafe, stops drinking any alcoholic beverages or going to the bar, or basically starts to have a healthier lifestyle to take into consideration the welfare of the little one. These all seems hard to do before, but knowing that someone's life depends on you..one will do everything in her power to protect that life.
But again, pregnancy is just the first step..then comes the baby into the world and then the responsibility of providing and nurturing comes into place. The obligation of raising a future good citizen lies in the parents hand, primarily from the mother since she's going to be the most visible caregiver for the baby.
I believe, being a mother never stops even when your baby becomes a mother/father already. It is continuous love for your child, guidance, protection and care. So I really salute all mothers out there, working or stay at homes.. I know that no one is perfect, even mothers do make mistakes but I still believe that each one will only wish the best for their children. I am excited to this new chapter of my life.. of our lives. Soon the house will be filled with more love and laughter.
