Purvi at five months!

Remembering Biji

This post is very special for me as I blog about my dadi ma. She expired on Jan 26, 09. I had just met her last year in the month of Nov. and I told her that I would come soon to meet her. I hadn't met her for last 5-6 years because of some reason or the other, sometimes the reason was studies and other times the reason was just laziness. I guess I took her for granted and thought she would live for many more years. Now I regrett not meeting her earlier.

This time when I met her, the real reason was Purvi, dadi ma called my dad and asked him if he could bring Purvi and Anu.

When I came to know that she was no more with us, I cried and at the same time thanked the almighty for I had a chance to touch her, talk to her when she was alive. All the old memories come rushing to my mind when I think of her. I remember asking her to help me with my math problems and she would do it in just fraction of seconds. Ohh...I miss her. May her soul rest in peace. She would wait outside for me and my brother, whenever we got late from school then she would cook food for us and the three of us would sit in the kitchen and eat together.

When I met her she told me that she misses me like anything and desires if I could come again and meet her. She was staying with my uncle in Punjab.

I am happy that my father was near to her when she took her last breath, holding her hand. She told my aunt that she just loved meeting me and Purvi and that she was happy. All that I feel guilty is that I could have met her earlier.

Poops and poopoos

The title may sound weird but that's what is running through my mind now as Purvi can poopoo any time.

It's just amazing to see Purvi and sometimes I can't just imagine myself doing all that I do now as a mum. Things like making Purvi do poopoo, give her bath, wash her clothes, feed her when she cries and other small things like that.

Sometimes even small things look so big as its tough to leave Purvi alone and do the household work. Becoming mom is a full time job.

As of Purvi, she has discovered her hands as well as ours. She tries to hold our hands and play with hers. It's not easy to understand her silent language as she only knows how to cry?

She cries when:

1. She is hungry
2. she is feeling cold
3. she want to go poopoo
4. she wants me by her side
5. she wants to hold her toys

All in all my daughter knows how to CRY :) and much more.

I am able to blog today as my hubby is taking care of our daughter. Thank You, dear husband.

That's Motherhood!

I think motherhood is all about not getting time for yourself, it's all about TIME FOR THE BABY! Well, whenever I plan to blog or surf net, Purvi wakes up as if knowing that mum is going to be busy for herself. This picture was taken in the Hospital when Purvi was one day old.

Hot and Happening

The title is for my daughter. She's the talk of my household.The first kid is so very special and at the same time so very tough to be a first time mother. The first week with Purvi was very crucial as she used to cry a lot. I thought she is turning colic but the doctor told us that she has an infection.
She's waking up....just checked sleeping peacefully. Thank God! Our nights are her mornings and vice versa. I don't know how many times I have cried with her but now she looks well.
Will check back later, I think she's waking up.

Introducing...Purvi

Purvi, my daughter, born on Sep1, 08, is a bundle of joy in my life. Although challenging yet enjoying is the new phase of my life. She is sleeping right now, so you know why I am logged in.

I get no time .....oh she is waking up, will update later.

I am 36 weeks pregnant...wow

It sounds and feels great, I am 36+ weeks pregnant. Could not post earlier on the progress as I was too busy with shifting my house to a new location. To add to the discomfort there was no net at home. We applied for the net connection in June, as soon as we shifted to the new location, still the MTNL people haven't come to look into the matter
,don't know why?
In the meantime, with no net at my new home, I am at my parents home, here for delivery. I read some good books and also my maternity book :) Got few XL clothes for myself and now planning to make my baby bag.
Around 30th week, I came to know that my HB level has dropped to 8.7 from 9.8 accompanied with a little weight loss, which made me tensed :( When we consulted the Doc. she told us it's normal for HB level to drop at this stage as the baby is taking feed from the mother. But I need to take more care of myself.Finally, I was asked to go for some iron shots(iron injections are just too painful because they are injected deep in your skin)
I am on with my regular visits to the doctor till the time of delivery. Praying for safe and sound delivery.
