Thus Spake a New Mother (contd)

In the same breath, here are a few other truths...

1. The intense & insane love you will feel for your kid will send goosebumps down your spine.

2. You will be amazed to see the perfection of the tiny form and gush happily that it all works and how!

3. You will realize that nothing smells quite as divine as how your baby does.

4. Every time you see your husband being so, so gentle with him, your heart will swell with pride and love.

5. You will feel something nice about your strong, able body....no matter what it looks like.

6. Traffic jams, global warming, bad bosses....everything else will seem simply silly.

7. The first time you leave him even for a shortwhile will break your heart and when you return home to him your heart will flutter like it has never before.

8. You will mentally list up the places you want to show him, things you want to tell him and imagine his gurgles & giggles.

9. You will realize slowly that you can still travel, meet up with friends, and think of a career for yourself.

10. You will not be able to wait for him to utter his first word, the first independent step he will take & that very first hug.
