After those initial days of waking up every 3 hours to feed and constantly check on her nappies, I can now manage sleep for up to 4 or sometimes 4 and a half hours at a stretch! What a relief
My baby is now 2 and a half months old. I cant expect the typical 2 months’ old activities because she was born premature. Thinking of those days makes me shrug and wonder how we pulled it off. It was a real task at hand to look after a 1.1 kg baby…it was like making sure that your basket of jasmine doesn’t get crushed in the rain. Such was the task, so delicate, at hand. My mom and husband are my pillars of strength. They were there even when i was struggling with new situations forced at me each day at the hospital before delivery. The day our premature baby was born, we were, all three of us in the battle together. We were literally pushed into it! Life deals us such cards sometimes, that you don’t have time to think.
Today I am a different person, I have begun to learn my baby’s needs and demands. I can understand why she cries or why she is acting cranky. I know what to expect and how to tackle situations. Like everybody I too learned it the hard way, being a first time mom made the learnings harder. There is no denying that there is something to learn in every step and there is much more to come. So here I am all geared up to learn more and perform better as a MOM!
