  • I can’t believe this time,we havent done any belly shots:(
    We went to see the midwife yesterday.It was a nice change from seeing the GP,all this while.She discussed the option of VBAC and much as I am scared of it…I would like to know more about it.
    As I gave her more of my history,she said,that in all probability I would probably be seeing the OBs and endo through out…which is fine,you know.. Being in an OB’s care is all I have known.. so..lets see.The OB’s appointment is next month-then we’ll know more.
    So far,I am feeling good..the nausea seems to have subsided and I am feeling better..but just tired,most of the times.I am measuring 22 weeks.No surprises there.. thats how it was,with Aadya too..I was always measuring 2-4 weeks ahead.
    My only disappoint from the appointment was that we didn’t get to hear the baby’s heartbeat…:( She didn’t even try..just said, we mostly do it from around 20 weeks..:( But,I did feel a few flutters..so,I guess thats ok.
    Be well,little peanut..:) So many people waiting for you.

  • Babushka decorated my new laptop for me! When I asked her why?She said,”Because I love you,Mommy!!” ..Ohh well,the stickers do make the laptop look cute!! Whattt?I don’t have the heart to remove them!

    When I went to buy my laptop,the sales guy,tried his best to sell me the MacBook.I kept saying no..then he asked me,why not?I just told him..’Look I share my laptop with my 4 year old..I would have my heart in my mouth,everytime she touched it…’He went on to explain how it was the most kidproof laptop ever..blah blah.. Much as I liked it..I still wouldn’t have the guts to give Babushka free reign over a $1500 laptop.. Nor would I have the heart to say No to her…So,I stuck to the tried and tested Toshiba!

  • MayG led the way..how could I not follow!!

    Would you???

  • Well,I have been cribbing about this for sometime to whoever would care to listen.Its Babushka’s school lunch. No matter what I give her comes back,as is..the max she does is nibbles at it.She loves cucumber and carrot sticks,yogurts and puddings,crackers n cheese,mini pizzas. I have tried it all. If I give her two-three options like-crackers,cucumbers and yogurt-she will eat whatever is the smallest portion. If just one option..nothing at all. Last night I made veg cutlets for her.She loved those.She asked for more and even asked me to save some for school I did.

    This morning I pan-fried the cutlets,quickly packed the lunch in a hotpack..SD thinks,she may not be eating,because she is used to hot food. And just added a few crackers in a ziplock bag,just in case. When she came back.. all she had eaten was 3 measly crackers! What is a mother to do??

    I am really getting desparate as each day goes by..She just about manages to gulp about half a cup of milk,before leaving..and keeps running on that till she gets home.Naturally,by then,she is super-cranky.Today she went to a friend’s place for an after-school playdate.She had lunch there and when she came home,2 hours later..she had two big pieces of banana bread,that I had baked,when she was away. So,I know..she does get hungry..May be she is just too distracted or too busy talking to eat?Her Kinder is water only zone..so no juice or anything.But if this continues,I will check with her teacher n see if I can give her some kind of smoothie or so.. Any suggestions,moms of picky eaters?
