I can't believe I am a mother!



I am now a mother. I can't believe it myself!

Since schooling days, practically every single person who knew me, will go, "You are so motherly. You will make a good mother!".

I had no idea what that was all about. All I knew back then was, I get it all the time from every single person I know.

In fact my husband, (then friend/boyfriend) told me the same thing.

"You would make a great mother. Your future children are going to be very lucky to have a mother like you," he would say.

Back then, I didn't even know that he would be the father! ;)

Sometimes, I was perplexed by the comments. What exactly do these people mean?

I mean, I looked young just like the rest of the girls my age. I definitely dress young, not matronly!

Then, how come I kept on receiving comments that I look motherly?

My bestie Rozie, as I fondly call her, then, shed some light on this mystery.

"People say that to you a lot because you have a certain gentleness about you. A warm concern. A soft touch. That's motherly," she said to me one day.

I understood what they meant then.

This journey to motherhood has been nothing short of beautiful and I want to share it with the whole world, through my experience and my way of raising up my child.

This blog is dedicated to my firstborn, my love, Swetha Suresh Kumar, born on 11 Dec 2016, at 12.42 am.

Ada suara kecil dalam diri saya yang berbisik, private hospital lagi bagus dengan kemudahan yang lebih canggih. Tetapi apabila mendapat tahu jika berlaku sebarang kecemasan yang serius ketika bersalin, private hospital pun akan merujuk kes terbabit kepada hospital kerajaan, saya akur dengan keputusan suami. Bukan sahaja itu, sebagai seorang isteri solehah, saya terpaksa mendengar cakap suami saya dan kini saya rasa keputusan yang dibuatnya adalah amat tepat sekali. Saya disahkan mengandung dengan anak sulung saya pada bulan March 2016. Dua bulan selepas itu, saya mendaftarkan diri saya ke Klinik Ibu dan Anak Kampung Cheras Baru untuk mendapatkan ‘buku pink’ yang wajib didapatkan oleh semua ibu mengandung. Sebulan selepas itu, saya disuruh minum air gula sebagai ujian untuk menentukan sekiranya saya menghidapi gestational diab...

Autumnz 2-in-1 Baby Food Processor

Ever since I had a baby, I was eagerly waiting for her to start eating solid food. I was too excited to feed her nutritious food because I wanted her to try every healthy food options that a baby can take.  As babies her age should only be fed with finely pureed food, I was on the lookout for the perfect food processor that would be easy to handle and delivers good result. I started surveying for the best baby blenders and among the blenders that caught my eye in the numerous baby fairs that I always end up in, was the Autumnz 2-in-1 Baby Food Processor. Autumnz 2-in-1 Baby Food Processor instantly attracted me because it has two functions. It can steam and blend. And there is no need for you to wait for the steamed food to cool before blending. Now, how cool is that?  However, I kept my options open and was also checking out other food processors including hand blenders.  This is because I was thinking the Autumnz 2-in-1 Baby Food Processor may...
