Trust the Team

It has been three weeks since my last post and I feel horrible about it as those of you who have been checking in regularly might have already given up on me.  

Even though my last three weeks have been occupied with feeding my angel baby boy for 8-10 hours a day and having him sleep on me for 7-8 hours, my inspiration for this blog has still been growing. Looking back at the time since Kaya joined our household, the biggest change for me is letting others do the work for me; getting my food ready, filling my water bottles, doing laundry, cooking etc...  To be honest, for such a stubborn person who likes doing everything on her own, it was a tough but well needed adjustment. 

A strong and well-communicated team is what brings the winning trophy - either in sports or in life.   If there is an individual contributor in a team setting, the play can never be efficient. Every member of a team had their "super powers" and unless you bring all of these powers together, success doesn't come along.  

I have been lucky to have great teams around me - whether in sports or in life. Most recently, my immediate team has been my  husband and my mom. From delivery of Kaya to now we have definitely been the winning team. "Hi Five"s are well deserved in this household.

FYI, separating a feeding baby from his mom so that the mom can stand up after hours of sitting is a tough job!

Don't forget that a team can be only two people and that's why it is very important to remember the power of Hi Five to promote constant support. The trophy is waiting for us when we trust the super powers of our partners/teammates.
