I had my second sonography yesterday…and I saw my baby!!! I saw its spine, head, eyes, hands and a small thumb!! It was such an adorable sight…my kid rolled its fist and gave me a thumbs up, atleast that’s how I would like to interpret it…I also saw its heartbeat…and I was totally amazed. My husband also accompanied me to see the baby, although I must say it was tough to make out everything as it was so vague…but it was a sight to see.
I am in my 6 month of pregnancy and the baby is 11 inches long; the size of a papaya! My weight is going to shoot up from now onwards and I have heard that from next month even a simple walk is going to be an effort…but nevertheless I am counting days and weeks.
My baby continuously moves around in its little house and practices all its acrobatic moves on my tummy. Everytime I talk to it or tell something or even ask a question with options, it responds with a kick or a small punch, acknowledging every word I tell. It is so much fun talking to it this way. Even yesterday, during the sonography it kept punching away to glory because the doctor was putting a lot of pressure on my tummy…maybe it was telling her to just buzz off and leave it in peace…:)

My clothes don't fit anymore!!!
I have become fat…although I would like to describe myself as a cute and plump mother to be…but in normal words it is referred as FAT!! I have put on 5 kgs and weight 60 kgs now.I no longer fit into any of my jeans or trousers or dresses for that matter. And; this has really become a matter of stress for me. Although I knew this was borne to happen, but it can become quite taxing when every morning you have to struggle to fit into a dress and then try and decipher what to wear, because, the dress you picked doesn’t fit you any longer!
It’s not like I haven’t gone shopping…but anything you select even the sales girl comes up with recommendations to buy a size larger! That really gets onto my nerves, as I look like a complete fool…like a flower pot, in those loose fitting clothes which, apparently are supposed to make me feel comfortable and ventilated, but leave me feeling miserable! Uhh!
The other day, I was visiting one of our family friends and although I planned to get dressed an hour earlier, I still ended up being late ‘cos out of the four dresses that I put on, I couldn’t fit into even one of them comfortably! .I ended up pulling out a few stitches here and there from a dress to loosen it up a bit so that I could fit my large frame in it.
Now being a girl, gaining weight is always going to be a depressing issue…and no matter what the reason it would leave you very distraught. I have already started praying that I can get back into shape post my delivery! Adding to my agony, my doctor told me I may be putting on another 5-8 kgs, in the next 3 months!! Kind of weird imaging myself all blown up! But kind of pleased to think my baby is growing so fast. As of today it weights 500gms and I am going for my second sonography this week..:)

Our first gift to our Baby!
People say the footsteps of a child are the blessed footprints of God in your life; it brings good luck and prosperity.
Well my kid sure has bought us some prosperity. We bought our first house, a huge investment and a little token of love for our child who will play & grow up in its own house! I have had a hectic month getting the house functional. We did a small Pooja with family and friends on Mahashivratri and moved in this month. We have been wondering once the baby comes where we would like to have its bed, what all little stuff would be required. My bhabhi who had come over the other day with her 6 month old baby boy and my child’s first cousin, gave me tips on child management and list of essential purchase stuff.
They say, a child should always sleep in a cot which has been passed on from one child to another and also for the initial few days, they should be made to wear clothes that have been worn by another kid…logic being the baby’s skin is extremely soft and a used piece of clothing which has been washed a few times and worn protects the skin. I didn’t know this and it was piece of information for me! Well I have been getting such tips and pieces of information from friends and family all over… how I should walk, what kind of clothing to wear and what food to eat. These small personal experience stories and anecdotes shared by all leaves me quite enlightened.
