"Motherhood makes you feel complete"- Smita Bansal

Did you want a baby girl or a boy?

I just wanted a healthy baby.

How did you feel when you first held your baby in your arms?

I was sedated after my Caesarean delivery. Nevertheless when the nurse got me the baby it was an overwhelming feeling. Being a mother is a fantastic and inexplicable experience. Motherhood makes you feel complete. 

Have you named her?

We haven't yet zeroed down on a name. We are just short listing names.

How is the baby's nursery coming up?

We have done the bed. We have a mosquito net too. We have some toys and rattles.

In which hospital was your baby born? When were you released from the hospital?

My baby was born in Mediheights Hospital. I was released from the hospital on August 23rd.

How is your husband Ankush Mohla embracing fatherhood?

My husband is very excited and happy. He has taken off a few days from work to be with the baby and me.

Does the baby look more like you or your husband?

My relatives think that the baby looks like me. My husband's relatives think that the baby looks like him. 

Your elder daughter must be very excited...

My elder daughter Stasha is the one who is the most excited. She loves to spend time with her baby sister. I am glad that she now has company.

What is your baby's zodiac sign? Will you be doing her horoscope?

My baby daughter was born on 20th August, 2012. She is a Leo. I don't believe in horoscopes. My parents and my husband's parents however believe in horoscopes. They may make my new born baby's horoscope. I however won't take the horoscope seriously.

What is your baby's temperament like?

My baby is just a few days old. She sleeps for 18 to 19 hours in a day. When she is hungry, she gets cranky, like all babies do.
