Size does matter.....

Whether inside the womb or outside the womb, i agree, that size does matter. Lohit - i agreeWinking. e.g. last week when suchita went for her scan, radiologist could not measure the actual length of the baby and gave Jan 21 as delivery date. it would have changed everything specially for poor Suchita, who by now is completely tired and bored. i hope (if the kid is a boy) that we borrows the physical traits from her mom's mamas.

Now baby should have following characterstics (taken from http://www.babycenter.in/)

baby_9 Baby will weigh a hefty 6 to 9 pounds/ 2.7 to 4.1 kilograms and measure somewhere between 19 and 22 inches/ 48 and 56 centimetres.

Hopefully our baby would be in the normal range.

Now Question :

Will i be confident enough to lift baby in my hands on the first day? I hope that i will not cause any harm. When will suchita come back home.

I am finally going to North on Dec 22. My fligh will reach somewhere around lunch time and then in the evening i will reach my destination.

Hopefully suchita will also reach destination of her journey soon.

 

But as i said before SIZE DOES MATTER.

How much is enough?????

Well, now the days are near.....
u never know when the news may come..... all r just counting days...


where all r busy with last minute preparations, my mind is busy questioning "how will v groom our kid?"

one friend of ours' had suggested that there are two ways in which a kid can be groomed...
either its the parents who raise the kid or its otherwise where the kid plays the role of a parent and parents follow to what kids decide.... both ways have its own positives & negatives....
not any one way is perfect in its own way....


u cannot be too strict with the kid & behave as if he/she is a mature person to understand u well...
neither can u always agree to what the kid says or thinks...
u need to manipulate the kids behaviour as per the situation... so as once he's grown up he / she is a good person with soft courageous heart to face all the hardships of life....


now the big question is how will a parent know as to what is the correct way for there kid???
are they keeping a balance between both the ways..... or they r in the same boat like the gen-Y parents where kids make the parents go around their all demands as they hardly have time from there busy schedule and they substitute their love towards their kid with agreeing to what he/she says....


but than does it means that mothers who stay at home after the baby learn to be a better parent than a working mother who spends her maximum time in coperate world & by the time she reaches home she is too exhausted.....


this is a big query which still needs a good research....

while i was going through google on this matter i found some interesting works...


i came cross a point where a large number of parent associates their kid's good behaviour with rewards in form of money... quite strange... isn't it???
how could one always relate good behaviour with money... what standards they have set to quantify the behaviour in terms of its goodness????


Before we pay a child for anything children are normally expected to do, we need to think about our values, what we are trying to teach, and what decision we want our children to be making.
If the parents are deliberately grooming their kid to believe that he has to be a star, may be the pay-for-score is a good tactic.


But if they believe that money defines one’s self-worth, the payments may promote that attitude. If they are just trying to be good parent and let their son or daughter know they appreciate them, they may want to ask themselves questions about what they want their children to learn.


i was shocked to learn this way as i always believe in what my parents have taught me....

My dad still says: “Tell them (kids) what they did well first, then tell them how to do something better. Don’t criticize. Kids are supposed to be playing for fun.”.... Akb for u especially... :P


Lets see as to how good parent me & Akb will prove to be....
all fingers are crossed.....
hope we follow what are parents had followed in there times & made us such wonderful people.... :)

Last days!!!!!

Its a nice feeling of motherhood but this last trimester is too tiresome...
though i keep myself busy with my painting, household work and my morning & evening walk....
but still i m bored to eternity...


i need an adventureous vacation soon after delivery...
hopefully Akb ke pass time ho tabh...
as i guess he's the busiest father/ husband on earth.....
hardly has any time for us...


well, now a days i dream a lot...
sometimes i play with a sweet little angel & the other day i m playing with a naughty boy...
i always see my baby talking to me...

i at times think of how would i raise my kid???? will i be a soft mother or hard one...
kuch samjh nahi aa raha...
how will i behave???
only time will tell i guess...


i daily plan as to how shud i decorate the baby's room?
shud it hv jungle look (rough tough baby) or a sea look (calm baby)....
or a fairy look for our sweet little angel... all confused...
Akb never helps in this decision...
he thinks its bit too early to decide on this matter...

but i think its right time to decide so as i can prepare the things accordingly...
i wanna do the room all by myself... i m also in mood to paint the baby's room all by myself...
so planning to go to market today & purchase some creative paper & start the work...
lets hope how it goes?????

Ambala and Suchita

There was a time when i didn't want to marry a girl from Ambala :P. Now my new generation will also be from Ambala. Being from Ambala though has its own advantages. I love that ambala chats and food. i hate ambala galis. i like it for its size and pace of life. at the same time - you don't like it for having nothing for entertainment.

Suchita - dont worry. Now as you are married to a Chandigarh Person, you are much better :P

Bangalore... I am fedup

too much traffic, too much pollution. More then that - people don't even try to show some common sense.

As if this was not enough, we have wonderful governing agencies and awesome politicians. Politicians are always fighting for power. Agencies always have some excuse - we don't have funds.

I ask - how come the road made by you break in just 2 months. where is the quality check? Water has so much dirt/soil. People just take you for ride.

Good points : I have found very good friends here in Bangalore. Wherever I go, would like to be in touch with them. Thanks to all my friends.

I don't want my baby to grow in this environment. Probably time has come to think about my life/family and career now. I have made many decisions in isolation. I guess that with a kid - all that will change.

Come and come on time.. we all are waiting for you eagerly. Your father tries to be punctual. I hope that you will borrow that trait from me and not from your mom Tongue

Diwali and Suchita

Finally I was able to see Suchita during my so called Diwali vacation. She has gained weight, still she is very healthy. 

In fact now as I have been successful in reducing weight, I was able to comment and for first time she couldn't give me back. However i am sure that now it is matter of days before things become as they were before.

CrossedNow she is in 33rd week. We are almost there. just few - may be 5-6 weeks more. All fingers crossed.  I think that even I am becoming superstitious now. I just hope that I do not go overboard. Suchita has told me that now baby movement has reduced a lot. I guess baby should be around 2 KGs now.

What kind of father I would be? I really don't know. I have my opinions, knowledge. What i want my kid to be. I don't know. whatever he/she becomes, i want my kids to enjoy life.

Bachelorhood

These days almost everybody that meets me or calls me, asks this question, "or phir, bachelorhood enjoy kar rahe ho" (So, Enjoying your bachelorhood again?). I just smile. Whatever answer i am going to give, other person would have some deep insights about the opposite.

I am not enjoying. Full Stop. Its different being with a companion. today when I go home, often there is no body. Thanks to Ritu, sometimes she comes to stay over. 

But then, it is a mandatory separation and I understand that. It was required for well being of Suchita and Baby. It was a practical decision and I will never regret it.

Though.. I miss baby's kicks, heartbeat, Joy of seeing her tummy grow :P.

This bachelorhood is not same as before marriage. At that time my priorities were different. I had different set of friends (read unmarried). There were essentially no worries. And there was no companion. It can never be same.

Though this opportunity has given me some free time. I have joined a group - TiE. I have been able to listen to many industry leaders and their insights about Entrepreneurship and other topics.

coming back....

Wait has started.. :)

Babbling

Babbling is a stage in child language acquisition, during which an infant appears to be experimenting with uttering sounds of language, but not yet producing any recognizable words.  Babbling begins at approximately 5 to 7 months of age, when a baby's noises begin to sound like phonemes.

I think I have gone too much into future. Lets talk about it now. Am I excited? Yes!! I am.  I have been skeptical at times, may be worried also. However, Now I am happy and excited.

Sometimes I feel that I little too much excited. I am reading everything about pregnancy and kids. I may be reading little too much still  I like to read. This way I have been able to calm Suchita on many occasions. Still, as all good wives, she does not seem to believe in most of the stuff that I tell her. However, if same thing is told to her by doctor or somebody else.. :).  But its ok. As long as she is healthy, I do not have any issues.

I have changed also. I have been able to control my anger in much better way now. I have become a lot relaxed. I tend to remain upbeat and happy. I am taking care of the home in much better way now.

lets c - what i have babbled in here. :)

how it all happened????????

it was when AKB was hospitalised for stone pain, when first time seeing his blood i almost fainted.... v both got some hint there itself but since he was having severe pain v didnot gave any serious thought to our developing baby....
not only this i was running all around in the hospital.... anware of the new change in our life... later when things got confirmed tht v became consious of the fact......

thereafter things totally changed....

i got bed rest for 1 month & had to be at home all time...

i used to think earlier ki jab mera baby hoga than i'll work & will remain active but hardly i knew ki meri tabiyat itni kharab ho jaegi...

for the first trimester i was vomiting too much... i cud hardly eat anything & was very irritating...

but thanks to AKB as he was always next to understand this & help me out...

it was a surprise for me as he was never in favour of having baby so soon... he always wanted to wait for 3-4 yrs so as we could complete his MBA & than hv his baby...

his behaviour seemed to b contradictary to his thoughts.... he was more excited than me...


may b i was going through physical pain so just cudnot relish the first trimester with my baby... but things r changing now....

i would say the most imp change which i noticed was the growing warmth in my relation with AKB... even after more than 2 yrs of marriage i had a belief tht v cudnot relate to reach other....

we wud fight on petty issues....

but with the baby coiming in our life; the motto behind fights have changed...

though we still fight... u c human nature can never change.... ;)


but now AKB & i have more friendly relation rather than the traditional wife-hubby one...

He has started sharing his thoughts & views....he is more expressive now...

though at times he's still the same stubborn mid-aged lad..... :(
he's become little childish... not tht old matured papa.......saying hey why can't u sit quietly in one corner....


lets c how things move further...

lagta hia sab change ho jaega.... AKB akb nahi rahenge & mei mei nahi rahoungi...

Agar AKB meri tara ho jaenge tu maza aa jaega...or agar mei AKB ki tara ho gayi tu hamari life mei se "Fight" word hi khatam ho jaega....
whats yr saying on this AKB????
