Little Sacrifices For My Little One

Little Sacrifices For My Little One

These little sacrifices are nothing compared to the big joy my little one brings big time.

Gone are the days of clutching tiny and stylish purse or bag.
Baby David’s feeding bottles and dummies and nappies and wipes and change mat and bibs and extra garments should all fit in a tote!

Gone are the days of movie watching with my husband.
A date night with him and the Dark Knight became a reality. Thanks to my mother-in-law!

Gone are the days of trips to ladies’ loo for parents’ room is the only option.
Shops, toilet and public transport should all be pram friendly!

Gone are the days of splurging for pricey clothes and shoes.
Baby David needs new clothes, new shoes, new stuff - more than I do. He grows fast and goes through clothes really fast.

Gone are the days of long hours at work.
A mother is always excited to rush home and see her bundle of joy.

Gone are the days of long and polished nails.
Gotta leave my baby’s skin unscathed!

Gone are the days of wearing hoops, bling-blings and bangles.
The precious jewels should stay in their ever reliable sanctuary until Baby David no longer sees them as toys.

Gone are the days of not tying my locks up.
What’s with hair that babies like to pull them?

Gone are the days of donning neat and unstained clothes all the time.
Milk spills, spits and possets form google map on my day attire!

Gone are the days of high-heeled stilettos.
With Baby David clinging on to me, running around in heels is a big no-no.

Gone are the days of TV and radio in high volume.
Life’s gonna be full of shhhhh, shhhhh and shhhhh.

Gone are the days of uninterrupted sleep and afternoon naps.
I foresee several years of no good night's sleep.

Gone are the days of going solo.
From the bedroom to the bathroom or kitchen Baby David must always come with me.

Gone are the days of real “sickie”.
The truth is when I am sick I am not sick. But when baby is, I am!

Gone are the days of frequent general cleaning of the house.
Baby David not only fills our home with unrivaled bliss but also fills our rubbish bins round-the-clock!
