How a baby turns around your life

Even before the baby arrives
1. if you have the habit of sleeping on your stomach, you lose your sleep on day 1
2. you suddenly cannot roll over on to your stomach
3. you wish your desk in office was near to the ladies room
4. you are scared of every speed breaker and pot hole
As time passes
5. himalayan trek - always panting for breath
6. uske pair bhari ho gaye - literally
7. you want to eat all yummy things on earth but no one allows you. what happened to all those plans I made.
8. umpteen visits to the doc... no time to spare, office and home.
9. now you can barely walk but that is exactly what is advised to you
10. already in pain but no epidural for now. "You are not enough dilated dear".
Post delivery
11. I hoped to sleep once done but i dont see that happening any sooner.
12. planning to have breakfast/lunch/snack/dinner (finally).. time for cleaning baby poop
6 months down the line
13. still no sleep
14. learnt to take naps at night without moving else you hurt your baby
1 year down the line
15. still no sleep... get up many times to see where the baby has rolled over.
2 years old
16. "mom don't sleep"
17. "mom don't go for a bath"
Overall experience... fantastic.
Even if I had the chance, I wouldn't sleep. It is so much fun watching you grow. Love you baby.
