+ it's true how they say your heart now lives outside of you. i literally feel it, that my heart has departed my body and gone over to live in someone else's. and it's amazing that i would never think of wanting it back ever.
+ i've become a hoarder. all the baby clothes that belong to him, i could never bear to throw a piece away, no matter how worn they have become. the tiny fabrics weaved my memories of him and helped me keep him warm from the moment he was little.
+ i can never bear to read reports or see pictures of atrocities done to children, infants or foetuses. never. ever.
+ i would rather buy kids' stuff than shop for myself. so it's a no-brainer which shops i'd head for nowadays - either children's stores or the supermart to get groceries for the children meals.
+ an undisturbed full night rest is gone with the wind. and i even find myself waking up earlier just so that i can prepare my stuff before-hand and get all ready for the kid when he rouses.
+ my lifestyle follows my boy's. no tv, early nights, healthy munch, kids' songs, kids' talk..
so that's how i am doing now... now, have some life events changed you too?
“Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.” ~ Elizabeth Stone
