A New Life

It's true. Giving birth is a life-changing event. 8 months post natal and I still have not resumed my exercise regime. Worse is, I don't feel the urgency to, so unlike me.

Life as a mum. I read this somewhere 'I have never been this tired in my life, but at the same time, never this happy.' I think the fact that I lost my freedom and carefree lifestyle somehow made me a sadder human being, so the latter is not true for me. All I know is, I have never loved anyone like this before and I have never wanted to give so selflessly before. (Awww...)

Having a child can rob you of the things that you once thought you can't do without. The sick thing is, you gladly let it be robbed. The child is everything now. I know this is not very healthy, so I try to make a conscious effort to grab back a bit of my former glory. But trust me, it just doesn't seem that important when compared to the baby. (Oohh...a mother's love)

So, each day, I tell myself that I'm not only a mother but a wife, a daughter , a sister and a teacher (you see even as I typed my subconscious ranked it in order of importance). But the husband and the parents and the sister and the school do not need me as much as the son. And I go back to my own mummy world. Tsk tsk.

Okay, the baby is making noise and I have to perform the mummy duty again. Till my next post then...
