Why Being a Mom is So Special
Holding your precious bundle of joy in your arms for the first time is an experience that words cannot do justice to. You have not only pulled off the magic of creating a life but you have also taken up a very special role - that of being a mom.
Being a mom is a challenging, albeit rewarding job. You are faced with difficult situations and tough decisions on a regular basis and this could leave you physically drained and mentally frustrated.But there's no denying you love being a mother! As all moms agree, mothering a child and bringing him up has rewards that you will cherish all your life.
Why Being a Mom Rocks
Someone has rightly said that being a mother is like watching your heart move around outside your body. Let us explore the best part of being a mom:
1. Sharing Special Moments with Your Children
Your child can make the smallest of moments a special one for you. You might be drained after a hard day's work, or might be feeling low due to undue stress in your life.A gentle kiss from your child or a naughty prank played by him is enough to make you forget all your fatigue and stress, and bring a smile on your face. These special moments with your child make motherhood a priceless experience.
2. Watching Them Grow
Your little bundle of joy grows with every passing day. You will be amazed by the changes you see in him as he grows and explores the world around him. You are taken by surprise when he shares his thoughts with you.Sometimes, his innocent yet intelligent questions can leave you stumped. Every passing year reflects more positive changes in your child - an experience that is extremely special for you as a mother.
3. A New Learning Experience
You would be amazed to see how being a mom changes you for the better. You might have been short-tempered and impatient before but your baby teaches you to be gentler and more patient. You might have never noticed small things that can bring you happiness.But now, you learn to enjoy the small wonders of watching the birds peck or smelling a rose. A whole new world unfolds before you as you rediscover the joys of childhood with your little one.
4. Joys of Success
Every little thing done by your kid is a reason to rejoice, be it his first step or his first spoken word, his first victory at a recitation competition or first trophy in a race.Motherhood lets you enjoy every success of your child and makes you want to pat yourself on the back. After all, each milestone your child achieves is testimony to your upbringing and hard work!
5. Unconditional Love
The bond between you and your child is unconditional. The endless hugs, kisses, and loving gestures from your child remind you every day of the love that you share from even before he was born.Even the unsaid words between the two of you speak volumes of your cherished relationship.
Being a mom changes your life completely and yet you love every bit of it. Motherhood can be an immensely fulfilling experience where the reward you get is a big bagful of fond memories to hold close to your heart.Make sure you enjoy these special moments to the fullest before time flies and leaves you astounded!

Shahrukh Khan's Little Son AbRam Has a Unique Play Idea For Daddy!
What games do you play with your children? When we become parents for the first time, we spend countless hours planning amazing games for our kids. Hide and seek, building blocks, nursery rhymes...But the best games often turn out to be the impromptu ones our children cook up on the spot! Shahrukh Khan, proud Daddy to little AbRam, has learnt this from experience. At a recent IPL match, AbRam Khan showed Daddy how to play a cool new game that is not just fun but also beats the summer heat!
Recently, Shahrukh Khan and his youngest son AbRam were in the Eden Gardens stadium to support their team Kolkata Knight Riders. Yes, Kolkata won the match, but the game that ensued in the grounds after the match was even more entertaining!
This game didn't need a bat or a ball, or even a pitch. All it needed was a cooperative Papa, the right timing..and a water bottle! Watch this video to see what we are talking about.
Toddlerhood is said to be the best time to introduce children to sports. They are learning lots of new things at this age, and their muscle coordination and fine motor skills need practise to become stronger. Sports are a brilliant way to spend time and bond with children while also teaching them team spirit. And yes, this works with all the curious games your child may be fond of playing - hiding in the laundry basket and pretending to be Superman included! AbRam, for instance, is already training to be a “mystery fielder”. Papa SRK has a reason for this:
“Because he stands in front, throws in front and the ball goes back."
Erm, while it looks like this little man will need more cricket training, he has surely mastered the art of playing pranks on Daddy! And the soon-to-be-three young man is just so cute that no one is complaining! Read more

Love, Cherish and Share the Joy of Motherhood
Welcome to my first blog “Growing Together”.
The title says it all. Yes I will be walking you through the journey of pregnancy.My blog will be mainly focusing starting from preconception, prenatal care, postnatal care etc.Key Audience – Anyone planning for pregnancy and a to be mom
Lets get started with Preconception.
1. Do Not Google
The first and foremost thing I would say is to avoid googling. This has of course become a part and parcel of our life. Yes indeed it provides good info on various categories from A to Z. But I would prefer not to depend on this when it comes to health. Because every body and soul is different and every child is different. The contents sometimes make us relieved sometimes worried. You will come across bundle of questions related to pregnancy. Do not hesitate, talk to your mother, spouse, friends, doctor and anyone whom you believe can guide you properly.
2. Avoid Junk
I know we are in a busy lifestyle. We keep running so it is indeed difficult to avoid eating outside.I am not saying a complete no no. But minimise it. Develop healthy food habits atleast 2 to 3months before you plan your pregnancy. Make a habit not to eat outside often. It is good for yourself and your partner. Ultimately its for the good of your little one.
3. Fitness
How much ever we try, we do not get time when it comes to exercise right? Got you. It’s a matter of 20-30 mins a day for a healthy you. Exercise is not meant for the one who wants to reduce weight. Its for your good health. So if you make it a practice to exercise prior pregnancy it wont be difficult for you during pregnancy. There are many activities but always walking tops my list. Take up your mobile and ear phones. Listen to 5 or 6 songs and you are done with your 30mins of workout. As simple as that.
4. Weight
Do not be underweight or overweight. I am not insisting on a perfect BMI. No. You can be plumpy here and there with one or two kgs extra no harm. Cheers. Just make sure it is not too much.
5. Ovulation
If you have a regular cycle, then you need not worry about ovulation. Do not worry even if you have irregular cycle. Definitely you are ovulating. For some, the cycle may be once in two months or three months or may not be in a regular pattern. In that case, doctor should be able to guide you. If you have your cycles at 35 or 40 days interval, then do not worry, you are doing good. To help you better, there are different apps. It is not a must, but it reminds you of the dates of possible conception so that you can prepare yourself without any stress. I used Elawoman – Ovulation and Pregnancy Calendar. It was good and did the job. The app is available in Playstore.
6. Enjoy the Intimacy
Once you plan for your pregnancy, the ultimate goal will be that it should get succeeded in this cycle.Fine. But it is not just another task in your to do list. Do not keep overthinking, worried and miss out your romance. When you are approaching your ovulation days, start preparing yourself and your partner. The more you enjoy, the more you feel positive and healthy. Is it necessary to be in contact on all the ovulation days? Need Not.Alternate days should be well enough.
7. Position
The missionary position is the most recommended. Other positions can be too. Missionary might have more possibilities. Have a soft pillow below your butt and once you are done, just stay relaxed with your legs up for few mins. Do not wash your vagina immediately.Stay relaxed and things will happen on its own.I think I have focused on the key points of preconception. You can always post your comments and queries. My next blog will be a continuation and will be taking you through post conception.If you like Growing Together, watch out the space for more.
