Confidence lesson starts in the cradle.. My daughter thinks the cradle is rocking because she is taking efforts to do it with her constant hand and leg movements. When the rocking stops she looks concerned and kicks harder and stronger and faster. If the cradle still doesn't move, then she lets out her cry, a very mildly expressive one. Last resort is non stop crying.. I wait for her effort and then rock the cradle, so she believes in her own effort. I guess building confidence starts as early as sixty days!!! At least that is what I think.. I want her to know that all efforts pay off in time.. and I guess this translates as confidence later in life. As with all new moms, am super thrilled and I guess I will write more about my new experience in life..though I look forward to writing variety, I think most of my writing may get centered around my little one.

I have finally managed to gain the energy and strength and time to open this page to write..This is the first post I am writing after we got our little one Prakruti, meaning NATURE . It seems like yesterday when I wrote about the Recent Whys s post, that is on the last leg of my pregnancy journey.. It has been about 40 days now that our world has changed completely.. Our little one seems to be in my dreams, my waking hours.. making my days and nights, challenging my patience and confidence, contributing to my laughter and smiles...keeping everyone in the household on toes... making the item called clock meaningless in the house.. making the word schedule totally pointless... and making everyone fall in line with her decision on when to sleep, feed, and play...and helping us realize that God's watching and is THE ONE who can really do something about anything and everything in our life... I wanted so much to write about my pregnancy journey for the benefit of those who would be...
