said too soon??
OK! OK! I confess! i did the victory dance over measly 1kg too soon! in two weeks i have put on 2kgs now!
: ( my doc had a field time finally having something to holler about! and now i have given up! officially and totally given up!
ofcos that doesnt mean i am binging and eating too much and all that. but i am not worrying about it anymore. doing my regular routine... around 35mins walking, 7mins - 10mins breathing and around 10mins - 12mins of stretching! :) my ogre doctor apart, i think i am doing ok! :p
Bumpy you have been growing fast me thinks! nowadays you keep wriggling for minutes together creating a mini tsunamiesque feeling in my tummy. ofcourse its all still very plesant and not hurting at all!
hope you comfy and feeling good?? my last scan again said the due date is around 20th Julywith past 3 scans saying 14th July! :( hope to see you sooooon my darling Bumpy! :)
the weather here in Bombay has been horrid with rains being pushed away by a week. Am glad Bumpy doesnt have to sweat it out here. hehe! but they are fast approaching now the monsoons and we should see some respite ASAP! i hope i hope! :)
rest all is well and rocking! hope to make more posts before Bumpy doesn's leave me totally tied up for me to even LOOK at a computer! :)
cheers!

Bumpy ya Wriggly?! :)
well! the dad to be has been complaining about how i am not being regular with the blog etc! what to do? Bumpy is such a calm kid, dont always have something new to talk about! :)
am doing fine! i DID lose 1kg in 3 weeks! and no it doesnt mean i am unwell and doing badly! by now you all are well aware of my doc's obsession with my weight... and he has been telling me to lose 5kgs! gee! ofcos that i think is out of question. yet i felt like doing a victory dance when the weighing scale proclaimed that i had lost 1kg! came out with a HUGE grin! :D
Bumpy has been moving a LOT more! or maybe i have been feeling it more now finally! he is all wriggly!! or maybe its just lack of space which makes every movement of his a new "wriggle" in my tummy.
i could finally make dad to be feel the movement and it spooked him out completely firsyt few times round. and seeing my tshirt jump out with Bumpy's kick was the weirdest of it all. he ofcos soon got used to it and kept feeling my tummy for new movements! :)
rest i feel i have been pregnant forever and eagerly waiting to actually hold you, Bumpy!
hope you enjoying yourself before you open you eyes to this big world! :)
love ya lots!

kickboxing, dancing or wind surfing??
back after a very long hiatus! recently been a part of a girlie yahoo group which seems to take up a lot of my internet time! :)
Bumpy, i have been wondering whether you going to be a sportsperson or a dancer! I can feel your movements quite often now. at times you are kickboxing in my tummy and at times i feel you are slow dancing to a music of your own. Sometimes its like you are creating waves in my tummy! :) whatever it is, i just love feeling every little movement of yours! i wake up looking forward to you waking up and stretching too. you are ofcourse still being as gentle as ever! :)
i am doing good! have been having slight health trouble in terms of cough that leaves me breathless! was wondering if its some kind of infection. got some blood tests done. Doc buddy said reports are normal. the cough is more related to Bumpy getting bigger and pushing my diaphragm up leading to acids going up my throat making it irritable! plus he said i have been leading a horrendous life style! waking up late, walking post lunch, having dinner late and the works. now i have to be out of the bed by 7! take my walk and stretch etc. then have breakfast and go to work!
day one was today and it went off okay! :) hope to continue the good work!
mayunk and me are getting very impatient now. i feel i have been pregnant forever! another 7 weeks to go atleast! looking forward to a happy n healthy full term Bumpy! touchwood!
love ya lots my sweetheart! you keep getting stronger! my tummy will accomodate you happily! :)
mmmmuuuaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!

revenge of the nerds! ;)
After the scary experience in the last check up, i made a weekend trip to Pune! My grand pa is there and hedoesnt travel anywhere much anymore. So i just took the chance to catch up with him as well as my inlaws who are also now settled in Pune.
Ajoba (grand pa) has suddenly aged... I mean he is almost 88 or something, but he used to be a fit man for his age. He still is, but he has gone down mentally. Since Aaji's death few years ago, lack of company makes him all dull and depressed. Not that he used to talk too much even then, but having a presence around is a better than being all alone. I guess its a question with no answer... It was good to spend some time with him, though both of us seemed to be competing about who slept more! :)
My in - laws came to see me too and got a birthday cake and gift to celebrate my birthday a few days in advance. It was nice seeing them again after ages and hope to spend some more time in future! :)
after that i came back to Mumbai and went for the blood tests doc had asked for. had to get my sugar checked after having 50gms of glucose and Thyroid etc. Got the reports and they were totally normal! :)
went to the doc the following day! he seemed a lot more OK once he saw my "normal" reports and that edge of paranoia was off his voice a bit! : ) then i asked him about the exercise bit, he scoffed anda sked if i was used to any?! i said yeah, i can still bend and touch my toes! He asked me totally shocked if i can still do it and that too without bending my knees! i said yes and showed it to him. oh! the espressions on his face were priceless!! i cudnt help but have a wide grin across my face!
he said go ahead and do whatever exercises u were doing, without any jerking kinda motion. The sad part is, i havent done any! :( i have started taking a 30mins manadatory walk at work post lunch. we have this nice shaded area where i can do the rounds and get SOME exercise at least.
having a routine and coming to work everyday etc, definately helps me stay saner, worry lesser and keep more active than what i usually would be. i have been allowed fairly flexi hours and its been quite comfortable.
rest all is well and all that.
Bumpy, i can feel you move l'il more often now. i cant feel some full blown kicks or anything but small ones.. more like wriggling all over. Hehe! you keep movin and shaking! love ya!

scans, scares and smiles
well! i did meet the new doctor! He was an Ogre! almost! My parents prefer calling him honest, if only brutally so! as always, absolutely everything was wrong. My BP shot up (i am sure stress of seeing him), he balked at my sugar level and mentioned I am grossly overweight just about 10 times!
then i told him that i dont feel movement too regularly. he was shocked and said i need to get an anomaly scan (abnormaility scan) done right away! my heart sank. i wondred is that why Bumpy has been so quiet, that i have been having this peaceful pregnancy. he reccoed us to an ultraosound doc and off we went. i was in tears thinking about the worst and the effect of his "honesty"
anywayz after a wait i was on the table and the doc started doing the test. i asked him tentatively "is it moving?" He said leme finish my work then i will show you the baby. I just nodded. It went on for a good half an hour in absolute silence other than the tap tap of his keyboard...
Finally he looked at me and said that all babies have 3 blood vessels in their umbilical cord - 2 arteries and 1 vein. But Bumpy has only one of each. This CAN lead to physical defects. Not always, but at times. I was wondering what next...
He said that if there were any issues, it would show up by now. But Bumpy is perfect! no worries! :) I have never felt so relieved in my life! it was one of the most tense moments of my life!
I felt like hugging the doctor who explained the whole thing so patiently and did his job so thoroughly! Just the way he spoke to me and reassured me made all the difference. God bless his sensitive soul.
Then he showed us (my parents and me) the scan... Bumpy from every angle with all its arm moving and sucking on its thumb and all such! my parents were really kicked and i obviosuly was!
Mayunk wasnt around, but he called me and managed to make me laugh before the scan. Only he can do it for me! :)
Bumpy - you are doing super! i am so so proud of you! :) look forward to seeing you soon! Doc said your growth is already a week advanced! so we might just see you earlier than expected. But theres no rush. You take your own time and get here only when you feel comfy. Its no trouble at all.
love you more each day! :)
hugs and kisses!

of moving cities and changing doctors!
havent posted anything ages! well what to do! Bumpy is being a surprisingly calm kid and there isnt much to say! i THINK i have started feeling a l'il movement, but its far too inconsistent for me to be sure! my backache is also pretty much in control though not always comfortable.
Folks are very excited to have me back home, to have our square complete! I am happy too! But i do miss Mayunk terrible and the thought of beinmg away from him for so long is kind of daunting and pulls me down... i am sure i will be ok soon and get used to it! and ofcos start enjoying my stay fully! :)
now i can relate to my mom who said she always wanted to come back home ASAP from anywhere, even her maika... i used to think what kind of a woman doesnt wnat to spend months at her maika getting pampered! but now that i have had a home of my own that i have come to run and love equally shared by Mayunk, i can understand the sentiment perfectly! :)
then comes the issue of choosing a new doctor! my doctor in bangalore, Dr. Sudha Ramesh is absolutely brilliant! i dont know about her skill levels or fame, but she always make me feel comfortable. she never panics and rather calms me down on rarae occassiona that i may seem to worry! and that i think is a hallmark of a great doctor! now the doc i am supposed to go to, i have met him coupla times earlier when i took second opinion when iw as having trouble conceiving!
he spelt paranoia esp in the first meeting making me feel as if i was ridden by incurable AIDS! and mayunk felt the same way. but after all the research, the final judgement is we should go to him! and both Mayunk and me are VERY apprehensive. Obviosuly! its very difficult to wash off that experience! yet my folks are quite keen that we start afresh, since as a doc he is the best!
then what is best really? someone who is the most accomplished or someone who is good at their work and make you feel good??!!
as a first time pregnancy which has been surprisingly calm inspite of PCOs which bring a host of issues with them, i guess everyone is wondering if it will be equally quiet during later stages also... and if it isnt gonna be by any god forsaken chance, they want the mosyt skilled doctor to take care of me, civility be damned!!
i am still battlinmg with my apprehensions of seeing him! and the fact that M feels the same way makes it double difficult! what i have now decided is to meet him once in any case. If i get similar jitters, i will insist on someone else who doesnt make me panic unnecessarily!
Bumpy, sweeatheart, i still cant feel you move much! that kinda worries me at times. Hope you are doing good and enjoying your stay! pray that the new doc doesnt continue to be the ogre he has been in our past experience! :p
Love ya lots n pots!
