So
here I make a comeback, after a really long gap
trying
to summarize my 3 years, to all my near and dears
come
the lockdown of March 2020, there was work just more and plenty
the
concept of work from home and work of home
was
so new to digest, it took almost 3 months to adjust
just
like old most everyone else, we also became MasterChefs
nights
of Netflix and surfing, and mornings of ‘Surf’ and mopping
Spent long hours in
the day working, taking breaks in between for cooking and cleaning
that was also a
time for introspection, and we took a major life changing decision
to become three
from two, as we were also near touching 32
And after that the
story of the 9 months ahead, which were made easy by husband being the best
bouts of nausea and
missing
regular doctor
visits and advice on eating nutritious
creating positive
thoughts to learning squats
getting to meet
family after long,
that moment I
wanted to forever hold-on
attending to
regular scans waiting to hold those tiny hands
As the time was
coming closer, my breathing getting heavier
the nights felt
longer, with the belly growing larger
still remember the
last few days, I had my last scan on a Saturday
the doctor said I
could start preparing for the D-day
it was that final scan
that showed those tiny ears and nose
the face you view
so up-close
it was the best
family time ever, playing cards after each dinner
the week went by
and came another Saturday
another visit to
the gynae, she told me the baby is slowly creating its way
but you didn't need
to stay, come to me another day
That night was
different, as the clock struck twelve
We all wish our mommy
“a birthday special”
wrapped up our
rummy game and went into our dens
later in the night
started the final countdown,
counting
contractions every 10 minutes down
I prepared my bag
and gathered my medical file
woke up everyone as
it was beyond time
we reached the
hospital early in the morning
and few hours later
welcomed “my new beginning”
