Dear baby,

Today is Janmashtmi...............and I am just thinking of you only.....when you will be with I know it will be more fun especially on this day..............then you will be our little Krishna....we will dress up you the same.........:-)

Milestones....Halfway :-)

Yeah ..I am already halfway and it deserves a post at least. These 20 weeks have been full of ups and downs in my life.There was a lot of stress at work. Also so many things going on at personal front.And I spent most of my time thinking about those things. There were times when I felt that I am doing injustice to the baby by not thinking about her/him as often as I should.

On top of that I had nausea at times , especially in the evenings and lots of acidity and gas. And I couldn’t manage to get a good cook when we needed her most. Of course together we managed the cooking somehow.

All this left little time for us to really realize that I am expecting and so time passed pretty fast. The baby however decided to tell mumma about her/his existence in 16th week , earlier than mumma thought. May be because mumma used to keep forgetting about her.

Since then she gives me a knock off and on whenever she wants attention. Since then mumma has decided to dedicate some of her time thinking about the little one.And this blog happened finally ....thanks baby!!!

Just planning to do little bit basic shopping for you baby... really excited for this. Tomorrow my next scan is due.
It will be a 4D scan as Dr. said I can clearly watch my baby moving and much more.

Mumma-Papa both excited for this.:-)

I have registered on baby centre.com both email and mobile as well. And really got a lovely update….

"You're halfway there. Hooray! The first trimester is over, the second is well under way, and you've probably got your energy back. Celebrate by splurging on a pedicure, a prenatal massage, or a new outfit that shows off your baby bump. Now's also the time to hang out with friends, go on a baby moon, and live it up before the baby arrives about 20 weeks from now."

Yes everythibng lined up and especially baby moon in also on cards....sep first week we are planning for BM.....Let's hope for the best.

So long , so good ..keeping my fingers crossed.

Why This Blog....

Our Grannys and mommys stiched and knitted for their little ones during pregnany, to express their love , excitement and desperation.We being working , did not have that amount of time , but had the same feelings.

Here is the little I did..

Something that was troubling me how to share my feelings of being pregnant,my feelings ,emotions all I want to share with my child.

At first I thought of a physical scrap book , taking prints and pasting them , but then I realized that it would need more of time and effort and I am likely to drop that off once I loose the initial enthusiasm.

And I also want to preserve baby pictutres(all possible moments) , videos and activities , so that he/she can enjoy them as he/she grows up. Yeah ..we have a digi cam and we can burn CDs and keep. But a thousand pictures in one CD and GOD knows how many CDs..who will have the time to see them all, 10 years down the line.We can once in a blue moon , sit back and see a few CDs..but how about a few special pics and videos at one place and you can see him/her growing at a glance.

So here I am . an online scrapbook.It will be about my experiences during pregnancy and after.

Let me see if I live up to it ;-)

A Letter to My Unborn Child..

This I found on net and found it worth sharing ........soon I will share My own letter :-)

I write this letter to my unborn child from the depths of my soul.
You've entered my womb and made my life complete and whole.
I never thought I would be chosen for such an awesome task.
It is a greater blessing than what I ever could ask.
I can almost imagine you in my mind.
Beautiful, Happy, Bouncing, flashing a smile so kind.
Feeling you flutter is a sensation like no other.
It does wonders for the joy of this soon-to-be-mother!
You create a glow in me I never knew I would see.
It is true happiness that sets me on cloud nine manifested deep inside of me!
You're my baby, my child, my heart, and my wonder.
I pray we create a bond that no one can put asunder.
You're a designers' original! A creation from the King!
I can hardly wait for you to enter the world and see the joy you bring.
Sweet baby of mine, you're a magnificent gift from above.
Living proof of how your father and I have shared our love.
I hope you have your fathers' eyes
Then you will go into the world able to look at all things wise.
I hope you inherit my ability to plan.
With that you will be able to face all things in life as a strong woman or man.
I hope you receive from your father his selfless ways.
For this the Heavenly Father will bless you, as he did him, all of your days.
I hope you learn from me, spirit and let no one take it.
Believe me you will need it in life, and many will try to break it.
But with that spirit you must have your father's center.
With that you will be cautious of any door you enter.
I want you to have my curiosity.
There's nothing wrong with questions you may blurt!
But receive your fathers' discernment,
so you'll know when to let go before getting hurt.
Have my big heart; know what emotions are and how to be real.
Share your fathers' strength so you can handle what you feel.
Share my sense of humor! Laugh a lot it helps you through life.
Share your fathers' sense of duty. Know how to be serious and take strife.
I'm emotional so I tell you its okay to blubber once and a while like your Mom.
But learn to develop what your father has; an excellent sense of calm.
But most of all the things I wish for your father and I to share.
I wish we teach you to love, respect, strength of mind, and to care.
These are my feelings, wishes and hopes for you.
You make my heart and soul sing!
I welcome you to the world and thank you for the joy,
my little Queen or King.

They Love Me...

I do not know why I am writing this today. Today is no mother’s day or father’s day nor its their birthday. Nothing special happened today. Its just one of my usual working days.

Still suddenly I found myself thinking of those eyes. Eyes of my mom , when she saw me in my wedding attire. She held my cheeks and said that I look beautiful. But her eyes said much more. My mother , who never expresses her emotions in words. We have never heard her saying that she loves us or that she is worried about us. We have seen her like this forever and so we don’t really mind it. But that day , I saw a pair of eyes full of emotions , happiness and satisfaction.

Also that day I noticed someone who looked more beautiful than the bride. Yeah , my mom. She looked really pretty at my wedding. She got lots of compliments too. She attributed it to her makeup and hair do. Since she never goes to parlour , she said that the change made her look different and pretty. I don’t agree , she looked beautiful for she was happy, may be happier than the bride. And on my sis wedding as well…she was looking stunning. Although she doesn’t take more than 15-20 mins. And I went parlor….still she was looking best…again best than the bride. Same my sis felt.

Thinking about those eyes , I also remembered about a man , who told me that he is blessed that he has a daughter like me and like my sis. He always appreciate always says he feels proud of me.I just could not believe my ears. I have given him enough troubles. I would have disowned a daughter like myself perhaps , I thought. Still this man says he is blessed ??

What did God make parents off ? Will I be so giving/forgiving ever ? Can I be a good parent ?

The Pregnancy Diary 3

• The day I completed 3 months

The initial 3 months (which make up the first trimester) are considered the risky phase where anything might happen. Hence there was relief then the hurdle was crossed and sort of a "mission accomplished" joy (though obviously there was a long way to go still :-p). Also the first trimester is when a woman gets most of the morning-sickness/nausea and luckily I didn't have anything. Nothing at all :-D.

Infact after completion of 3 months I got nausea at times and few other minor problems….which is just part of this phase. I realized if I will accept it I will be happy….So now all changes happening on daily basis I have accepted as no choice ;-)…no cribbing…at times I got irritated but it’s ok….Thanks god I am still working it keeps me busy.

Meanwhile, I was subjected to more tests, Blood test and all and checking it for everything from the RH-factor to HIV. Needless to say, everything was normal :). Thank god for that!!!

And the best updates I got ....it was like this

"By the end of this month your baby will be recognizable as a human. The face is formed, complete with 32 permanent teeth buds. There are even nails at the end of the fingers and toes. Cartilage bones are forming rapidly, and the muscles have already begun to be laid down. Your baby will even move as the brain, nerves and muscles begin to function. However, baby's small size makes his movements undetectable.

Your baby has a sucking reflex already in place, and may suck on his thumb or fist. He is also practicing swallowing the amniotic fluid, and at this point is able to excrete it as urine.At the end of the twelfth week your baby will be around 3.5 inches long and weigh 1.7 oz."

So now I am a HAPPY TO BE MOM...
