First, it was the pregnancy. I loved every single second being pregnant. Win mentioned a few times that I was always happy when I was pregnant and nothing could make me angry or sad. To think of it, it is so true! I was lucky that I didn't experience any morning sickness during both pregnancies but even if I did, I would not complain. You know what they say, No pain, No Gain! So I believe in that. Furthermore, it is a privilege (Men would never ever agree to this but only if they know what it's like to have a living soul in your body for 9 months. Miracle!) that only women can experience and not all women sad to say.
Then, was the time to shop for newborn's clothings. Waaa...so nice. "They are all sooooo cute and I wish I can buy 'em all" I used to tell Naz. Of course Naz would always play along and told me to take all if I really wanted, aaaaa so sweet my Naz. In reality, of course we do not shop that much for both our newborns as babies tend to outgrow their clothes very, very fast.
Next, was the best time of all. The day of the delivery. I can still remember the day I held Munira or Muzafar in my arms for the very first time. No words can describe that very first few seconds with the baby that was in my womb for almost a year. I couldn't help to admire those tiny little fingers and toes. To gaze into those shining and curious little eyes that were probably wondering, is this my Ibu? It was just a WOW moment.
I love being an Ibu/mom. God I really do. I love my children with and from the bottom of my heart and every cell in my body. They are my joy and laughter (of course shouts and screams too but let's not go there and focus only on the positive hehe). I would not trade motherhood with anything in the world.
If only, if only I can have just one more. That! will be the greatest gift of all. You may think that I am ungrateful as I already have two but two just ain't enough. Three would be PERFECT. Then again, it's all with God's willing. I will accept my destiny with only gratefulness.
What I love being an Ibu/Mom:
1. Being greeted like a celebrity every single day when I come home. With kisses and hugs and daily updates on all their activities...
2. Buying clothes for them. I can go on for months without buying my own clothes but I can spend hours shopping for my children.
3. Cuddling each other underneath a comforter while watching TV on a Sunday morning.
4. Being loved unconditionally and thought of as an Idol (at least for now).
5. Smelling their hair right after shampooing. Brushing Munira's hair and putting it in 1001 styles. Combing Muzafar's hair and making him look cool!
6. Cooking something they like and looking at their satisfied and happy faces when they eat.
7. Bringing them to the park and looking at them knowing that they are healthy and happy.
8. Looking at their Angelic faces when they sleep.
And the list goes on...:)
