Right now am expecting the number 2, the courage and confidence to gain this number was bestowed by the little smart terror "my beloved son". Amazing isn't it, this page is totally dedicated for my son. First of all lot of convincing had to be done to make an addition when we were just 2. The only condition to meet was not to be wished "Happy first wedding anniversary" by the baby. One reasonable dad excuse i believed.. so the journey started with Sriram.
Except for the first trimester I enjoyed the pregnancy till delivery and even after. That same enjoyment still persists even when he grows up. Doctors and all members involved in the parent community always insist on connecting with the baby as soon as conceiving, which i felt was certainly true particularly when that connection benefits you on the long run while taking care of the baby through stages and years. As per the words of swami Vivekananda "awake arise stop not till the goal is reached" dreaming is the first key to successful parenting. Both of us had our dreams & goals of how we wanted our baby & shared the thoughts effectively as it is the involvement of both parents is the second key to parenting. Without each other's help parenting journey is no smooth.
My mind: I had a lot of interest in psychology - the mind power. Believing in that mind power actually strengthened my goals. A peaceful mind is a great way to keep out stress from life, when we practise to be peaceful by contentment it actually happens that we start smiling at everything. Enjoying life to the fullest possible is best achieved this way. This thought not only helped in pregnancy but while delivery also. Even though i had a water break early morning i could sense it in between my sleep but did not panic, actually gained confidence and a natural feeling of joy followed as am going to see my baby for whom i waited this long. My thoughts followed with little curiosity how my baby would look like & eventually i landed up in dream forgetting the delivery & hospital tensions. This time as am experienced am just awaiting that big day.
Now all i dream is how my no 1 is going to welcome his baby sister, with a balloon obviously i guess since he's fond of balloons. Prayer & meditation during pregnancy greatly helps but basically a calm healthy thoughts are enough to a successful pregnancy & delivery in my experience. Who can help along?
My family: While building & expanding the family lot of changes happens with too many considerations to be sacrifised or to deal with. To be blessed with a happy & supporting family is amazing right? i enjoyed the support of my spouse through out this stage. Not only him but my parents, in-laws, some relatives & especially good friends. They were my backbone to move forward. So naturally a well built family members & people arround in a smooth relationship are the nice environment to thrive upon is a relishing experience worth sharing any time in life.
