  • Yesssssss Aadya’s Baby sister is here!!!
    And we are calling her Ananya 🙂
    Ananya arrived on 23rd July at 4:09PM Local time and weighed 3.9 kgs.
    She was named the Indian Princess in the OT and the maternity ward and everyone who saw her was last seen gushing over her hair.!

  • When you wake up to a cold frosty morning,after having very little sleep all night.. a tired sick child at home and want to eat steaming hot food.. what do you do??
    Well you head out to the nearest food-court..:D
    Because the things we wanted to eat were so diverse,no restaurant would cater to our demands:)
    So,we just bundled up in jackets over our PJs and headed out to the food-court and came back with Fried rice and honey Chicken and Chicken Shawrama *drool*
    Then we set up the table with Ikea kids table-ware..to jazz things up.. and had a nice colorful mother-daughter meal:)
    Happy Mommy- perkier daughter:)

  • Wow!! I can’t believe it,I had my last OB visit today. Last time,we never got to that part..:)
    Today I had all my last maternity appointments- Last monitoring,last OB visit and finally the last Endo visit.The next time I go to the hospital,will be to have the baby..:)
    So 7 days or less 🙂
    And I dunno why,but today of all the days,I saw the nicest OB and the sweetest midwife and both of them,are going to be on call in Maternity,next week..So,they promised to stop by and check 🙂
    I can’t describe this feeling..one of excitement,trepidation,kind of like the day before your major exam..:)
    I have been getting some major contractions since last night..and they were even picked up during monitoring but they weren’t close enough for me to be admitted..So,I was sent home with instructions to check-in..when the contractions get regular!!
    So.. I dunno whether the next post will be me cribbing about being uncomfortable or SD announcing the arrival of Babykins!! For all you know,as my brother and SD have been betting.. I will be online even from the hospital..:) and I might just update the blog from there:P
    So,until next time.. love and hugs to all of u..:)

  • Yesterday,we were on our way back from a random shopping trip and had to stop in the middle of the road to complete our turn. Ours was the second car and the light had already turned Amber..But the car in front didn’t move.So,SD honked to ask the guy to move. He moved ahead and then rolled his window down and put up his finger..SD showed him the finger too…The guy in front turned and started saying something..Now our windows were still rolled up and I cannot read lip-movements to save my life.But the next thing I know is,SD had rolled his window down too and was shouting,”You are the biggest ONE!”
    The Guy in front started his car and then backed up… OK by now,I was freaking out.. SD tried to drive the car from the side..The guy in front,just turned to the left and stopped the car.
    I kept checking the side mirror and at the same time,was yelling at SD,”What were you thinking..What if he had a weapon?Do you even know who he is??” In my defence the area,we were driving through is famous for gun-totting hoods.. Anyway,at the end of my outburst,before SD could open his mouth to say anything,a little voice piped from the back seat,”Mumma, he is the biggest one!!”
    SD burst out laughing..I was still fuming.. I asked him why did you say that.. what if it was someone from the hood.. And SD continued laughing and said,if it was,then he wouldn’t be showering me with choicest curses in Hindi…And then Babushka’s sentence said in all innocence became even more hilarious…Even now when I am writing this post,I have a goofy grin pasted on my face!!!
