Last few days of this dreaded year 2016!

And here I am back again.. waiting for this dreaded year to get over!
How should I sum up this year? maybe a mix of joy and frustration? Can't tell much!
Let's start with the good things that happened to me this year-
1) My parents came to the US for the first time.
2) I became a mother or a beautiful boy.
3) My husband moved to my city and finally we started living together.

Now, what could be the bad things?

Namesake?

Ever since I knew that I can give birth to a baby.. I thought that I would do this and that.. I would name the baby.. Guess what, once everyone knows that you are expecting... everyone becomes a name expert.. Everyone starts suggesting names.. including your husband.. and the names you thought of and held close to your heart for so long are just crushed like fallen old leaves in Fall..
You become just a baby carrier.. Everyone around you starts suggesting you to do this, that..
Your husband burdens you with his choice of things, names... Your parents, Your in laws.. Your friends.. What happens next?

You lose interest in participating in anything related to baby.. You just don't want to.. because you know no one will try to understand your emotions.. No one... So, you feel that its better to keep them to yourself.. You become numb to everything happening around you and just refrain from participating because you want to protect your own sanity and peace of mind..
