MTB - Mother-to-be. It may still seem surreal but reality is closer now that we're officially counting down. Motherhood is not only a brand new experience but also very humbling. It's elevated learning experience for me. For a long time, nothing has stumbled me. Puzzled me, yes but it's never too hard to figure out what to do next. It just takes time and confidence is built with practice. But this pregnancy and subsequently motherhood journey is going to be lifelong. I can't bail out just because I Don't Know. From learning the very basics of which products to buy / use, how to operate the breast pumps or steriliser to financial management, it's not just any other task where it's OK to fall short. Any negligence can affect the baby's well being.
And so, this is only the beginning. I washed the first batch of newborn clothes today. There is something amazingly therapeutic about it and signaling the actual arrival for the baby, which is drawing closer... and closer. Even the laundry detergent seems more calming! This is why i never gave up on blogging. Cos I look forward to coming back to this post, four or even six months from now and revisit my current emotions. If I'm feeling bogged down then, this would be a good reminder of the excitement and being a "newbie" of the brand new experience. If it only gets better, i can simply continue to count my blessings. :)
