Sharing with a stranger!!!

Its so weird that sometimes it is so easy to confide feelings and problems in a total stranger than discussing it with someone you know. With a stranger I hardly have to worry about being judged or the chances of word getting out or even my reputation getting tarnished.

While chatting with a stranger I never have to worry about how anything I say might affect them because they don't know me and I don't know them. Also this person is not part of my day to day life so I don't have to worry about someone reminding me of the issue and its consequences. There is a good chance that this discussion might find a great solution to the problem on hand, something I might have missed or something I might not have thought about, as this person would listen to what the problem is rather than think about how it will affect them.

I can confide my most embarrassing incident of life and don't have to worry about what this person might think about me or how this might affect the relationship between us, as I have very less invested in this relationship or worry about others finding this out. If this person does not react in a way you expected, it is very easy to break off and find another person to talk to!!!

There are no strangers here; Only friends you haven't met (William Butler Yeats). So who knows this stranger might become the "friend you haven't met" with great advices, just like in "You've got mail" and "Mitr - My friend"!!! :) :) Everyone should have such stranger as friends in life with whom they can share anything and everything without any worries.

Couple of my favorite quotes!!!

My baby is 6 Months old!!!

I cannot believe my baby is already 6 months old!! It only seems like yesterday he was born. Wow time flies by so fast when you have a little one to take care of.

All those early days when my mom used to teach me how to hold him, change him, feed him, burp him and bath him, times when he used to only sleep, feed and poop (all the time) they all still feel like a dream.

He is growing up so quickly. All those cute little outfits which used to fit him 3 weeks ago no longer fits him!! My kiddy who used to sleep all day long, now hardly sleeps during the day. His night sleeping pattern hasn't changed much. He has started to move around (almost crawling), sit up all by himself, smile when he sees familiar faces, laugh out loud, eating solid food (3 times a day), gets all excited when his father comes home, he babbles and makes all those cute baby noises and many other sweet little things.

I wish I could slow time down just a little bit so that I could enjoy every single moment at the fullest. I cannot get enough of him. :) :)

Before I was a MOM!!!

Before I was a Mom -

I slept as late as I wanted and never worried about how late I got into bed. I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep. I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay. I slept all night. I never worried about my eating habit.

I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby. I never held down a screaming child so that doctors could do tests...or give shots. I never thought about immunizations.

I had never been Puked on - Pooped on - Spit on - Chewed on or Peed on. I had complete control of my mind and My thoughts.

I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never felt so calm by a soft touch. I never knew how special it would feel to feed and change a baby. I never knew i could care for someone so much.

I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put it down. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt. 

I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much and change it in a ways I never imagined. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom. I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important. 

I had never known The warmth, The joy, The love, The heartache, The wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom. 

I never knew I was capable of feeling so much before I was a MOM.
