My daybreaks with cooing of my baby. Though the whole night remains a struggle to keep him inside the blanket and he continuously throwing it away. Apart from this waking up in between to feed ( my 5 month old baby) I hardly get any sleep.
 
It's 4:45 in the morning, I suddenly woke up to realise he has thrown his blanket off, is happily awake and kicking in the air.                    
By 5:30 my husband woke up and then he takes charge while I head off to a good sleep without interruption for two hours sometimes three.. what a blessing.             (sometimes I wake up with nightmares as both of them are without supervision lol)

They spend good time playing together, watching birds from balcony ( due covid we stay indoors). I'm sure its a great bonding experience for my husband too. I woke up today at 8:30 after a nice rest. We switch between making breakfast so some days he makes and some days I do it. After which he heads to his work as he's working from home.


By 11:00 I start giving massage to daksh then we played doing animal sounds and peek-a-boo followed by bath. He usually gets very fussy after bath and just wants to have feed and sleep. Another task is to put him to bed after he's dozed off in my lap. As many times I put him he wakes up and starts smiling. Between all this I cooked lunch with one leg in the kitchen and the other in the bedroom. Finally we sat to eat and its 03:00 in the afternoon. Just about to finish lunch and we heard him crying and so I head over to the baby while my hubby did dishes and then went back to work.

While Daksh was off to sleep it dawned on me that it's a good time to write a blog about myself which I wanted to do since so long. 

Once you're working then if you have to sit at home (on maternity leave) it becomes difficult. Even more so now that you avoid going out unnecessary due covid. Sometimes its sheer madness and to overcome it I thought lets do something which I have never done ie. to be more open about myself and here I am posting my second blog. 

“Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.” - St. Francis of Assisi

Evening is usually when I clean the house as my baby enjoys the noise of vaccum cleaner ( one that I have especially bought during pandemic as there's no help). Funny as it may sound but it works for me. Maybe  you can try it aswell, it really calms my baby and if it works for you let me know in the comments below.

My day has only start with no ending..On that note I leave for now for a quick nap.

Let's know each other

Few things to know about me... It's my first blog ever, I'm an introvert and making a bold move by writing this blog to step out of my cocoon. I'm a Pilot by profession and a Mother by choice and everything in-between is just juggling of different roles and responsibilities of life. Well, im a new mom though not so new as it has been 5 months but still new as there is lot to discover and learn when it comes to motherhood. Nobody tells (warns) you or prepares you about this rollercoaster life you're about to enter as a mother.  As much as I love my baby it sometimes is nerve wrecking. I have a baby boy, the most precious thing in my life. I have named him Daksh. Currently im on a maternity leave and enjoying the most precious time at home with my darling angel. Due to covid my hubby too is working from home and it actually gives an ample amount of time to strengthen the bond between father and son.  So if you're interested to know about my daily routine as to how I c

For ease, let's look at different phases and the essential items you need to purchase. Hospital bag:  Now, a couple of weeks before your due date, it's a good idea to pack your hospital bag so you are all ready to go when the time comes.

Aside from the personal items and clothing you'll need for yourself, there are a few things you really need to pack for your baby. Weather-appropriate onesies , and an outfit for them to wear home from the hospital.  Burp cloths and bibs to help clean up the dro

Old wives' tales

A time like never before. No one ever thought that there will come a time when all will be forced to sit at home.  For many this is the time of great confusion, grief, unemployment but for others who are expecting its the time of joy and immense pleasure as a child brings joy to our life The nature somehow finds it's way to strike balance. Lot of friends in my inner circle are expecting too and along with this comes the interesting discussion the old wives' tales . So I thought of sharing my experience with you all. Though I would like to clarify that this is far away from being scientifically true and there's no guarantee that you'll have a boy or a girl. As mother's love knows no bounds, girl or a boy the love of mother is above all that for her baby. So on a lighter note lets begin.. Myth no.1:  If you have too much nausea, you're carrying a girl.  Reality: I had nausea the entire 9 months. I didn't just have morning sickness, it was sickness whole day.
