Welcome Home!!

Sparsh came home in his Nani's arms ....dressed in an orange outfit with a lil colourful sweater.

Where the bundle of joy arrived!

Sparsh came to us at Manipal hospital in Bangalore. We were at 11th floor in room No.62.

First identity!

Sparsh had a tiny band around his thigh when the nurse first brought him to me. It was his first identity with few stats that differentiated him from the world.

Sparsh!!!!

Sparsh arrived at 1.24pm! It was love at first sight :-)

Waiting anxiously!

come soon!!!! thats all I want to tell the baby as of now!!! My mom is here and Biswarup is back in the country so we are all set..please come soon and play in my arms!

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 :-)!

Birthday kick!

Baby was the first one to wish me on my birthday with a gentle kick. I cant wait to hold the baby in my arms! Daddy-to-be got me a #1 Mom photo frame from baby's side! Had an awesome lunch at Ruby's tuesday :-).

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.

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.

Diwali and Karwachauth...next one will be with the baby!
