I am back!!

..and it feels good to be back!

So, apparently the world is going to end today. And I HAD to post. Not that I believe it. Just in case.

I am back after a hiatus of almost a year. Well, this is not an excuse but I was busy. Real  busy.  First with the pregnancy and then with the baby. Yes, you read it right. I had baby girl and she is 6 months old already. And I really don’t have a clue that where did these 6 months go. Before that, all I was reading and thinking was the stuff related to pregnancy and babies so had nothing much to write and hence the silence.

Life has taken a 360 degree turn.  It has gained a new meaning altogether. I will call her “Angel” here. Although its not her real name, but she truly is an angel who blessed us by descending into our lives.  And J* and me just can’t seem to get enough of her. Now when we look back, we don’t even remember how life used to be before her.

It’s just been 6 months and there are so many changes in her. She is an active alert child who has to know all the happening in the house. She has started with semi-solids since last week and I am loving all the experimenting and the faces she makes. You have to be very creative while deciding a baby’s menu. She loves her bath time. I can’t wait to get her introduced to the swimming pool. I now know what my doctor meant when she said, “Babies grow up fast, enjoy her” and I try to capture all her moments, but there are certain things which just can’t be captured like the warmth of her fist when she holds my finger. And the smell - babies smell so lovely that you are compelled to hold and cuddle them. She recognizes me, my voice, my smell. I love it when she doesn’t want to go to ANYONE if she is in my arms. I love it when she starts smiling just by listening to my voice even if she is looking elsewhere. I love it when she is not pacified by anyone and the moment I take her, she becomes all playful. She makes me feel really special. Sometimes I wish that we should be born as adults while on the other hand, I wish I could freeze time and indulge the moment. With her, each and every day is a surprise, each and every day is special.

So yeah, if the world does end today, I will have no regrets. I am thankful to everyone and everything and especially to my Angel!
