Being a mum is joyous and there is this connection with your baby that words cannot describe. Being a premature baby, Nelson was in the hospital for 2.5 months and underwent two major operations during the period. I sometimes wonder how cruel can life be.. this little baby so fragile and yet was constantly poked with needles.
Every day I travelled from Hurstville to Randwick to be with Nelson. I stayed in the hospital from 9am to 7pm 7 days a week for the full 2.5 months. Just seeing him and holding him in my arms makes me happy.
When the doctors announced that he could come up, my heart leapt with joy. Finally I could experience the "real motherhood".. my baby is coming home and in time for my first Mother's Day!!
I must admit the first 2 months was not easy and I vomitted when I first changed his soil nappy. Nelson used to cry every nappy change and I felt helpless. But now.. he couldn't stay still, kicks me and rolls around every nappy change!!
After the 2 months, I finally got the hang of sleepless nights. I now understand when my friends tells me "Its a really enjoyable and joyful experience being a Mum"... before I was thinking how can it be... but now I know.
