It has been just over 2 months. I honestly still find this feeling a little bit strange. Looking at a little girl in my arms and can't believe that I am really a mother.

You may say "what about those 9 months? You should know what is coming."

Well, I guess the answer is "you are never ready to become a parent"

I used to think "I love kid, I am mature enough, a baby? Piece of cake!

It turned out that it never has been for me. Even though my little girl is quite contented, looking after a baby requires lots and lots of energy.

Mentally I also have to deal with the feeling of responsibility that will never end and the expectation on myself to raise her to be a good person and to provide her a good life. I realize now that it is not gonna be easy.

So this year, for the first time, I can actually feel probaby a fraction of what my mom has been through. How could she cope with 3 children? I feel so stupid to not show my mom (and dad too) how much I love and appreciate what she has done for me before.

As for my little celebration. A Mother Day meal @ Orangery

Happy mommy

It goes both ways.

It's not easy for the father also

Congratulations, Kayle.

I've enjoyed being a dad so much ... i know it is not the same thing as being a mom, but it is fulfilling nevertheless.

They do grow up so quickly . . . before you know it they've taken off without you to play football in Italy/Tunisia, or they've gone off to university. ("Hey, I'm your dad, remember me?") 555

Enjoy your baby while you can...

Happy Mother's Day, Kay and Lenny.

congratulations!

what a beautiful little girl.

don't forget to have fun, kids grow fast.

I never think that I can be a good mother ever... Glad to hear you're a happy mum.
