That’s why we are called” Super Women”!!!!!!!!

It’s been a while since I have written anything about us, “women”. I make sure to bring our kids first. I thought this is the perfect time to share few mommy feelings and to realize that every woman is a super woman.

I still remember how excited I was to join back work after Anika was born. I thought, “Anika should be proud of her super mommy who works at home and works in the office”. Well, I did go back to work too. I was definitely a super mommy juggling between home and work. I’m sure every working mommy is gifted with so much energy, patience, strength and to mention a mother can go about her daily tasks even after she has been up all night looking after her little one...that is the power of a mother. When I was working, I wanted to stay back at home. Now that I am at home, I want to go back to work. Life is a roller coaster and most of us can never be happy with what we have.

I still remember before starting my maternity leave people did come and ask me, “Are you really going to come back??” I wondered why people would come up to me and ask me this all the time.

Finally after a big wait of 9 months, when I held her in my arms, “I got all my answers”. Women don’t become super mommies the minute they give birth to a child. As the child grows, women grow along with them and transform themselves into a super woman.

I read somewhere that during child birth a million nerves break and that is the quantum of pain a woman undergoes to bring her child into this world. After all that pain, a mother still waits to see her baby smile. Nothing in the world matters to her apart from her child. Those little fingers, lovely eyes, innocent smile or those tiny legs. There’s no other feeling in this world which can even come close to the feeling of holding your child for the first time after he/she is born.

For a mother, no matter how hungry she might be or how tired, the needs of her child always come first. That is the instinct of a mother...her baby is her greatest treasure and the sole source of all her strength. You don’t mind if you are tired or not too well. You can still bring in that energy to see your baby smile. It’s not the expensive clothes, costly bags or a trendy haircut. Life suddenly changes. It’s all about your baby now. You wouldn't mind going as far as you can to keep your little one happy because you know you want to give only the best to your child. It could be a tee or a pair of shorts that you want buy for your child, you think a hundred times. If you have to choose a school, you look up information on the internet or do a quick research. It could be anything even as small as a toy that you want to buy for your child. We as mothers want to give them the best.  I think end of the day every mother thanks god for giving them such a precious gift. I must have read this a million times and it never ceases to amaze me –quote by Jodi Picoult, “Sometimes when you pick up your child you can feel the map of your own bones beneath your hands, or smell the scent of your skin in the nape of his neck. This is the most extraordinary thing about motherhood - finding a piece of yourself separate and apart that all the same you could not live without.”

The journey of a woman's life is vibrant and colorful and it is a discovery in itself. We can be daddy's little girl or mommy's pet, and the better half to a doting husband - yet the one role which gives a wholesome definition to our lives is that of a mother.

A woman can juggle a million tasks and can function on auto pilot even when she is sick if it comes to her child and family. That is the power of a woman.....and this is why she is a "Super Woman."
