Lazzy dadda

Daddu has been lazy and not posting my updates.

Can't blame him completely this not so jice site was giving trouble and then he broke his phone.. so hang on I shall post my pics soon!

Meanwhile just know that I am 6 months old now and have a mind of my own. Love listening to daddu's voice and react the most to it. Have my preferences of food... mommy hates me for that! I make her eat stuff she hates! She limes ginger now! Hehehehe...

Had a nice trip to chennai and and teoubled mommy dearest as much as I could! Okay that's not the truth.... I was a nice baby.

Btw I have gained a lot of weight and mommy has a nice cute tummy tucking out now!

Grampy and Grammy call me bachchu amd my chachu wants to call me honey... forgetting that vrinda bhua is called honey! Duh!!!

So hang on till next post when I post my pics!

And yes.. the name is Gampusi!

I am my dadda's child

Well atleast that's what my mommy keeps saying!

And it is not for no reason. I have the traits of liking things dadda likes. Mommy hates udad dal. I loved it when she tasted it. I like lunia nimbu and just love fresh feuits and raw veges! Mommy is surprised she is able to eat stuff she hates!

For the very fact that mommy has been eating a few things not so nice for me or things I don't like... I trouble her. She deserves it :p

Now that she is being more careful I am being nice to her. Her meds also don't trouble me as much now. Of course the lovely doctor aunty (remember she loves me too) changed meds for me... and yeah for mommy too.

She wants to see how much I have grown in the last month and is getting a special scanning done later today. I am going to be just fine... and she will love me even more after that! After all she say "boys are so boring" and dadda also wants me to be a sweetie pie gurl!

So what am I? Yeah right. What's the hurry? When I am not in a hurry to grow up and come out early you keep the suspense on too!

I am a spoilt brat already. So what! :-p

I already have my attitude

So I have been troubling mommy. Making her do things she never imagined. Making her eat things she never liked! That's the way I like it!

Dadda, (yup that's the correct spelling. Anything else used in past cannot be cont.. any further, and if you have a problem with that please read it again) has been talking a lot. He really thinks I hear everything he says. Passes off his ideas of what mommy should change as if a conversation with me! I think he is high on something.....

BTW... my great granny is in town. Love her presence. So is my granny aunt! You should see their faces when acknowledging my presence!

Granny had been going thru trouble with her knee. Is getting it fixed soon! Says she wants to be fit by the time I make her run around! But will not stop dying her hair! Vanity... thy name.....

Granpa (the d from here went off to dadda) does not say much but does things out of the way as if it was matter fact! Bought kiwis for me, keeps doting on mommy, and thinks no one notices!

I am finding my space.... somewhere there.... doc wants me to be scanned by mid sep...her way of saying she too loves me. This time is to ensure I am fit and fine.... like always.... but a little more rigorously. I should have my spine growing this time in the pic! Yeah! Stop smiling and wait for the picture! Elders I say!

Whatev'.... now go back to whatever you were doing! I am busy growing up!

I have a heartbeat!

Okay.. Mommy was getting a little too jittery about me! Why.. go ask her!

Actually she was too anxious about how I was growing? What I look like? Am I really there also or was the test just a blip in her hormonal anomalies!

So instead of 6th mommy decided to get me checked out on 4th Aug!

So here's the proof I existed!

Doctor says I am all of 6.8mm in this picture of mine! My first! About 6 weeks 4 days with a heart beat of 140 /min!

She loves me too along with Grannys, Grandaps, uncles, aunties and the whole wide world! So my next photo session has been scheduled for September mid to check if I will be born like any other normal baby or have special abilities!

Meanwhile mommy has started meditating more often for me to be born with calm head like Dadu! She wishes I have eyes and lips like hers... Nose like dadu... punctuality like her dad... bubbliness like someone... everything like someone one in the family! Basically the best of everyone! As if I am a concentrated juice of them all!

However my granny is worried I should not be lazy like mommy and dadu! :P

Everybody is nervous

What else do you expect!

The report was positive but I was too small to be seen on a scan. Doc's best guess about two-four weeks. So mommy was to come back sometime in first week of August to actually see my heart beat if I was 4 weeks already!

Everyone was elated.  But cautiously quiet. No one outside was told but my bua guessed knowing the symptoms mommy was showing! I was coming after four and a half year wait.

Mommy had not been showing symptoms of early stages of having me... or so granny felt. Then just to clear all doubts mommy did a home test on 31 st August. Yeah! I passed that test too.

And then... I was officially announced to the near and dear ones! The tears of joy were heard even over the phones! Excitement was difficult to contain for most.... but my dadu!

I guess he was still waiting for the scans!

Ish Pish Masi wrote something for me... you too can read it below!

Finally, you're not a secret anymore. You've only existed for a few days, and until a couple of days ago, I was annoying your mom (my sister) by saying that she is pregnant. It's been hard waiting til I could announce you to everyone I know! 

You see, you're coming at a very good time, Baby. This family could use some good news. Because of you, we know that life goes on and that love passes down from one generation to the next. All the things we love about each other matter. All the people who've shaped your parents' lives will now, indirectly, shape your life. Your brand new, barely begun, still "knitting together" life. 

You can't even imagine how many people will want to hold you: names and faces you'll learn over time. We're all eager to shine our love onto you, cradle you in our arms (smiling too big to speak), hoping all the best for you and your unknown future.

I've been learning that LIFE, all this breathing and heart-beating, eating and sleeping, the living we're all so preoccupied with, is just the tip of the iceberg. It's temporary. Tiny bodies grow, get bigger and stronger, then smaller and weaker, and eventually, there are last words and final breaths. But nothing is lost.  Eternity still contains our souls. Your Saddu Nanu is so happy but he doesn't show. Your Sampat Nani won't get the chance to hold you on this side of heaven, but you'll learn about the space she left behind. Your Nani, has been crying ever since she's heard the news. Your Massi, Me, has been jumping and trying to break the house. They're still members of the family, just absent for now.

You've barely just appeared from eternity, into our here and now. Because we can't see you yet, you still seem magical and unreal. We look forward to hearing your voice and holding your hand.

Thank you, tiny Baby miracle. You're about to change everything.

See you in March/April,

Ichu Machi

And I was christened Gampusi!

I had been troubling mommy for a few days. To the point that she had severe cramps four days in a row! That's when dadu and she decided to go visit the doc.

Momsie has had a series of problems and the doc suggested a blood test for the day and a scan the following day. A procedure was to follow a week later.

Just for second opinion they went to another specialist. These guys sounded money minded. They both hated her.

The next day (16 July) mommy went for her scan. The doc called dadu to tell that they had to meet her asap... mommy's blood report was positive and the scan was not needed! She was immediately called back from the scan center... though a bit nervous at the news and jittery to drive... she made it home. Dadu told granny the positive report and she was immediately over the moon. Gave him a huge hug and became a child. Stomped her feet in short steps in joy. Gave a booty shake. One that dadu had never seen earlier. Wow.

The doc confirmed that mommy was having me! But it was too early and they had to wait a few weeks to see me in the scan.

Granda was told about me later that day. Every one was happy but sceptical. They had been waiting for me for a long time. Dadu more sceptical than anyone. He had the coldest face and least emotions.

That night dadu named me Gampusi! Mommy approved of it.

So what if I was just a clump of few cells right now they had no clue I could see, feel, hear and sense everything thru mommy!
