My Sunday Bunch....

My entire saturday was spent, just thinking of the plan we had fOR sunday.
Me being "ME"; loves to plan out on weekends and spend all day out. With sammu being so young and with Bangalore weather taking a turn, its so bloody impossible to be out for long....
Well, back to our plan.....

Sunday was spent at Marriot, with lovely lunch spread....
The ambiance, food and the crowd was simply awesome and so inviting. The best part was with N&G; whom i feel so peaceful to be around and myself.
Thanks to them for being there.....

Sammu had his own share of fun, was around the water fountain and just didnt wanna take his legs off the water.

Friday evening.....

Its late friday evening and my son is sleeping with his dad....am waiting for FIL to get back from airport; so found some time to dig into my blog. Its not easy for me to update in this space and am missing this the most.

Lot of stuff missing from past 2 yrs; which I shall regret for sure. My son is 1.6 yrs for today and he looks like a big boy to me. He calls us by names, loves to step outta home, loves the dog in the road, knows how to trouble me while eating, loves water, actions are his ways of communication with us and runs around the house like he has known this forever!

We attended a smal function today and as usual Sammu went into a shell. He is an introvert in front of new people and places. Am sure this behaviour will change when he grows up. He sticks to me and am getting used to this :). Well, I chose one of my Fav Green and Maroon salwar; with heavy dupatta for the day, with hair tied up as usual.... Sammu wore checks linen shirt and benetton jeans shorts; which i loved.
Amazing lunch spread and filled my tummy with all varities of sweets and ended up skipping my dinner tonight ( rare case)!!

 We did our usual evening walk and Sammy hardly wants to walk wit us. He just wanna run, least bothered about the vehicles ( like he understands!!!). I end up explaining him and ufffff; hell he is just a year and half and what am I expecting?

Its my In-laws anniversary t'row and my Fav Bisibelebath will be prepared. I shall prepare MosaruBaji with cucumber and Onions mixed, Saaru to go with it.

Sunday would be Brunch with friends....

The day I had this intuition

Sammu is standing next to me and –[]wan]t to= take control of the keyboard while I fight back…few of the keys are missing from my keyboard and not sure what will be the status in few more months ( Days!).

Today has been a day of thoughts…The day I had this strong intuition that its gonna be the Dday..It was Sep 21st, Wednesday and I was taking my usual walk after dinner…This was my routine from past few  months and I was due anytime for delivery…I just called my mom and spoke to her casually updating my day . I told her that while I was taking the walk, I strongly felt that it’s time for me to be prepared…As per the due date I still had 4 days, but I had this strong hunch that am gonna get my hint anytime tonight. I had absolutely no pains, was feeling very normal physically, the kicks were normal. I slept with a sense of excitement, unble to realize the slow contractions (one per hour)…I was unable to turn sideways due to heavy tummy and I knew it was “TIME”, as the contractions increased to one per 30 mins. I tried to take a walk as the pain was every 15 mins ,  I didn’t want to wake up hubby at that hour. It was intolerable with every 5 mins and with that fear mixed with a happiness, I woke him up so cheerful that its time for me to take my bags and head to the hospital. The usual uncomfortable procedure ( I dread that) was done to confirm it was Labour. I cried in pain for next 6 hrs, as they monitored and finally took me to the L.room. I was so determined and strong to have a Normal delivery that I kept praying I have the strength to push my lil one out. I loved the moment of seeing him anytime Versus the increasing pain to push, while the nurses did their job making me dread this every again!

It was a disappointing moment when the doc said they can no more hold on, as I was losing strength, seeing me sweat and rushed me to C-section and everything else blank…..only to hear minutes later “It’s a son” in my half conscious state.

My journey from here….Feeding, potty cleaning, sleep deprivation and the Struggle due to unawareness….. in my next post.

My lil one's activities

Celebrated Sammu's B'day last month and it was a superb evening. I personally had loads of fun meeting people, distributing gifts, carrying the lil one around and showing him off :) He wore a FabIndia Kurta and I was totally zapped with how handsome my lil boy looked and as a mother, kept looking at him wondering how fast time flies !!! He is a Year old, goodness!!!! I still remember my contraction pain and the delivery trauma...
 Though; the party was Not-so-good for my son since it got claustrophobic for him, but he behaved very well unlike Namakarana! Thanks to my lil gunda for being such a NICE momma's boy.

Day by day; His activities surprises and at same time put me off for all the running around. Exactly a year and a month old, his accomplishment are growing and varying every minute.

Sammu has started to walk without any support...though just few steps, yet a TREAT to watch him put those tiny steps and those small feet trying to balance, his eyes looking at me and expecting that encouragement to call him near me....This one milestone has washed away all the regrets of me "Not-working". Its another beauty which has given me unconditional happiness. Its the best moments of a motherhood and am sure any mother would vote for this.

Sammu loves running to Bathroom and play with water...now, what he most enjoys is me stopping him from going...This is how it works...We are together in room, playing..At one point I look at the phone (or) any work /talk to someone, there is takes that as a good chance to rush till the bathroom door and waits for me to look at him..The moment I look at him and scream, his catches that moment of joy and rushes towards the bucket... his screams are so cute, while he taps his feet with joy when the water sprinkles on him, looking at me to join him and I end up playing with him for atleast 10mins. Maybe this is the definition of "BLISS!!!"

He talks in his own language, paaaa, thataaaa, baaaa and so on...he can go on and on; enjoying himself and those meaningless words are so cute and double cute....

I ensure to take him out atleast once a week for coffee or lunch, so he gets to come to new places and get to meet my friends...he seems to be enjoying and knows amma needs to have some time out. I try to make it as much as engaging but personally love when he sleeps on my lap, which I enjoy my Pastas and Wine:)

Lunch with Vini and Neha at Toscano last week was one of the best times I have had....

Something which I wanted to pen down, for my self...
I have never left my son and gone out till date. As much as I would like to have some "ME" time, I have no choice to just leave him and somewhere am getting a feel that will reach a stage where he will not be able to stay without me. I might not like this since I would definitely need that independence and from him too.I wish to refrain back to my dreams once he is old enough to understand and agrees to let me go out for what I want to do....

got sometime tonight to read my friends blog and am loving loving it....
I wish to make more time....

Cheers

added my lil one in my blog :)

Got some time this noon to take a look at my blog....Was dissapointed with its look, untouched feel for long...I pepped it up with my baby's snap in it...welcome back to our world !!!!

Enjoying every bit of sleepless hours, feeding, cooking for gigee, taking him out for walks, shopping for him, cleaning the potty, bathing him ....I must admit with all the things we have been doing, the best and most content feel was "to put him to sleep"!!! Its not easy but the minute he sleeps on my lap, i just hug him tight and feel so beautiful..I always say its the best moments of my lifetime!!!!

Hope to get time for more....
soon we are celebrating his one year b'day!!!!

Cheers

Gigee learns to CrAwL

EKKSSS, its like am Crawling all over the house!!!
Its just been two days, my lil one has learnt to crawl and there is just no stopping him.....and ME who has to be there and watch him!
He loves everything and anything on the floor and just reaches in seconds to grab them or go and hot his head...This leaves me no choice but to run along with him ensuring he doesnt hurt himself and at the same time he enjoys his new skills!!!!
Love u Gigee for all the fun moments and am so sorry if I raise my voice when am "Just done" with all your nonsense....

I have this deep urge to feed him all the time and try varieties so he can relish. I have my own boundaries at home and hope to introduce salt and rice soon....

My fav moment with my lil one is when he is just about to sleep on my Lap and those many kisses I plant on him so he can sleep well..he has a faint smile on his face, eyes closed,  innocent, so unconditional, so beautiful and thats when I feel "ITS ALL WORTH IT"....nothing has ever made me feel so beautiful than this phase and so that makes me huggg him so tightly before put him on bed !!!!

Off to mommy's place t'row and a day and have back to back function to attend on weekend...so that will be fast ...we have planned a special occasion for our lil one...as a part of the ritual, we shall be taking him to the temple sunday morning and he will be Lil boy "Bodu" on that day :) Am waiting to see my bodu Gigee with no hair....
