Current Mood: Relieved
It was last year when I made an important decision in my life. I decided to marry Bil and start a family with him. I let go of other things and focused my energy on this goal. I believe this is the decision that supports my highest values, and will make me the happiest both now and in the future. I feel that more fulfillment and joy await me.
Being 22 weeks pregnant, I still don’t know how it feels to be a mom. Probably I don’t spend much time thinking over or imagining what it’s like. But I am sure that this little life inside me will change my life and give me joy in ways I could never imagine!
Responsible parenthood seems to be the most challenging word for me nowadays! While I admit the fact that there is no school that offers a course on effective parenting, no formal trainings are provided to prepare parents to be before they assume such great responsibility, I am still confident that with an open heart and mind, one can measure up to the challenge.
I may have a little background on this – being a psychology grad, having practiced the profession for a number of years in the school setting, having attended varied seminars on parenting, having read books, and most importantly, being a witness of the ways my own parents reared me. These are not enough but I am taking my time, savoring the days as it unfolds inch by inch the multifaceted world of parenthood.
