Upbringing Krisha

On the eve of Krisha’s next birthday, i am recollecting all the wonderful experiences that we gone through, both as parents and as a family.

We were in Zirakpur last year. Initially we were thinking of having a big blast and a huge party in some hotel. However, we decided not to go for that. Instead, we went to a orphanage where we celebrated Krisha’s Bday. More then us, I think it was Krisha who enjoyed the most.

This is the year when she learnt walking.

She truly enjoyed the holi

She has learnt – how to pose for the photographs

She started her play school .

She has started speaking. (Note to myself – need to put up a audio blog) . She speaks many words. Her vocabulary is increasing day by day. Its very different feeling to see her trying so hard in expressing herself. And then there was the scare of all her teeth getting rotten. Thank God that we got a second opinion. Otherwise doctor would surely had had her way to operate on her.

She already has a best friend.

Its her Birthday again. I wont be with her. And I am pretty sad about that. still.

I cant wait to see what all changes she would go through in the coming year.

Krish – Wish you many many happy returns of the day.

Luv you dear :).

What's in a name.... obviously he had not met any would be parents or people who had just discovered the parenthood.

Oh God.. its so much trouble and confusion. This name.. no no - that name.. oh i dont like that name. my cousine's brother's wife's cousin's son's father's mother's sister doesnt like this name.

So here we are. Zoe -> advita -> edha -> Krisha

(may be some more. I have forgotten).

We have zeroed in on Krisha.

Welcome aboard - Krisha Bansal.

Whether inside the womb or outside the womb, i agree, that size does matter. Lohit - i agree. 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 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.

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?????

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.

Now 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.

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. :)

The title sounds cool na!!!!!!! :P
well, its of the movie where a small baby girl makes 3 big smart flurt boys go on there knees!!!!!!!
smart of tht baby...;)

i guess even u wud b like her...... who wud make his dad go on his knee. toe, elbow & god knows on what all!!!! u shud b naughtorious.... mischievious.... u shud have springs in yr body so as u cud make yr smart mom more smarter & yr old dad (:P) younger!!!!!!
reading this yr dad wud kill me but tht wud b fun for me!!!!!

its said tht u will immitate me during these days in all ways, so i shud behave properly.... but u know if i behave like mature people than i m sure u'll miss the cuteness in u!!!!!!! (girls go ga-ga on cute guys; so u shud b cute na!!!! :P what say!!!!)
so i dance to tunes, fight with yr naughty, witty mama & play with yr wicked eyed nani!!!!(all these people will kill me for saying such...... but i know to make u a cool dude i can bear their eyes!!!) your nanaji is like your dad = matured, serious, not jovail.... so i guess one person of such kind is enough for you!!!!!!!!

i have even started with paintings... u never no u might b the future M.F.Hussain....
u cud b Sanjeev Kapoor also but for tht yr dad shud b near us so as u cud listen him cooking delicious recipes...... or what so ever u wanna become u can think of now as u hv ample of time inside the safe pouch of yr mummy's big tum-tum.....
otherwise once u r out yr dad will start with his verdict of "hey baby look at discovery, national geographic...; after all u r next "Rakesh Sharma" of India"
so b prepared....

u know yr dad thinks ki yr mom is busy doing nothing these days!!!
well, ab kaun unhe samjhaye ki yr mom is busy talking to her little genius, little champ!!!!
unke pass tu itna bhi time nahi ki apne baby ke liye ek post bhi likh de!!!!!!!
u c how's yr dad..... he's too busy with his work, his laptop, his movies & especially his sleep!!!! my poor baby doesnot comes in his list....
u & i shall take full revenge from him for his negligence towards u!!!!!!!!!
its a deal now...
u & i will go for movies, adventure camps & holidays & shall leave him alone at home with his laptop!!!!!
hahaha.........Oh poor Dad!!!!!:(
i luv u mom.... u r the best!!!!!!!!
thanks my baby... mom luvs u 2, 3 , 4, 5..... infinity!!!!!! :X ( a big huggy for u!!!!)

i can understand u wanna wathc "Chakde" again ......
(just like dAD......likes to watch sexy girls...... ohhh god!!!!!!!!! nadan ko bacha lena dono baab bete ko akaal dena...... "ye ladkiye nahi aasaan"......)

well, my small dearo flamingo baby.... ye sahi nahi....:)

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????

jab pheli baar confirm hua ki the test is positive, i just cud not believe ki i m pregant.... laga ki how cud i carry a small baby in me....
but jaise jaise days pass hote ja rahe hia ab acha lagne laga hia.... now i think ki mera baby ab kya kar raha hoga?how wud he look & how wud i talk to him & react to his mischiefs?????
mann mei itne sawal hia & itni baate hia ki bus....
i want ki baby healthy ho... cutey pie ho.. :P
phele tu darr lagta tha ki how will AKB react to baby's birth but with passing time his excitement is increasing.... acha lag raha hia jaan ke ki even he has some emotions for his baby!!!!!
guess AKB wud b a better parent than i... as i know i will b the spoiling part & he wud be the practical hitler part... :)
phele jab vomits hoti thi than i used to feel ki why did i got into all this.... but ab apne baby ko apne pass rakhne ka dil hota hia...
aaj when i m writing about m feelings i can feel something moving slighlty in my tum tum....
shayad ye hi baby movements hia... aaj subha bhi when i was half asleep i got a blow in my stomach... i think tht was baby's first kick......
so phir aaj ka day tu rememerable hua na.... :)

kabhi lagta hia ki i m carrying a baby tu kabhi mei bilkul hi bhool jati hu... kabhi mei dance karne lagti hu tu kabhi i m running.... lagta hia aajkaal overexcited ho gayi hu...
suit pehen kar tu i actually feel i m pregy.... but in western vo feeling hi chali jati hia...
kitna difference hia na...
chalo gn....
