  • Choco-chip muffins

    I made these gorgeous muffins for Aadya’s school lunch tomorrow 🙂
    The recipe is from here and my only changes to it are:
    1)Used Whole wheat self raising flour instead of regular one.
    2)replaced margarine with canola oil.

    My take- The cupcakes are nice and moist.Only,next time I will add a little more than the 3/4 cup sugar recommended..even a cup or little more than that would be fine too. I made mini muffins and baked a 9″ round cake with the remaning batter.. pretty cool,eh? Oh!I would reduce the temperature by about 10 degrees too.. (atleast in my oven)
    Hope you like enjoy making these too:)

    This one was spotted while we were walking to the shops, in a another neighbourhood.

  • Seeing a midwife

    We were going to see a midwife,yesterday.Naturally Babushka the curious kitten wanted to know all about Midwives.

    “Is the midwife a Doctor?” she asked. No the midwife is someone who helps the Doctor.

    “Oh!so,is she a nurse?”came the next question.. No she is not a nurse. She will take care of mommy when there is a baby in her tummy.

    “Achcha…so,she is a special person who takes care of little girls mommies,when they have babies in their tummies”..

    Yes,baby she is.. 🙂 All this while SD,kept shaking his head and mouthing..”wow..did you see that?she is so clever..thats a very valid question”.hehee proud daddy that he is!

    Anyway,after this long discussion,we went to see the midwife..and Babushka loved her instantly.. you know why?She asked her to hold the goodies bag,for the baby.Babushka was mighty impressed.. and held it patiently.SD told her,she can see whats inside once we are in the car.To her credit,she waited patiently,while we went around making various appointments!

    And while in the midwife’s office,she asked SD and me,in loud whispers,”Is this the midwife??” atleast 10 times… LOL! The look on her face was surreal.. as if she expected the midwife to be an angel or someone with wings and halos.. and was surprised to see just a normal person!!:D

    It was a good visit overall..my only disappointment being that we didn’t get to hear the baby’s heartbeat..she didnt even try..saying they try for a heartbeat,with a doppler,only around 20 weeks.Whatever!! Babykins moved just then,as if to tell me-‘Don’t worry Mumma,everythings fine here’ 😀 So,its OK I guess.

  • 18 weeks and counting..

    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.
