2B's arrival is fairly close now and the excitement is building up. My parents reach Bangalore on 4th night which means Cub gets to a see a little more traditional Diwali and M and me get a break from eating apne haath ka khaana! :p I am still working. Plan to till the 4th after which i might get about a week of R n R before the child decides to pop! :)
Most of the excitement for 2B comes from his/her Big Brother Cubby! He is really looking forward to having 2B with us and is being super cute, understanding and mature about the whole thing. Kala Teeka and Touchwood! :)
We have been trying to set his expectations right by telling him that 2B for most part of first 3 months will be pooping, peeing, having milk and sleeping. So what does the Cub do? He decided cleaning 2Bs potty in that case might be the most exciting thing to do. So he keeps talking about how he will clean 2Bs potty with water. Then as an afterthought he once asked me "But Mamma, will 2B have a bum?!" :D
He also talks about feeding 2B milk with a spoon. And cutest of all he joins both his hands like a curve and says this is a cradle for 2B and he will put her to sleep there! :)
He has always been understanding about no sitting / jumping on my tummy and now is totally OK with not being carried either. Sometimes he is SO sweet about the whole thing that it breaks my heart! :(
He happily started going to school by van when i told him that my tummy is now too big to drop him on the bike.
He ofcos kisses my tummy (yaani 2B) at all random times, strokes it and hugs it and gives the cutest of smiles! :)
Since I am having a C-sec, it was easy to tell him how 2B is going to come out. So he sweetly asked me "But why do they have to cut your tummy?!". I said "nahi toh kahan se bahar aayega 2b?". He retorts "From your mouth. Just do thoo!" :p
All in all he is all set to take on the Bada Bhaiyya mantle and do complete justice to it. I hope the love and excitement stays even after 2B is out.
Love ya my First Born! You are one of the gentlest souls i have known! Here's wishing you abundant love and fun with your 2B! mmmmmmuuuuuuuuuaaah! :)

You both have a done a good job with Kabir since the journey of 2B started.
Its very imp. to tell older one about the incoming child what changes are going to happen in lives of you 3 and that too in such easy language to such a small child.
So Kudos to you three!!!! - you both for telling and Kabir for understanding major part applicable to him.
Looking forward to Happy Ram Bharat Milap!!!! Instead of Bharat (Boy) of course a GIRL can be there!!! Whatever sex the 2B has let it be healthy and wise!!!!
Total Kala Tikka post...hugs to you and take good care of yourself..Cubby you are such a sweetheart..and does he want a sis 'And cutest of all he joins both his hands like a curve and says this is a cradle for 2B and he will put 'her' to sleep there!' ...?
Waiting for 2B
Cubby is a darling. :)
Waiting eagerly for 2B to arrive :) Huggs.
He is SUCH a sweetheart! Bless him and all of you!
Btw, 'thoo karo'...totally original, methinks!!! I wish!
awwww he is a darling
*KALA TIKKA*
All the best. Hugs to Cubby and to Mom too
Excitement levels are building up - waiting for 2B's arrival !!
The last month is the worst. Can't believe there's at least another 10-15 days to go, when you look SO ready to pop. Kabhi kabhi toh mujhe doctor pe bhi shaque hota hai...
This was the super sweetest post and the best memory of this pregnancy. It has been a great adventure for Cubby, including the madness of the baby shower. Am sure he will have a great time once 2B arrives and we are all eagerly waiting for her/him to turn 1 and then be up for all the fultoo masti.
Happy delivering, love!
Aww, he is just such a dareling isn't it. Hugs to you and him and 2B ofcourse! Enjoy the week of rest and fill yourself up with as much sleep as you can! And all the best with C-sec.
Awwww the cradle thing sounds sooo sooo sweet :)
he is ready to clean 2B too -hw sweet is that :)
God bless!
I am soo eagerly waiting for 2B too :)
Cubby is a total sweetheart! LOL at the 'spit the baby out' suggestion. Yes, his sweetness always makes me mushy. I am back from the trip, and ready to recieve 2b :)
He is going to be a real sweet BIG brother... 2B will also bring out the little Dad in him...

Abha,great writing as ever,enjoyed reading it,would luv to meet you guys once 2B also joins the club ;-) All the best for a safe delivery...
Dad - much of credit goes to M for starting it off right. i was wondering if we should also buy books that slowly help him sink it in etc. but M didnt see any need for those. and yes, even more kudos to Cub for understanding and taking it so well! :)
R's mom - thanks! hugs back! :) he calls 2B him / her on a whim. but if you ask him he will say 2B is a girl. though i doubt its out of some preference! just his gut feel perhaps?! dunno! :)
