Day 1

Dear Grandma and grandpa,

Just wanted you to know that I am on my way.

Love, Baby Giotra

This is how I has planned to tell your Dadaji and dadima about you. But as always in life, things never happen the way you plan them. We broke the news, rather awkwardly on the breakfast table and while I’m pretty sure each one of them were super happy, all they showed was relief. More like, thank God we didn’t have to pester our kids to plan a child before they got to old. Your Dadaji for the record is the nicest person I have ever known. Actually second to your dad. But Dadaji expresses his niceness. So after it all sunk in, and the word Junior Gilotra was flown around, the excitement became more evident. Dadaji promised to listen to everything I said and assured me from now on, its no stress only pampering for me!

But the sickness that came with the news. OMG! You little brat, it started with wommits, followed by nausea  and the anxiety. I decided to not tell your nana nani until the blood report was out. I knew they would be very very excited and while I was pretty sure the test was right considering all the sickness, I didn’t want to take a chance for Nanima is super hyper. She expresses each and every feeling with an added degree of excitement. 

So for now, its a mixed feeling of happiness and anxiety. Its tough to keep it from people around you and its just the first day! Hopefully it will get better. You be good ok?

Love you already!
