pause...the movie buff in me!

We saw Ghajini today and I have a feeling that this is going to be the last movie I would watch in a theatre before the baby arrives. It will be difficult to say good bye to the friday evening movie outings but will have too. I hope the baby is movie crazy too :-)!

Maternity clothes- more room to fit in!

Maternity shopping becomes essential around the beginning of 3rd trimester. I would not suggest to hoard on the stuff coz of the limited use but still some items are essential like- Maternity jeans, undergarments and strech mark creams! here is a small list of recommendations for shopping destinations in bangalore.

Studio Mom: My personal favourite. It is a small shop in the garage of a bunglow in koramangala but the dresses are very cute and affordable too.
No.475, 13th Mn Rd, 3rd Blk, Koramangala, BangaloreLandmark: Nr Bda Cmplx

Phone: 25536640, 9845073998

Cherish - The Mother Store: It is also a store run from home and the clothes are very very reasonable. But I would recommend those clothes for home wear and not office/party wear.
No.14, 1st Crs, 10th Mn, 2nd STG, Indiranagar, Bangalore
Phone: 41155552, 9900567477

Apple Of My I: They stock multiple brands and have good collection. The prices are a little higher though.
2985, 12th Main, 100 Feet Road, Indiranagar, BangaloreLandmark: Near Coffee Day

Phone: 41154031

9 months: the best online shopping option plus they are available at apple of my I too.

Some other options....
Fabindia: Very comfortable and stylish.
Lifestyle: They have a maternity range called Morph.
Westside: Their maternity line is called Mom soon.
Shoppers Stop: Their mothercare brand is good but very expensive.

First Portrait!

Our baby is camera friendly....it was so moving to see the lil baby in tummy in full time action! Whosoever made ultrasounds possible deserves a big thanks...for bringing new life so close to us. I could feel daddy-to-be getting emotional too as we held hands and looked at the baby's face.

Sleep...before it fades!

I had heard that pregnant women tend to sleep early but little did i know that my battery would go down as early as 8pm! I struggle to keep myself up till 9:30 pm to be able to spend some time with hubby!

Oh I crave for you!

Hindi movies have made pregnancy cravings so popular that all mum-to-bes are proud of them and all pop-to-bes are worried about fulfilling those odd hour demands. I guess the cravings have started for me too. I never had a sweet touth but suddenly cant hold on to the temptation of having a ladoo, a pastry, an ice-cream or anything sweet for that matter. A little less obvious craving is for chinese food probably because it is forbidden in pregnancy (some MSG issue!)

The Baby or the Bean!

Oh my God!!!! There is the baby..or should I say the bean!!! My heart skipped a beat when I heard the baby's heartbeat for the first time. The lil heart was beating very fast at 151 beats per minute. I had read that the heartbeat sounds like a horse galloping..is not exactly true but close.

Diabetic mommies make the sweetest babies :-)


Yes.....I have known that I am diabetic for some time..It is hard enough to know that you got it so early..and is harder when their is baby on the way. But I guess we are in safe hands...first visit to the endocrinologist on 7th June and the first thing she tried to convince us of was that diabetic pregnancy is not tougher than normal ones..just one that needs special care. And there started an impromptu session of crying...I still cant believed I cried....maybe I was just too nervous. Thanks to the sense of humour the doctor has and hubby sitting next to me..I did not scare off all patients waiting outside. Anyways...so here we started on a journey of making the sweetest baby....with minimum sugar reaching the womb!

.....and the news dawns!


So...the would be daddy is back home from a business trip and just close to midnight the mommy-to-be whispers to him- "You are going to be a daddy!!!!". Whoooo...that twinkle..the blush..and the faint smile that broadens into a full fledhed grin...I guess the news took some time to dawn...that was the most peaceful sleep that night :-).

The two pink lines!!!

6th June 2008- 5 seconds...dont they just fly away but on that particular day it took forever for those two pink lines to appear on the home pregnancy test! And what followed???...a trail of emotions...excitement, happiness, fear, pride,...god knows what all..but that was the first subtle proof of knowing that we had "A pea in the pod".
