I used to HATE babies/kids. They're noisy, attention seeking, helpless, annoying ugly little creatures. Let the devil take them !
Until...
I saw 2 visibly obvious lines on a pregnancy test kit.
I remember I was sitting on the toilet bowl, all blank out. Questions started to pop in my mind. Can I take care of him/her ? Do I even know how to be a parent ?
My first time having a ultrasound, which means it's my first time seeing my child.
I smiled.
I was very overwhelmed . I was happy. Thus, my love towards babies begin.
I have ZERO experience when it comes to handling babies. I take lots of pride when it comes to the upbringing of my son mainly because I was 21 and I had ZERO help.
Just look at that drumstick !
Who would knew a newbie mom like me can bring up a baby so well 😆
P/S: Not only do I not have any help, I do received lots of headache as well 😑
Eg: It took me 1 hour to make my boy sleep and it takes a person less than a min to wake him up just to play with him and walk away after that. Then I have to spare another hour, or HOURS to make him sleep.
Tummy time without anyone teaching me 😄
I taught him how to walk
Thanks to my boy, I've learnt to be independent and motivated.
And not forgetting to mention, there are times where I feel I'm a 'baby whisperer'. 😆
There was an incident where my colleague brought his newborn son to work and he was all cranky, I offered to help and of course, the baby slept soundly on my arms.
FINE ! I'LL ADMIT IT !
I OFFER TO LEND A HAND BECAUSE I MISS DEALING WITH NEWBORNS 😍 They're just the cutest living thing in the world !
I enjoy shopping for baby clothes, I love preparing meals every single day, I love teaching new stuff and last of all...
I LOVE IT WHEN MY BOY GIVES ME A VERY CHEEKY SMILE 😍
Nice story you wrote here. Me too, I have the fear of having kids with the question - the world is a mess with a lot of harsh expectations, social problems, would they able to keep up?, am I able to provide what they need? , am I'm going to be a good mother?. All these questions pop up when I think of getting kids on my own in the future. But I think I will go down the journey same as yours...:)

I got my fair share of cruel expectation especially when it comes to becoming a mom at 21 ;) Plus I have to deal with pregnant hormones.
