Take Care

Congratulations!!! Though its late but as its said, it's never too late. "Finally you people decided to fulfill our wish."

You all must have understood what is going on. Yes its the excitement of the would be grandparents. Today my gynaecologist confirmed it and said "this is the best gift for your parents." Its confirmed and you can tell your parents about this good news. We were also happy, though not ready for this challenge of parenthood, were of-course scared but we were happy.

Me the would be mother 29 years, my husband the would be father 34 yrs old. Its been three years ,we got married ,few ups and downs, fights, kisses and hugs, the regular life. I was 2 months pregnant and having few problems, so the whole day I used to lie down and eat. My husband was taking good care of me. He cooked for me, when I was in bad mood he sang for me, we went for walks. In spite of so many physical problems I was feeling good.

Emotional health was taken good care by my husband. One lazy day, my father in law called up, I was sleeping so I didn't pick up the call. In evening he called my husband to talk to me, but he was late that day. My father in law got furious and decided to come at our place to "take care" of me.

You are so lucky ,nowadays its difficult to see such a good family. They have come from Kolkata to take care of their daughter in law.

Their experience and my health were not going hand in hand. So ultimate result, change the doctor. The new doctor of their choice,hospital of their choice. "Do as the doctor says" my mother in law said to me. After few months I was diagnosed with high level of glucose.Doctor gave me a food chart, which the would be grandmother didn't like at all. NO sugar, no ghee during pregnancy.

'What will the child get from this diet" my food was served with these nutritious words everyday. My walk time was restricted with a piece of suggestion of resigning from the job. I was working in a school, the giggling sound the children made me feel so fresh and energetic. During those hours I was worry free but I am pregnant and my in-laws know better than me so I left my job. At home I was taken care by my in-laws. My husband got strict instruction from his parents "Don't disturb her when she is sleeping or taking rest. If you work with laptop in front of her,it will harm the baby" We used to just look at each other because I was taken care.

Finally nine months were over, our angel came to our lives. I had c-section, so my mother in law used to keep the baby with her. "You are weak,can't handle the baby. Let me take care of her. "After six months she started eating solids. I wanted to make baby food, but I was amateur, so this was also handled by the grandparents.

Its really lucky to have caring in -laws. But is it digestible to have so caring and loving people in your life who just keep taking care of you? My little angel was growing in front of me, but I was only watching. Its my first baby ,I am not expert in holding baby, doing potty training, singing lullaby, changing diapers but I want to learn all this. My angel is not comfortable in her mother's lap, she feels comfortable with her grandma. My angel comes to me and hug when instructed by granny. They take care of all of us.
