Fatherhood




When a woman is pregnant the world crowd themselves around her with peonies, cupcakes and parental advice. Sadly the real protagonist is left backstage, the FATHER. Today i want to thanks my husband, a father and a man who has fulfilled all his vows. I am glad i can pen them down thanking him hundred times than i could express verbally. 

In my early trimester he would rather drive with me to the clinic for monthly check up than sending me alone in Uber. He talked with his best mates regarding the right hospital, for the baby and for me(he was worried about my well being too). Sometimes i find him hiding all the hospital bills keeping me away from financial stress. Thank you for being with right from the start.

The last three trimester was the worst. Worrying over my eating habit and my growing weight he would stock up loads of home made meals making sure i do not have to cook. While i used to sleep early he will do the dishes at night. I wanted to return all these favor but with my cranky hormones running wild inside me, i would end up fighting for no cause. I would cry and make him feel worse. He grew tired of me but would not give up on me. 
Thank you for coping up with me and making me feel special every day. 

Month 7, i was nearing the due date when a bad omen struck us. I start bleeding. Where i was more confused about what was happening Ani panicked the most. I was rushed to hospital immediately and by god's grace everthing inside was safe. I was admitted for a week to be scrutinized by the doctor regarding the fetus well being. Ani made sure i was not alone at night and slept throughout the week on the corner bed. 
Thank you again for never complaining and still waking up every morning to greet me with a fresh smile. 

Month 9, my water broke. With him throughout the labor, gave me utmost strength and the will to endure every pain. He cut the umbilical cord promising to fulfill the new role, 'a perfect father'. 
Again i do not remember when did he sleep while i was served my fave dish and flavored yogurt post delivery. The next day i wake up realising he looked after the baby whole night and had to order Mc. Donald burger for his dinner. 

I can not thank you enough but I am sure today you are the best thing that happened to me. 













To all the gorgeous mommies, do not forget to congratulate the man behind the scene. Do make him feel proud for standing next to you for he has equal share in carrying the baby too.
