About time I wrote about the Peanut,isn’t it?
We had our 12 week scan a couple weeks back.And wow!!that was the most amazing thing I ever saw.When Aadya was born,I fell totally in love with her,absolutely head over heels.So much so,that I didn’t think myself capable of ever loving any other human being,as much as I love her.It was probably the only thing,that I had in the ‘Cons’ side of my ‘whether to have another baby’ list. But,I need not have worried.Really..the fact that a mother’s heart grows to accommodate all her children is not a myth..its true!
When I first heard the Peanut’s heartbeat..I loved the sound of it.I remember being so tensed before going for the ultrasound.And when I heard the galloping,it was the most musical sound ever!And my sister was there with me this time..
She was in awe too,the whole day!I just wish DH was there too.Anyway,so,we had the 12 week scan and everything was as it should be.When I was pregnant with Aadya,I never had this 12 week scan.I had a dating scan at 10 weeks and then,directly at 18 weeks.So,I was totally unprepared for this one.The first time we went,the Peanut didn’t co-operate and we had to go back the next day.And then,we got a clearer picture.
Coming back to now,the nausea seems to easing out..well,instead of 7 bad days in a week,I now have 3.
that’s an improvement.In fact today after months,I cooked a whole meal- daal-rice,sabji,roti,salad,buttermilk!Pretty cool,eh?I still cannot tolerate strong smells and am still keeping away from raw onion smell. But,I can tolerate the fried onion smell..so one more chore has been added to DH’s list..yup!you guessed it..chopping and frying the onions for a curry.And let me tell you,why it’s a big deal.Well this is a guy,who couldn’t even peel onions when we got married.He eats an apple,as is.No cutting or chopping for this guy.And now he does it,without any qualms and like a pro too! Gosh!I love him so much! I had a terrible episode of sciatica last week..and spent two days in bed..but thankfully,its gone for now.
But,my Dr. told me to expect it again.Well,we’ll cross that bridge,when we get there. The good news is: I have been feeling the Peanut move,for quite some time now..and wow! that’s amazing too.(Touch wood!Now!)
Bas,all well,otherwise.Tomorrow is a big day!First day of Kinder for Ms.Aadya and she is super excited about going.We have picked out an outfit,down to the shoes and socks
and we don’t even leave till noon!!Oh!And hey!Lurkers,I still haven’t given up on you commenting on the Lurker’s post!
Edited to add:Kaala Tika(daddy’s demand!)

Hey you!
Yes,you!!You,reading this post.How are you doing?
Last few days,the blog stats have been really flattering-what with number ranging in the 100s and even crossing 300s on one of the days.Wow!!That’s a lot for my blog.But,what makes me sad is there are just a couple comments..Come on guys,that’s not fair!!
Go on,stop and say hi
make my day! Just one comment..yes?Please?Pretty please with a cherry on top?If you have time and the will,then,tell me,where you came from?what brought you here?
Oh!and before I end the post-I have to write this down.
Aadya’s latest fad is stickers.She loves collecting sticker and putting them in her books and giving them to us.Yesterday,we got her some ladybug stickers.As soon as she opened it,she put a sticker on her hand and then,gave me one. Then she put one on my tummy too! And then she picked the shiniest ladybug and heart sticker for her Daddy!And she put it on her hand. And then Daddy dearest went to the grocery store to get some bread and milk.When he came back,I noticed the sticker was still on!I asked him and he sheepishly admitted, “I didn’t want her to feel bad .” Well! I didn’t know what to say any more..all I did was,reach out and hug him.
And this,ladies and gentlemen,is the 6th post of NaBloPoMo!

Yes!That’s what happened to DH’s cricket match today.The ground is flooded.Can you tell I am really happy??LOL!After months I had him all to myself,for the whole Weekend!!WOWW!!
We slept in,woke up had breakfast together-all of us at the table versus him gulping his cup of milk and downing his breakfast in two bites.Aah!the joys of simple things ,I tell you!! It was still overcast and DH and Aadya started craving for Nando’s. Yeah,they get sympathetic cravings too!! So,we went out had lunch at the food court,walked around the Town Center-Aadi,walking between us-I feel happy today.
Now,we are waiting for some friends to come over for a movie marathon.Speaking of movies,reminds me of this morning.I put a TV ban on! That did not go so well with Aadya and DH.They both fiddled the remote,every now and then.DH resorted to playing scrabble on his iPhone and Aadi,kept asking me every few minutes,if its time to watch TV now.I told her to go play something.And she went on to pack a bag and pretended to go to India
And that kept her busy for a long time.I finished cleaning and by then DH got tired of playing scrabble and we all sat down and talked-general random talks.I’ve come to realize that random chit-chats are so rare these days. While we were talking,Aadi and I gave each other mini-manicures-I ended up with more paint on my fingers,than on my nails-but that’s not important,is it?.She picked chocolate brown nail-polish and I chose Shimmery Lilac.It was the most fun afternoon ever.We offered to give a head massage to DH too,but he declined.Anyway,mood today is happy..
How has your weekend been so far?
