Motherhood has made me a lot of things! It has changed me for the better, if anything.

I have learnt that being a mum, you become a selfless person you never even knew existed underneath.
The mental and the physical strength that I may have now, is surprising and liberating.

I have even more respect for my parents now, because I’m actually able to understand the sacrifices that have to be made to raise children!

Congratulations Deepa on completion of happy successful year with ‘kreativemommy’ and yes for your book too. My entry for contest is coming in next comment ??

Motherhood is a second chance at becoming better and learning more .Of enjoying all the things I use to love doing once more .The love of my daughter and her innocence makes me feel blessed every second of the day .I feel like a new person after I became a mommy .
Motherhood and an ocean of love are synonyms.
My entry for the contest .

I should like to accept here the fact that I was a ‘Reluctant Mother’. Though I wanted to have a baby I never knew that coming in of this little thing will throw my life out of gear. To say precisely my little girl was born on 11th of Sept, yes truly a 9/11 in my life. Initially I struggled a lot with this small life. I was disappointed as it did not laugh like Johnson and Johnson baby. Then slowly we connected – over food, over small plays, over visiting parks and 10 years passed. The last Saturday was too special for me as a mother. My little one has been chosen as School Prefect. I just looked at her wearing the badge, tears rolled down my cheeks. In my heart I said…yes indeed it’s been a long Journey – From a Reluctant mother to a Proud Mother. Truly I can say now I enjoy my motherhood.

Motherhood, for me, is the biggest reason of happiness. After becoming a mother I realized, now, I stay happier and gleeful, all day. Those funny talks and naughty acts of my son stay in my mind all the time. And that makes me smile even in tensed and stressed situations. No matter how tired I am, this motherhood hormone keeps me up always for my son. Motherhood has also made me more vocal and more willing to open up. From my son, I understood the importance of expressing your feeling in front of others. How kids, without caring how others would judge them, freely express themselves and learning to convey my thoughts has made me more successful at my career front as well. People often say that parenthood has affected their married life. But I feel my married life has even got better after we, husband-wife, became parents. We now talk more and help each other more.

Motherhood changes every mother and I think, this change is the most beautiful thing happens to any mother!

Motherhood changed me completely ..well, how?? let me tell you ..
From being a carefree daughter , I turned in a caring mom …
Girl who always mentioned that “let anything happen I will not get up to cook breakfast at 7:00 and now I use to get up daily 5:00 am to prepare tiffin box for kids.
Girl with aim of leading cooperate world left job on high peak of career as kids need her more than her job.
Girl who seriously never said THANKS MAA !! now every alternate day call her mom to say …Thank you mummy for giving me birth , taking pains and having endless sacrifice and major thing ..how you get up early morning now I understand…
Motherhood changed a tomboy, carefree, , naughty girl into caring, loving and really possessive mom…
I am loving this phase of life which I always call “DOMESTIC ENGINEER ” Loving this designation !!!

Congratulation on completing one beautiful year of this blog and my best wishes for many such years ahead.

Like many moms out there motherhood has made me a better person in respect to patience and pure love. But, on the other hand I am too vulnerable now. Any news about kids used to affect me before as well but now it touches my heart and soul. Irrespective of news being good or bad, if a kid is involved it stays with me for a really long time.

Blog anniversaries are so special. Congratulations on yours!

I have been a short fused person all my life. Known as an absolute no-nonsense person, all my temper went down the drain once I became a mother. Initially I remained the same rational person as I had always been, but slowly I began to look at things from my kids eyes. I realized that he is looking at the world and situations through a different looking glass. As I became more tolerant towards his tantrums, I began to transform into a non-judgemental person for the rest of the world too. I still agree and disagree with circumstances, behaviors and opinions but do not get too emotional about it, because now I know that some people are more child-like or less child-like when it comes to their understanding of the world around them

Motherhood, when knocked at my doors it caught me unawares… overwhelmed, confused, scared were the only feelings I had then. Soon, tiny movements, monthly 3D scans, thumping heartbeats and some crude kicks made me fall in love with. I started singing, talking, dancing, reading for the unforeseen… career, job all took backseat for this special creature’s arrival. When she popped out in July 2012, all I said was – hey her chin is like mine!!!!
Since, then till date not a single day has been passed quite – it’s full of fun, NOISE, and lots of drama.

I was a rebel at my home, for everything I always had series of questions and counter questions ready… but when today she does the same with me – I truly feel for my parents 😉 She made me believe in KARMA.

When I look at her eyes I see HOPE, I see unconditional LOVE, I find myself smiling back with contention.

Motherhood has grounded me for good, it made me realise life is all about relations, happiness and togetherness. I am still learning to get better at it everyday.

भगवान् ने कुदरत के करिश्मे का आशीर्वाद दिया और मैं एक बेटी की माँ बन गयी….माँ बनने का वो एहसास तो बयान ही नहीं कर सकती…..वो पहली बार उसको बाँहों में लेना ……उसको निहारने भर से इतने असीम आनंद की प्राप्ति हुई की आंसुओं की धारा फिर से बह निकली…..शायद मन इतना आनंद समेट ही नहीं पाया……….सच में असली प्यार की शुरुआत मातृत्व से ही होती है ………….घर में बेटी की एक ख़ास खुशबु है जिससे सारा घर महकता रहता है …वो हंसती है तो घर चहकता है….सब खुश हो जाते हैं …….और अगर उसको कोई छोटी सी भी परेशानी आ जाये तो दिल मेरा बैठने लगता है……माँ का role निभाते निभाते अब धीरे धीरे जान पा रही हूँ की मेरी माँ को भी किस प्रकार की feelings होती होंगी….अभी तो बेटी इतनी छोटी है पर फिर भी अभी से कई बार उसके विवाह का विचार मन में आने लगता है ……मेरी बेटी चली जाएगी ? मुझे छोड़कर ? किसी और के घर ? इतना सोचते ही दिल की धड़कन बढ़ जाती है ……फिर सोचती हूँ की मेरी माँ की धड़कन भी क्या ऐसे ही बढ़ी होगी ?….माँ का असली महत्त्व आज समझ आ रहा है ……वो कई बार नादानीवश जो माँ को तकलीफ पहुंचाई तो उनके दिल पर क्या बीती होगी यह भी समझ आ रहा है…….असल में माँ का असली अर्थ मैंने तब से समझना शुरू किया जब मैं खुद माँ बनी……

माँ का अर्थ आया समझ………….. खुद माँ बनने के बाद

माँ थी तो रात में नींद कितनी गहरी आती थी………….
अब तो बार बार उठकर घडी की ओर देखती हूँ …….खुद माँ बनने के बाद ………

माँ थी तो मेरे नखरे भी उठाती थी
मैं यह नहीं खाउंगी, यह नहीं पहनुंगी..
अब मैं बाक़ी परिवार के नखरे उठाती रहती हूँ………. खुद माँ बनने के बाद …..
माँ थी तो अपनी बाहों में लेकर थपकियाँ देकर सुलाती थी
अब तो रात को दिन भर के काम से थक कर ही सो जाती हूँ ……खुद माँ बनने के बाद ………
माँ का अर्थ आया समझ………….. खुद माँ बनने के बाद

I hated children before I became a mother myself – now whenever I see a child, I want to hold it and cuddle it. It’s like sometimes the skill that was awakened by being a mother.

Motherhood meant happily keeping awake because someone needed me

Motherhood meant eating leftovers vis-a-vis never touching leftovers.

Motherhood meant buying a set of Lego when you really wanted to buy a necklace you had wanted for long.

Motherhood meant being the softest in the room even when you are the most angry one in the room.

Motherhood meant knowing the holes you made in your mom’s heart while you get one in yours.

Motherhood meant carrying you baby in an imaginary womb, providing everything even years after thy are born.

Motherhood is to identify tht imaginary umbilical cord that could never been seen but everyone knows it exists as the bond between mother and her child. Motherhood is life!
