Small Wonder

My daughter is a small wonder. She makes my smile all the time. All my worries just go away when I look at her. I never knew she could mean so much to me. I love her.

Purvi has started crawling and she tries to stand holding sofa or chair. I try to capture those moments in my camera but she is so conscious that she moves around. But, at times she just smiles back and takes the camera away from me.

We go out for walk together in the evening and her smile has made many friends.

A little update about myself: I have started working for 3-4 hours now. A friend of mine gave me the opportunity to work with him. Currently, the firm has 20 employees and are planning to expand. It is amazing to be back in the corporate sector and a very welcome change. Purvi, in the meantime stays with her grandma. When I come back home all my time is for her then.

I just realized that I write nothing else other than my daughter on my blog. Although, I never want to make this a mommy blog yet its turning to be one.

That's all from me, nothing much. I am enjoying my newly acquired motherhood!

Bah-i Temple

We have been on our Delhi Darshan AGAIN. Earlier it was a little discomfort traveling with our daughter but now we are at ease. Last weekend we went to Bahi-i temple. Also known as lotus temple, it is surrounded by water on all sides.

Here's a wikimapia link for the Bahi-I temple read more on Wikipedia I was amazed by the architecture of the lotus temple. A must see if you visit Delhi.

Suggestions Please

I really don't know how to say it but sometimes I feel so helpless and irritated at the same time. She wakes up every hour during the night and that leaves me sleepless, energy less and irritated. The impact of her waking up is so severe that even my husband has to bear the brunt of my anger and tiredness. i know its bad but can't help.

Any suggestion on that front would be really appreciated.

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.
