Alas...10 days left!
Hubby and me will be going to Thailand for 7 days..We will be going to Phuket, Pattaya and Bangkok. This is a long over-due vacation...which was supposed to take place 3 years back...
The impatient 'Me' wants to prepone my vacation and go NOW! Just the cost of reshuffling all the bookings is holding me back!

His
His skin ( i really really hope so)
His height ( yes:))
His nose (yes)
His complexion (yes)
His body structure (yes)
His even & patient nature (dont know...it hasnt developed yet)
His gift of gab ( let him start talking..then we will see)
His extrovert nature (yes..he loves to interact with other ppl..except dvlites:))

His belief in God (ditto)
Something I wouldn’t want the baby to inherit from either of us

Our extreme cautiousness ( he is very cautious about hurting himself)
Our inclination to always be politically correct (ditto abt crossing my fingers)
i would do a development post on his 10month birthday...

Hopefully back with a bang!
I made the blog pubulic a while ago...and although I knew I would have a very few visitors..something always prohibited me to publish a post!
Now that this is my personal diary again..maybe I would be a bit regular...I certainly hope so...
Had Gouri and Ashish over for lunch today. Was a host after a long time and cooked a nice enough after a long time. Pasta for starters, rajma, jeera aloo and white chicken for main course and celebrations chocolates for dessert.
Pretty washed out today but the feeling of restlessness doesnt leave me. feel so alone and tiny in the biiiiiiiiiiiiiig world. or very claustrophobic in this small house! cant decide between the two.
need to do something....i feel my life is just passing me by.
regarding my sweet angel, he is growing up day by day. he is one of the most cutest kids i have ever seen. everyday i feel blessed to have such a non-fussy child.
i really need to take him out more. otherwise he will also clam up in a shell like me.
regarding s and me, the distance seems to be growing. life has become quite monotonous. i feel sorry for the poor guy too. he works so hard. doesnt have a life outside his office and home. but then, maybe that is his problem!
i really wish i had someone to talk to...:(.....but then what would i talk about...have nothing to talk to...
i am devoid...

Discovery ke side effects - II
As the D-day is coming nearer, the frequency of my delivery dreams is also increasing. Dreamt another one last night, where my sister, me and my cousin are all pregnant and due on the same date. The doc gives us an injection and shows a thermometer type thingie wherein if the 25 mark is crossed, labour would begin. My sis's thermometer begins to climb steadily and soon crosses the 25 point mark and we proceed to encourage her to push...push...and push..
And then lo and behold....out of a skin coloured hot-water bottle...comes a feeding bottle!!!!! and then a plastic doll....which after scraping off the plastic becomes the baby!!!!!!! And it has its hair styled in impeccably cut long layers!!!!!!!!!!
Can anything get more weirder than this!

Discovery ke side effects
Two days ago I decided to chuck aside my laptop for a day and instead give some attention to another consumer durable item in my house 'TV'. And so I happen to watch 'Birth Story' on Discovery Channel in which I saw a LIVE NORMAL DELIVERY!! It would be an understatement to say that the show was 'eye-opening'! I was shocked, apprehensive, scared, relieved and moved to tears. The scene of the new born baby popping out into the world refused to go out of my mind...
To the effect, that last night I was convinced that my water had broken and I had gone into labour. A visit to the loo dispelled all such imaginative notions from my head and I managed to slip into la la land after much tossing and turning. But my mind refused to accept that my delivery date is still good 2 months away. I dreamt of how my water broke, how I rushed to the hospital, how a silly doc displayed diagrams and diagrams of the kind of episotomy he would prefer to do on me (EEKS). But thankfully, I woke up before he could butcher me up.
Reading and watching birth stories are unravelling my mind...rather than preparing me for the D-day

Things that make me go UMMMMMMM...
For a person who hardly had any cravings during her pregnancy...this list might seem pretty long :p
In my 1st trimester
1) Pepperoni Pizza: Infact any pizza was fine with me..
2) Apple Pie with icecream: Simply delicious
3) Bournvita Milk: Craved this for a couple of weeks...but simply hate the sight of it now
4) McDonalds Burger: Still love to have it.....I even dream about it
5) Fish: Used to have fish 2-3 times a week in the first trimester
6) Chinese: This was my strongest craving and has refused to abate even now
7) Arvi: How my husband abhors this craving of mine
8) Beer: One craving I didnt give into...
9) Cheese & Chutney S/W: I think this was more of a convenience
2nd trimester
1) Ragda Pattice: Loved to have this even if I had the worst case of acidity and heartburn later
2) Kulfi: Have demanded this a couple of times after midnight and sweet hubby managed to get it everytime
3) Parathas: My MIL was in demand for her parathas laden with ghee
4) Rajma Chawal: Cooked by my MIL
4) Rose Milk: Had a brief romance with rose milk when I was in my maayka
5) Aloo Chat: See 'Ragda Pattice'
6) Chocolates: Craved intensely for dark chocolates...so much that told my cousin to get some for me during his trip abroad...and he got me....worth $500!!!!!! My family is of the opinion that my baby will be born dark due to me bingeing on dark chocolates!!!
3rd trimester
1) Coffee: This craving has struck me out of the blue...and is quite strange as I abhorred coffee
2) Apple: See 'Coffee'
3) Prawns Gassi with Appam: Mahesh Lunch Home Zindabad!!!
4) Maggi: My latest crush!!
I'm sure that in the remaining 1.5 months the list is going to get longer....

How to feel pregnant?
I always bitch to my hubby and friends that I dont feel I'm pregnant.
Scene 1:
Hubby is wondering when is the decent time he can float off to slumberland without Veli Wifey grumbling that he doesnt talk to her anymore.
" I dont feel pregnant at all. I dont puke, hardly have any cravings and I dont have a big belly!!" Hubby has the kindness to refrain from mentioning the 3 month pregnant belly she had before she was even pregnant and turns a deaf ear to my whining.
Scene 2
Visit to the kindly doc
I am done asking the important questions to the doc and am about to leave when Hubby decides to get into his Q&A mode.
Hubby: "Doc, she feels that she is not pregnant??"
Doc" "Huh"!!! * wondering how to make this 30 week pregnant woman feel that she is pregnant!
Me: telephatically willing my husband to keep his trap shut or I will kill him.
Scene 3
Devoid of gaining sympathetic noises from Hubby, turn to a good friend
Me: " I dont feel pregnant at all!!!!!"
Friend: " It doesn't come as a surprise to me! You didn't feel that you were getting married, until you got married!!"
HMMMMMMMMMPPPPPPP!!! now whom shall I turn to?

Have you posted yet?
Some days ago, when I was checking my regular gmail my husband peeked into my Inbox and exclaimed, "A new gmail a/c of samelooneytune is created????? Why????? What is this????? Why didnt you tell me?????" and a host of other questions. I tried to sideline the topic and quickly closed my Inbox which further raised his suspicions.
"You are hiding something from me!" " You never used to do this before!" and the litany continued...
After an hour or so, I opened my newly created, brand new, shiny albeit half-done blog page and showed him.
"So what have you posted?" he asked.
"Nothing......I dont know what to write", I answered glumly.
"How can you not know what to write", he persisted.
Today after few days, I know what to write :p
