Story of mothers instinct
So today when u bad done poo poo I felt u may be hungry…so quickkyl daddy warmed a bottle feed but somehow by that time u fell asleep . I still felt that u may be awake and then u may take it. Luckily u got up after fifteen minutes of power nap and then again we warmed the bottle so test if u will take it. And since last few days u have been little fussy about warmness of the milk ..you again rejected it . Daddy sed u r not hungry so let it b. But I knew u wanted it…so I kept pushing for it and then somehow u got the latch and we were a go. Thank you for making me a mother and knowing that I cn know you as well..gives me strength in being a mother.
I’m very honest il be definitely applying this theory that if I’m happy then ul b happy. So I don’t want to b a perfect mom I wan yto be happy mom . Thank you for making me one. I’m enjoying every bit of it.
Food has bhindi mushroom daal rice . Night ..lettuce salad. Brocolli. |
Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.
