Keeping it simple for you

When you get something which you had always longed for , is the most happiest moment of your life. And it becomes special when its unexpected. Something similar happened to me yesterday. Because of the flu season, my kids were a little cranky for the past two days. As usual they needed more attention and some extra love n care. If I gave more time to the little one, big brother was hurt. So, I made it a point that whenever I was free from chores and little one sleeping, I dedicate time to Big Bro. That made him happy :) With life similar to iph4 with too many apps , things are not so easy to workout and getting a chance I just lie down . But yesterday, when I wanted to take a power nap, my little one woke up. He cudn't have a proper sleep because of irritation due to cold. He seemed to be cranky again. But then was the moment !!! He woke up with full sleepy eyes and turned towards me. Gave a very sweet smile and patted thrice on my cheeks and went to sleep holding my ear, posting t...

When we get nostalgic about something, we either smile over the incident or just let it go with a sigh. And something similar just happened with me today. Years ago, something like this was echoing at home," take off your uniform, finish your homework, do not sit near the tv now, finish your milk,go out and play, do your prayers, time to bed",when Mom used to give out a call to us. And my younger brother deliberately used to hide or sit cozily with our Grandfather as he knew once he was with him, no one can scold or get him out of that place unless otherwise, Bapa (that is how we adressed our Grandfather) moved. He was the pampered one. It was very difficult for Mom to finish her chores with him. She used to stare and increase her tempers but nothing ever worked. Then, I used to feel ," Oh! Mom is so restricting." But now, when I have stepped in her shoes , I am going through the same situation when my elder son sits cuddled near his Grandfather or Grandmother and I...

The long wait is finally coming to an end. My lil one will be in my arms in just a day.

With all the cling clangs of Merry Christmas, I never expected a big band of choir fooling me, making me stand still, pulsating ,trying to camouflage myself. When it was time to wish each other and ask for the day's plan, a friend called up and mentioned she was going to encourage a friend over lunch. One said, she had to make something special for her husband, and last but not the least had to spend her day at the church. The eldest of the gang had just returned from India, which made it obvious that she should be taking rest, getting herself out of the jet lag. So all were busy with something or the other. Day passed and I was so cozily sitting with my PJ's on, enjoying my plate of evening snacks with my family, when suddenly the door-bell rang and 'twas a friend asking for a small help. Few minutes later there was another bell, one more friend , just came in to show her new saree. But the third time the bell rang, I heard some children outside & they were my son'...

With few days left for a new beginning, a bit of nervousness, a smell of anxiety and a handful of thoughts, still make each day to pass with difficulty. Before my Doc sets a date,people have already started voting for their own dates. Some want the baby on my birthday,some on 28th, and strangely many on 15th ,me on 11th or 22nd and so on. Can't imagine stepping into the same shoes which I had left five years back.................. Something really funny, there is an ad showing kindergartners saying where a baby comes from. The kids say," a baby comes from mmmmmmmmmm somewhere", "a baby comes from special hugs","a baby comes from God" and all of a sudden, Gaurav speaks,"no, babies only come from Mommy's tummy, like my baby brother/sister will come." :) So very special are these little ones .... Well, so far so good... from 40 weeks to less than 40 days :) God be in my head and in my understanding, God be in my eyes and in my looking, God b...

It is mentioned in various articles that a carrying mom can consume up to 200mgs of Caffeine a day. Or, if she is chocoholic then a few won't be any harm. But, presently I realised, the days I drink a cup of coffee or I eat couple of chocolates,say 3-4, the movement of my baby reduces and so reduces my sleep. Yesterday was Halloween and I consumed enough chocos because I could'nt control my temptation towards few liked ones. Then I had to compulsorily sit down with my kick count sheet and start counting how many times my baby moved or kicked(in general term). Never took it so seriously !!! Its time for me to say a strict No to coffee and a no,no to chocolates untill Jan :) A tip to newly expecting mommies - eat as much chocolate you want during 2nd trimester , forget the 1st and 3rd . God Bless Us All Amen

My taste bud has been different these days. Just like a mood swing,I get a taste swing very often. At some point of time,I feel like craving a huge piece of cake but sometimes even a spoon turns me off. Spice comes and goes the similar way. But it was horrible today !!! I had to undergo a gestational diabetes test today morning for which I had to fast prior 1 hr and then the nurse gave me a drink to finish in a gulp. It was a 20 ounce Glucose based Orange juice. I was surrounded with different patients and as a basic instinct everyone was glaring at me . I took the first sip ,as to taste it............ I looked at my husband and all others looked shocking at me !!! I couldn't gulp that very 1st sip even. 'twas so sweeeeeeeeeeeeet , so sweet , tasted just like a sugar syrup with sugar amount tripled. I had to finish it in one gulp ...crazy !!! Chilled and sugary ! My test was after 1 hr of the drink intake and that was worse as the taste hardly changed from my mouth. Worse even...
