My new venture - motherhood it is called!

So, my little one turned 'One'!!

One - so much significance this word has for me today!!

- One year of motherhood
- One year of adventurous journey from a 'new mom' to back to 'working mom'
- One year of learning of new phrases- diapers, bibs, booties, mittens, singlets, vaccinations, nanny...
- One year of multi tasking, confusion, chaos but lots of joy, laughter and tears
- One year of transition of the l'il one from 'infant' to 'toddler'
....what a journey it has been - a journey as beautiful as it could be!!

So much has changed over this last 'ONE' year!

The once prim and prom room is littered with nappies and bibs and toys - I love this litter!
The once so called grocery list has changed into 'baby list' - I adore this list!
The once music list of 80's song has changed into rhymes and baby songs - How cute they are!
The once saved list of mongolian/ italian recipes has changed into 'recipes for 8/ 9/ 10 month old - What a variety!
The once quiet house has changed into shrieks of 'nooo bunny' 'wait bunny' 'not that bunny' - I think this is what people call being 'on the toes'!
The once so called 'thinner' me has changed into a plump, motu and over weight mom - I hate it!!

Amidst the madness, amidst the chaos, amidst the 'not so good' days to some of the most beautiful moments, the past one year has given a new definition to my life - motherhood that is called!!

The past one year made so many revelations, the past one year actually made me appreciate my mom a little more, the past one year made me salute all the moms and all the so called 'working moms' for their spectacular jugglery skills between home and office and their 'not-so saintly' kids and the past one year made me realize how a small one's smile can make your heart skip a beat, how your small one's tears can make your heart bleed and how your heart gushes with love when you secretly watch them sleep!

This and more and a lot more - that is what the past one year held. This is just the first tick in my life calendar whose second leaf has already begun. I wish I am able to catch hold of these memories and trap them here to read and re-read and re-live these moments not once, not twice but through eternity!!

I am buckling up for this new venture- motherhood it is called!!

Keep up with me, keep sending in your blessings and love and stay along in this journey of mine - motherhood it is called!
