Baby's day out...
Sunday, September 16, 2007 by hope
No.. its not about the old movie.. Its the latest release.. :P
Friday eve i was talking to the wife of my only friend(old & dearest) in bangalore.. and after talking i felt as she is suffering from postnatal depression.. as her baby is only four months old.. and most of the time she is busy in nurturing him.. no time for other things in life.. so as a dearest and generous friend i asked my friend to go on date with his wife and said that i'll take care of the baby.. and they both agreed happily..
Sunday morning i called up my maid early.. asked her to clean the floor nicely.. tapped all electric outlets at the ground level.. spread a matress on floor with lots of cussions.. and i was all set to welcome my little guest.. they came around 10 O'clock.. baby was sleeping.. and mom gave me a few instructions about feeding and diaper change and this and that... and i assured them not to worry and enjoy.. and they left..
The little angel was sleeping quietly so i took a deep breath and grabbed a book to read.. hardly half hour past he woke up and started crying.. i picked him up.. tried to pacify him by little swinging in arms and cooing.. but the volume increased with each second.. then i thought to change diaper.. but still crying.. dad said feed him little milk may be hungry.. but his mom instructed not to give anything for hour or so.. i thought for five minutes but then gave him 3 oz of milk.. he finished that fast and looked at me ..aah!! what a relief.. i smiled and kissed his hand.. put him on matress dad suggested.. i did.. and here he goes.. he was moving his hands and legs ..looking at something on ceiling.. making sounds.. giggling wow.. it was fun to watch .. i was trying to talk to him but he was busy in himself..
But the show didnt go for more than 20 minutes.. now again he was crying and i was thinking what to do next.. lets change diaper one more time i thought.. oh ye.. it was soiled.. hmmm.. feeling fresh.. and he smiled.. oho.. i smiled too.. (i'll do anything just dont cry plz.. i murmured) ..and the next second he was back to his fav job... CRYING.. now i got puzzled.. whats wrong with him.. i looked at dad.. he said he pooped so may be hungry again.. ok.. so this time i made his baby cereal and he was enjoying eating.. sitting on my lap.. was crying in between ..may be coz as a fresher in this field i was feeding him too slow and too little at a time.. suddenly he foooooo.. and everything from his mouth was on my top.. ohh!! you baby... so this the way to say iam done.. lol.. mamma didnt teach you any table manners :P We cleaned up everything.. including myself and him..
Now he was playing again.. and a call from mamma dearest.. yes yes.. we are doing great.. no worries i said.. and looked at baby dear who was staring me.. must be saying just wait and watch.. :P he was playing with his rattle suddenly he dropped that on floor.. and his eyes were closed.. poor chap.. crying and all made him tired.. he was looking so calm and cute.. aah!! lets do some work i thought.. but as soon as i stood up he started crying.. so i decided to lie down beside him so that he can take a nap.. to be true actually i was enjoying cuddling a baby for the first time *smiles*
So we took a nice nap suddenly i woke up with his crying.. hmmm may be hungry again i thought.. so gave him milk.. but still crying.. then i changed the diaper.. but he kept crying.. i walked around .. tried to swing him.. played music but he didnt stop crying.. may be missing mamma dearest i thought.. he was crying at full volume and my heart was melting.. then i decided to go down for a walk as weather was beautiful.. fortunately it wasnt raining.. and as soon as we went down he was happy.. smiling and looking at sky.. so i kept strolling ..he was enjoying nature lying peacefully in his stroller.. i took 2-3 rounds and then thought lets go back.. but as soon as we entered the building he started crying again... ooooo... and again and again.. same thing.. he was happy outside.. so i kept strolling for two hours :( Finally he slept and i came up..
And after sometime my friend dearest came.. with a smile.. they asked jyada tang to nahi kiya... and i was like na zara bhi nahi :D and he asked what you had in lunch... LUNCH... i looked at dad... (OMG i forgot to make lunch) .. so we can go out again next sunday... NEXT.. ok may be next to next.. and we laughed.. yes, sure you can... afterall practice will make the gal perfect.. hai na.. *smiles*
Song of the moment.. Bachche mann ke sachche.. sare jag ki aankh ke tare..

Oh Wow!! This was such a beautiful, cute, lovely and cuddly post. I loveeeeeeeeee kids. This post so reminds me of my nephew, who I would take out in the balcony and sing lullaby till he would sleep looking at the chanda mama. But when he would sleep, I would feel like waking him up and playing again.
Sometimes I would keep him on the bed and while he was trying to sleep do thap thapiyan on his back and then would fall asleep myself...
Bahut achaa laga padh ke yeh post, very very well written, it was as if I was there seeing you trying to handle the baby while he keeps crying and crying and....ummm...crying...he he :D
very cute, u are really brave to take courage of taking care of so small baby and that too with perfectness, hats off :)
