15 Marbles

Moments.Musings.Memories. ❤️Gathering little marbles from ordinary days and keeping them for our memory jar. ❤️

  • Sooo,I didn’t want to just disappear…but the crazy universe conspired and I had to stay away from you lovelies..:(
    After this day,I spent every alternate day in bed or at the Dr.’s office or the hospital.To add to it,my laptop crashed..yet again!
    So,I will spare you the gory medical details..except one..that is a torn abdominal muscle,which I JUST CANNOT FORGET OR IGNORE..coz it hurts sooo bloody much…when I cough,walk,get up,lie down..pretty much all the time..So,you see,I can’t not talk about it!LOL! And before you ask..no there is not much I can do about it..It will heal itself a few weeks after delivery..so yayy!
    Ohh and now that you have sent some love and hugs my way,let me give you a reason to go Awww..:) We got to see the baby again 🙂 last Saturday.We even got a profile picture of Babykins and I think S/he looks like SD.. and he thinks S/he looks like me..:) But Babushka doesn’t care.. according to her,Babykins looks just like HER!LOL! The Ultrasound tech told us that the baby has a head full of hair! When Babs was born,everyone in the hospital,couldn’t stop gushing over her hair..:D And both SD and I love babies born with a full head 🙂 Lets see how accurate the ultrasound is.
    Thanks to the multiple complications going on,currently,I need to go for weekly monitoring,which is actually quite reassuring..and hopefully,next week,when I see the OB,we’ll have a date for my scheduled C-sec..:)
    If you are still reading,I think,I should ask you,how have you been? Please tell me,you have had a more exciting time than I did:)

  • Gosh! I just realised that June is here,we are in the second week and I haven’t written a single post so far!
    Yesterday was SD’s birthday and though I want to write about his special celebrations,I think,I will share this post from my old blog today:)

    As I was re-reading my post about A’s 2 month update..I realised that in all my excitement,it has turned out to be just a mommy-brag ..So, this one’s for you ,darling hubby.
    A is one smart cookie,she already knows who’s on her side.She has DH nicely twirled around her little finger. She just has to pout once and she gets lifted out of the crib.She already knows that the tall one , is the one who will do anything to keep her from crying. She spends all day with me.. but come evening and DH comes home and then she changes loyalties..Then,its like the father-daughter team has to make up for all the time lost. She behaves herself and takes all her naps in her crib but at bedtime when DH is home, she just wont sleep there.The moment we put her in her crib, she start whining..I pat her, whining stops, then starts again.DH comes rushing.. and then starts the crying.. she looks at him with those puppy eyes!!! My GOD!! I think..she already knows how to make her papa dance to her tune! He scoops her out of the crib and she sleeps on our bed..She loves cuddling up with her Papa and sleeping in his arms. She literally turns herself towards him like a sunflower towards the sun and snuggles up closer for warmth. One weekend,I was cooking and they were both playing. By the time I finished cooking, they were both fast asleep..A cuddled up next to her dad, one tiny fist and one chubby thigh resting on his chest . Awww they looked adorable.
    DH is such an involved dad..right from the moment A was born. He was the one to watch her when she got her first bath, the one who held her when she got her first shot, the one who changed her first diaper and gave her her first bottle. I am sure the first few hours of her life, A was sure he was her MOM!He was on a conference call, this morning when A got her shot. He felt so bad that he wasn’t there to hold her.as soon as he finished, he came and hugged her!Asked me 10,000 questions about how I held her,did I hold her close enough,if she cried too much, how many shots.. etc etc etc..
    He still wakes up with me every night.I have to force him to go back to sleep. The poor guy is on medication now and that makes him so drowsy , but still even the slightest whine from A and he is up.For a guy who hates shopping, he spends hours in baby stores, deciding what to buy and ends up buying everything that he was choosing from!
    Its just so wonderful watching him with A..I feel truly blessed to have this beautiful family.A is really lucky to have him as her dad.I know she is going to grow up to be daddy’s girl 🙂

  • And I am sooo soo excited!!
    Today,after Babushka woke up from her nap,she was sitting in my lap! Ohh Look! I made a rhyme!!LOL!
    And just before,she climbed up,Babykins had jammed her hand or leg at an angle and somehow I knew that he/she is going to kick now.. OMG! I must have just finished the thought and came a solid kick-from my tummy to Babs!!
    Babs opened her eyes and frowned,I told her it was the baby.. and a smile lit up her face-just as I knew,it would!
    I loved,loved the moment.. and the fact that I knew,what both my babies were going to do at the very moment-I can’t even put it in words,how that made me feel!!

  • Can be summed up as-
    *Running from one Dr. appointment to another.
    *Waiting endless at each appointment..Thankfully every single of those Doctors was running late!
    And lusting after these-





    LOL!! this is what sitting endlessly in the doctor’s office,reading gossip magazines does to you..:)
