Entering Motherhood

To-be-mom

Ah! What a lovely feeling. Its been three years that we are married and now after being a responsible wife its time to be a mature mother. December 2008 probably is the time when my little one entered my body and it was until Feb'09 we waited desparately to get that positive sign on the pregnancy test device. What an amazing feeling. So many things running in my mind. I got to do this, I got to do that. I don't need to rush, I need to walk slowly, I need to eat this and not eat that. Oh my
God so many instructions by me to myself. And then, taking the first doctors appointment and awaiting that precious moment to see my little one for the first time on screen. And then onwards waiting endlessly for the next appointment to see my little one breathing inside me.

It was 28th of April evening 7 pm when I first felt my little one kicking me from the inside of my womb. What a wonderful feeling it was. Since then, I desparately wait every day, every
hour to hear and feel that touch through his tiny little legs. Sometimes when I am over active I do not realise the kicks and get worried, then eat something sweet and try to relax for some
time or sleep on the left side to feel the touch. And what a relaxed feeling I get when I realise the tiny kicks in my pomchi poo. Seems my little one is a quiet baby. Never ever have I felt any craving for food. A very satisfied baby like his father.

Awaiting your arrival precious one........

Me, a wee homemaker?

Although, I am married for more than 3 years it is only 2 years that I am actually performing the role of total homemaker. Never ever in my childhood, in my teens or in my work life before marriage, I ever imagined to be a total House wife. I always had a big dream of earning lots and lots of money and making my career to the fullest, even after getting married. That is why, I chose a family and husband that would always allow me to work throughout my life. But something else was written in my destiny :)Its been little over 2 years that we are happily living in Tokyo. The day we decided to move to Japan and I put my resignation at "Ness" there were dreams in my eyes that were making place for themselves of working in a foreign land with foreign people would be an exciting and opportunitic experience.
As we arrived Japan (initial 3 months in "Fukuoka"), never in my wildest dreams I ever imagined to enjoy doing the house chores and simply taking care of my hubby's stuff from making in lunch and breakfast, sending him off to office, ironing his clothes, making delicious dinner of his choice and all the stuff that he would love me to do for him. Though there were no expectations from his end it gave me 100% satisfaction to do things for him and making our living much better. That gave me even more satisfaction then ever doing any prestigious job.
I struggled for over 7 months to finally achieve a job at an MNC in Tokyo and worked for over 5 months and thats it, since then I am a pure house wife doing the daily house chores which I have started loving.
Until we setup our new home away from our motherland and owning a kitchen, I was not even able to recognise the different types of "Dals" ;-) Many of the tips and recipes I learnt from my darling hubby who would love to give me rest in the weekends and pamper me with his delicious dishes :)But today, according to my hubby I am a good cook (though not best yet) as I remind him the recipes that he once taught me ;-)
I do not know until when I will be performing the role of a complete housewife as I look forward to working when we go back to our homeland. But this experience of being a complete housewife will always cherish in my memories and certainly these years are one of the best years of my life.
