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
