...still growing!

27 April

Week 33

I had my 32nd week scan and docs appointment last week on 21st April. Everything went well; naughty little one had its foot in its mouth and was moving around big time! Even the sonographer had a nice time laughing looking at the movements. She measured and checked all that was required and it turns out that our baby has slightly larger head than average..lol…just like his dad when he was little. I’m keeping my fingers crossed coz it’ll be me trying to push the Big head out :o) Baby’s estimated weight right now is about 1.9 kilos…so obviously therez still some growing to do. My belly is getting really huge and even more active now, the kicking and turning is so strong…and I’m now conveniently wearing hubby’s comfy PJ’s at home…hummm…I think I should try his denims too!
I’ve come to that stage that people look at my belly and offer me their seats on the tram or just give me way on the street..lol...but I’ve been getting such contradictory opinions on the size of my belly! My gay hairdresser thinks….m gonna “pop” anytime and I’m carrying twins…while a colleague at work says that I haven’t got a big belly yet! Well! me thinks this is as BIG as it should get…honestly I’m now getting a wee bit tired of carrying the extra weight around and my leg cramps are coming back these days. Nights are a little tiresome too since I wake up several times to pee…bladder getting all squished up with the increasing size of the baby….sometimes its just hard to fall back to sleep as I get anxious about the final stage! It’s not all that hard though…it’s my last week at work and I’m really looking forward to having some time to myself doing things I haven’t had time to do in a long time and then spending some time with soon to be Naana-Naani. I’m still enjoying the process and looking forward to life taking a complete turn!

51 days to go…

Showers of blessings!

17 April (woah! 2 calendar months 2 go!)

Week 32

Well! I meant to write an update a couple of days back but have just been extremely lazy. I know I’m excused…coz “I’m pregnant”..lol…so here is a little tete-e-tete with our little Angel

Dear Little Pea,

You received your first round of blessings at our Baby Shower on Saturday, 11 April 2009. The party more or less a surprise was organised by your dear masis Shruti and Mattu, with lots of assistance from Rajat, Amaan and Junior. And they all did a wonderful job of it, everything was perfectly done – the invites, the decorations, and more importantly the FOOD. Shruti masi home cooked everything and it was delicious. Your mate Aarav was very supporting too and played with everyone without being uncomfy with having so many peole around. He is such a darling little naughty boy…and whether you’re a boy or a girl, I really hope you two get along well and not make things difficult for me and Shruti..lol... Yes, I’m sort of saying "you my little one, don’t really have a choice."
Mattu masi and Kiran naani sent you some real cute baby stuff and I’m trying not to look at it everyday! Have kept them safely wrapped so you can open them yourself when you’re here…don’t worry there will be lotsa volunteers to help you unwrap and get on with all your gifts. I wish we were the same size..lol…then I could wear some of the really cute ones before you popped out :o) But don’t you worry bachaaa…once you’re all grown up your mommie is going to be sharing your clothes (hopefully, if I don’t get too FAT).
We played lots of interesting games and Mattu and Sunny stayed online throughout joining in all the fun. Your dear dad gave my belly some serious competition with a balloon baby stuffed in his shirt! Even though, there was tussle for choosing the party favours – bookmarks handmade by Mattu, I manged to keep one for you too. You’ll find it in your baby book and make sure you pick up my reading habits and not dads :o) There are lots of nice messages for us three from everyone, awaiting you to read them!
Mattu masi even made a real nice video for everyone to watch…so I’ve finalised that she has to be Ms Raju Photographer for all your important events. And don’t worry we won’t take any pics of you being born, I know being my baby you would want to be clean and dressed up for the shot :o) After all first impressions matter!!
We all had such a good time and I’m sure you enjoyed everything on the table coz I made sure you got plenty of helpings :o)
Thanks Chottu Singh for bringing so much joy and excitement in our lives…I’m glowing and growing because of you!

Unconditional love
Your whole world…well! at least for now :o)
