🤰You came late my sweetheart but it all happened at the right time

😀😀Krishiv’s birth too has an interesting story behind it.

🙏🏻Krishiv was born after 8 years of marriage. Much later than we actually thought. There were no issues ( medical or other) but it just kept on lingering.
During early years of marriage,we both were beginners in our careers so we wanted to settle down first.
🙊Till 3-4 years , both side families too kept quiet. They understood our concern of getting mentally & financially prepared to welcome the new member. But once it crossed 5 years , pressure from both sides started to pour in. It was immense.
I wasn't ready as I was doing extremely well in my career. By 6 years I was like even better. By 7 years I was at the peak of my career and was to be promoted as the HOD of HR Department in my company.
🙏🏻It wasn't like I did not want to be on the family way, it was just that things were not falling into place. We were so so busy in our jobs that we hardly found any time to even discuss about it. But somewhere at the back of my mind I knew we were late. I was 32 and Ankush 33. My mom and inlaws were after our lives. Relatives would ask from them and sometimes direct - ” Sab theek hai na, kuchh problem to nahi” -- phew how much I hate this societal pressure.

😃Then again something unexpected happened in my life as always.
Just few months before taking up the new role, I conceived ( yes planned)

🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️Suddenly what transformed me from an ambitious woman to a lady ready to embrace motherhood and give up on my career goals?
🤪And this feeling imbibed was so intense that I was suddenly ready to sacrifice everything just to become a mother.

💕The story behind -
It was in Jan 2015, few of my relatives shifted to Delhi and till the time they could move in, they stayed with us. There was a little super cute 2 year old munchkin with them, who, I must say was an extraordinarily gifted child. At 2 he danced like Michael Jackson, sang songs like arijit singh, knew N no. Of bhajans and aartis by heart. And what not. Such an adorable child just stole my heart. The kind of affection he showered on every one was priceless. His activities and wordings used to take my breath away. 👩‍👧‍👦👩‍👧‍👦His name is Parth. I saw myself changing. Longing for a child for the first time. How much I wanted to have a child like Parth now. Suddenly I started dreaming of it unlike the hiring strategies I used to dream of earlier. Parth stayed with us for 4 months and I was completely transformed.
💑💑I told hubby I desperately wanted to have a child. I conceived in Sep 2015 and my bundle of joy arrived in June :)

✅✅✅Here I want to share an important point ( learning ) . Our thoughts and feelings play an important role in determining our fate. You will be surprised to know my son Krishiv is Parth’s replica - looks similar and behaves in similar manner. Is as adorable and intelligent like Parth. Can't thank God enough for this.
✅✅✅In other words, what I thought and prayed during conception and pregnancy, I got it. So our thoughts play an important role. So I request all my expecting mom friends to stay positive and be optimistic thru out the journey.

😍😍Today I am a SAHM (work part time as per my convenience) and proud of it. Krishiv has made me complete. Yes I miss my happening life sometimes but this sacrifice is all worth. Everything else can wait - I live with this truth !

P.s in the dp - on left side is Parth when 2 and on the right is Krishiv at about to turn 2 ( similar na?)

Pls pour in your comments moms ,would love to hear from you:)

Love :)
