A letter to my little one

Little Munnu,

I can't wait to hold you and kiss you but all the pregnancy books say you need to stay in there for few more months so all the growth and developments happens. So hang in there till your time comes. I have so many dreams about you. I imagine holding you wrapped in a white cloth. I wonder how I will react. Will I cry seeing you or jump out in joy. I imagine touching your tiny little fingers. I imagine feeding you. I imagine how cute you will be rubbing your small nose with those tiny hands. I imagine you crying, laughing, smiling, staring, hugging and burping. I imagine you trying to turn to lie on your stomach. I imagine bathing you. I imagine you crawling down the hall and turning back to see me and smile proudly that you have achieved a mile stone. I imagine you trying to stand up and try taking those first few steps. 

Oh.. my life as changed from the time you were conceived. Its been like living in a fairy land expecting the arrival of a cute, little, innocent one. I am not sure if you are a he or she. My guess is you are a boy and your dad feels you are a girl. Lets see who guessed it right. I am assuming you would look like you dad, big  eagle nose. I don't expect you too be fair since both me and your dad are dark skinned. But I know you will be a very cute baby and our baby. There are lot of people anticipating your arrival. You are blessed with a big family, grandpas, gandmas, cousins, uncles, aunties. So get ready to get pampered.

I have been trying to eat and maintain a lifestyle as healthy as possible. If I was short of anything, I am sorry. You must be wonder why does it feel like caught in a turbulence sometime, it just me exercising to keep you healthy. I read that your taste buds have developed and you can hear well. I think by now you would be accustomed to my voice. How does it sound in there? I don't have a melodious voice. But I hope you love the stories I tell you. Are you hearing your dad speak? I wish you grow up like your dad, calm and composed. You have been the best baby I guess. I never vomited or felt nauseous. It been a smooth ride so far. I think you are growing fast, your kicks are getting stronger and I feel so happy every time you kick. 

We are preparing for your arrival. We have planned to buy you a crib and a rocker. We have shopped for you some body suits, tees, sleep suits, socks, booties, mittens, bibs, leggings, towels, swaddle, beds, and toys. Everything looks so cute. There are other things coming from your uncle and grandpa. I will be having the baby shower next week and then will be leaving to your granny's house. 

I wish and pray that you arrive on the ideal time, healthy and good. I can't express how much I love you already. Anticipating your arrival

Love

Mom.

  

Being Pregnant - A full time job

I am constantly being advised by my friends and family to take rest during the pregnancy since after the baby is born it would be crazy time. Hmmm.. Seriously, even during pregnancy I feel I am so much occupied. Its a hard time remembering everything I have to do and eat, and accommodating all the must do is quiet a puzzle. Its simple to say eat healthy, eating healthy really require a lot of work. All the healthy food requires some effort and are not available on order like junk food. I have realized one thing from being pregnant for the past 28+  weeks, Pregnancy is a full time job. Anyway, I have finally realized and framed a routine for myself that works good with me. How to develop a pregnancy daily plan:

1. List down all the things to do like walking, eating dry fruits, drinking milk or doing Kegels etc

2. Allot a time to each activity like morning walking between 6 to 7 for 30 mintues

3. Don't do too much at the same time

4. Keep reminders in you phone or laptop. esp. for medicines

5. Before going to bed check all the things to do

6. If not complete any particular day, always think I can do it tomorrow, for a good nights sleep

Its time for my protein shake now. So leave your comments. How do you manage a pregnancy routine?
