Joy and sorrow of Motherhood

Before I embarked on the journey of Motherhood, I have heard a lot about the joy and sorrow of it. Hearing is one thing but having experiencing it myself is yet another.

It was a tough time when Iden was young. Lack of sleep, no peace (when he cried), could not pacify him, etc. It was such a stressful moment. I thought I would break down any time. But thank goodness, I had help and encouragement from ipapa. Both of us tide through this tough time together.

As Iden grows older, we can breathe easier. He sleeps through the night now, so we can have a good night rest. He smiles when we play with him. We are more aware of his temperament now, what he likes and why he cries. Things become easier.

Iden is a prolific crawler now. He is also more fun to play with now. He giggles, he screams with excitement, he is more responsive now. When he wants me to carry him, he will crawl to me. When I stretch out my hand, he knows I am going to carry him. When I shake my head and look at him sternly, he knows I am angry. He progresses well and all these developments are a joy to witness!

I am not sure if more joy or sorrow will come as he grows, but I am sure that I am enjoying my moment with him.
