On this date about a month ago, Rhian Ameerah this wonderful little girl came into our lives around 4 am. Bringing with her loads of happiness. I have already talked about her birth in one of my previous posts so I will not go back there again. Instead, I will talk more about how her coming into this world has changed a lot of things.
I come from a broken family, my father ended up divorcing my mother when I was 11 years old. Even though I wanted to go live with my mother, I chose not to because at that time I was studying for some very important exams...it might seem cold of me but I had no choice. Instead of worrying about all the drama happening in my family...I chose to focus on my education...I slowly started to drift away from everyone. I guess that was how I coped with the failure of their relationship.
A year later my father remarried and ever since then things slowly started to change. He wasn't the same person I knew him to be. Things started becoming more and more awkward at home, the usual care and emotional support I used to get was no longer available. I never became a rebellious person though, I still continued focusing on my studies because what I believed in was the fact that "knowledge is power".
Around that time I thought to myself that I would never marry...it wouldn't be wise to bring a child into this world where everything is cruel...because I started to see the world from a very different angle but that all changed about a month ago when my daughter was born. The first thoughts that ran through my head were....Oh, she is so beautiful...she will grow up wonderfully and see all the good things in life.
I am unable to spend a lot of time with her every day because I have to work as much as possible in order to make enough money to support my family. But whatever time I get...I would spend either by carrying her or lying on the bed and watching her. Sometimes I would do that for a long while until I fall asleep.
This whole month has given me a new perspective on family and even though I have had some bad things happen to me...I know I can climb out and be able to provide for her because her smiles which you will see...go straight to the soul, calming it in the process. I know for a fact now that she will have a different kind of life than I have lived because I will make it happen regardless of the circumstances. She will have both her loving parents doting on her at all times. Even if I have to work two jobs a day, I won't mind because her smiles will make all the tiredness go away.
I have also seen my wife always taking good care of her and always excited to snap any picture that she can while awake or asleep. Sometimes she would stand near the crib for a very long time holding the camera waiting for a smile or a cute pose. That fills me up more than anything else in the world with happiness. We made a wonderful child :) So without further ado...I will present you with some of the latest baby pictures :)

Congratulations on the birth of your daughter! Nearly 9 months ago, I experienced the joy of rediscovering life through the perspective of becoming a parent. It is a beautiful life and there is much to look forward to from here onwards. I didn't know what it meant to love someone so deeply and so unconditionally until I met my daughter and I surprise myself everyday when I am able to smile and laugh despite some of the daily challenges of raising her. Enjoy every minute of it and be happy that your wife takes many photos. I have almost forgotten much of her newborn look and sounds and the only way for me to remember now is through the photos. I also hope that you take some beautiful photos of your wife and baby together so that your daughter will have many pictures to look back on when she grows up.
Thank you very much. I do that too whenever we have the time to take pictures of all of us together as well as with each of us. :)
First at all congrats ;) That was really wise post and I'm happy for you and your family. Our parents sometimes made misteakes but we don't need to follow the pattern we can learn out of it and make it better. Good luck my friend! Upped
Thank you mate and that is true, we have the capability to learn so we should and try our best to not repeat the post.
You have a gorgeous little girl, my friend. Spend as much time as you can with her because she will grow up fast. I am sure all your hard work is worth when you come back home to a such a great smile. :)
I think parenting is not about being wise so much as more of be willing to LEARN. Plus doing everything you can for your children to have a safe and happy life like you are doing. :)
Have a great day. :)
Thank you mate. I will do my best to do all those things :)
I have no doubt you will brother. :)
Awwww! That is precious!
I am so glad that you are able to give your new daughter a life much different from your own and that her existence fulfills you! I can feel all that love pouring out in your words.
Congratulations to you and your new family! <3
Thank you @stitchybitch very much, I will be doing my utmost best to not repeat the same past.
