Sympathy Symptoms?????

Now what the heck are sympathy symptoms! Well pregnancy definitely has expanded my horizon of understanding various pains, but this area called 'Sympathy Pains' was untouched until now. Not sure if many people know about this, but atleast my coworkers were the first ones to share it with me. And now I can practically associate it with!

To make it clear in lay man terms, sympathy pains are usually similar symptoms to pregnancy a partner usually experiences around the same course. Example, if I am having nausea- there is a possibility Amit might be feeling sick! I couldn't believe it at first, but slowly and gradually I have started to realize this is true! I can't prove this theory since Amit doesn't reflect his condition upfront, but I recently noticed him feeling the same way I did. He said it before I did! And I wondered, if at all Sympathy pains are to be believed. I definitely have!!

Hiding!!

Yeah, I've been hiding in my snugly little corner- away from blogging and the social world. Couple of reasons-

- Work is keeping me occupied 12 hrs at the least. By the time I reach home, I am tired, exhausted, drained, in pain at times, and many other things that follow.

- Doctors appointments. Well starting December 2008, my appointments have moved from monthly to biweekly.

- Days are drawing close. That I would say is the # 1 reason for my hiding in my closet...shying away from blog. The feeling of finally having our little gem finally kicked in as soon as this month started! I couldn't believe at first that just 2 months are left for the grand arrival, and I guess I would wanted to stay in denial all this while. I feel so unprepared now! Oh gosh!! I have been reading the newsletter and the same-month-mommy's are so ready, I feel I am the only one lagging behind. I haven't done much preparations yet. No nursery, no crib, no travel system, no diapers!!!!! Can't believe myself that I have not done any of that. All I have shopped for my cuddly fellow is bunch of clothes that would be needed in the hospital!!

So, I am under a constant pressure, to look for stuff, research for it and as it is in here it's very hard to quickly decide for the stuff you need!! One have to browse through couple of stores, compare, check, and finally make your decision on a particular item. Hopefully by the end of this year- we'll buy most of the items listed in my checklist, complete Lamaze classes, pre-register in the hospital and hopefully be finally ready.

This week is going to be super busy and I'll talk about the happenings around a little later. Got to get ready for work! Will catch up later!!! Ciao!

Dadi Dada are here!! Wohoo!!

Dadu and Dadi aka our baby's grandparents have arrived! They reached Orlando on Friday evening from California. This time around it's their baby care trip. As initially they visited CA to take care of their grand daughter, Raashi, who is 5 month old. And then now they have come to visit us, to welcome their grand child.

Who knew they'll be seeing two new grand children in a single trip!!

Finally- we get to see our baby!!! Yay!!

I am amazed as how the technology has advanced in these past years, that we can actually look at our child, find out his/her expressions, features and what not!! Though your baby needs to be co-operative to take these memorable photographs. We went thrice to the technician, as our baby is you can call it as a shy baby. He/she would cover his/her face with their legs and toes or at times with hands or go behind placenta.

But there was no giving up by Mommy and Daddy either. We are as stubborn as our lil one to take a peak as to how does our lil gem looks like. The third time, we could capture some nice profile of our baby and here is how it came out:





If you notice carefully, the baby is pointing the index finger towards us.


Is that a smile? I can't tell!!
