Hi sweetheart!
How you doing? Moms becoming golu golu now.. and while many people say I'm not showing too much, the weighing scale begs to differ!
Today i stumbled upon some of daddy and mine old letters and I spent half my day reading them. We had a beautiful love arranged marriage. Daddy used to live in London when we were introduced and we used to spend hours on skype chatting and then daddy would write me a long email and I would wake up and read it first thing in the morning. My reply would be just as long and we were in love even before we met! Those emails we exchanged are the best gift daddy has every given me and I love reading and re reading them!
I hope these letters I write to you will someday bring a smile to your face just like all these moments have brought a smile to our face all these months. I'm now in my 7th month. In fact there is a small snippet 'd love to share with you.
I started 7th month on Satuday and went to the gurudwara with vadde dadima on Sunday. There in langar they served meethe chawal which traditionally in Sikh households is fed to the mom to be in 7th month and is considered to be auspicious. Daddy's family doesnt believe in it and while nani wants to do it, my shower is planned for 8th month as of now and she is confused whether to do it or not. I was so thrilled to see meethe chawal in the langar that I almost had tears in my eyes. Babaji has always given me what I have wanted in life and this was his way of blessing me I feel. Isnt that cool? We are very very lucky my love :*
Chalo now stop smiling and get back to work! Mummy has to go to the dentist today! Ouch...
Love u!

No more chocolates!
Hi my little angel,
Did u enjoy your latest photo session?? We thoroughly did and are happy to have your first 3 D images and videos!! Daddy and me saw you at the clinic and yet couldn't wait to see the videos again when the CD came! I have a very pretty name in mind for u.. but daddy's still not agreeing on it. Let's c what happens finally!
Mummy also got her 2nd tetanus shot and some blood tests done. With gods grace all levels are fine! But doctor gave me a good firing on my weight. I've put on 8 kgs in 3 months! It's all the chocolates we've been indulging in!
Now we'll control ok?
Love you!

3D scan
hi baby!
My jaan.. how u doing? It's time for your monthly photo session!! I'm at the docs clinic and planning to do a 3D scan to get a closer look at you! Very excited mummy is!
Mummy has also been sporting a pretty visible bump now and everyone I meet goes awwww.. good news ;) And then there is the usual it's a boy it's a girl debate... !! It's fun to see people guessing and make remarks either ways!
I've also been watching videos of little kids swimming and doing ballet. Pay attention ok.. it's a lot of fun! Also ignore the temple run game I play and concentrate more on the Einstein quizzes I solve... I know it's tough but it's better for us! :/
Our month no 7 is soon going to start and that's considered to be an auspicious month. For you and me it's just another month to have fun and bond!
Btw what's all that kicking and juggling at night? mummy needs proper sleep no. Be thoda considerate! Not that I don't enjoy it but sometimes it wakes me up. So slow down when I'm asleep ok?
My sweetheart baby!
Take care.. grow healthy and keep smiling ok?
love you

Planning our shower and more
Hi my munchkin,
Looks like you love to somersault in mummy's tummy! The other day you kept me awake all night.. kicking me every time I tried to sleep! You naughty lol brat! I still love u :*
Mummy's been looking at baby clothes and planning our baby shower. This weekend daddy and me are going to check out venues and then finalise the theme. I want this shower to be something special, something people will remember for a long time! Anyway daddy's against typecasting baby's into blue and pink so we are planning a hawaiin theme! It will be a nice and colourful affair! What do you think?
I'm also trying to get a live guitarist to the event. I have a feeling you will love music.. like daddy!
I'm also looking at birth announcement messages.. I know it's too early but you know how excited we are to have you na :*
Baby centre says you can hear us. Can u? Niyati Didi keeps talking to you... in fact she has stopped looking at my face she just looks at my tummy while talking! It's hilarious!
Btw we did a small shoot with you our lil bump in Sri Lanka. Will show u the pics when u grow up. I'm sure you'll love them. I'm dressed in a Greek style white long dress and am posing by the trincomalee beach. What fun it was!
Love u jaan!

Live Laugh Love
Hi my little one!
I can feel your moments more so often now and that makes me believe you are enjoying the holiday! Arent you?
You know jaan me and daddy love you and this vacation has been great for us to catch up with each other.. discuss you.. and simply relax and indulge in things we like. We've eaten a lot of good food, stayed at the best hotels and lived laughed loved! It's been one of our more enjoyable holidays and we are now looking forward to travel with you in the future. We've been taking notes from other travelers who are with kids, mentally noting dos and donts and even discussing what we will and won't do. Isn't that sweet?
As for you.. I was reading that because my body is relaxed I can feel your movements more often and clearer. Daddy still has a doubt that I'm making this up or hallucinating or something but I know it's you. My heart says so. :*
Love u jaan!

Upbringing puzzles
Hi jaan!
How u doing? We are now at the domestic airport of Colombo waiting to board our flight to paradise beach Trincomalee on the East coast! And here there are some foreigners and their kids who are running around while the parents are least concerned. Eventually the kids come back to the parents and give them a hug. I think that's a good style of parenting that you let your kids be and they become responsible on their own. The problem with doing that in India is that elders think you are being irresponsible and many times you are treated to disgusted looks. Here people don't let their kids be! I can even imagine family members finding it embarrassing if children make noise. It's a common sight to run behind your child as he or she explores the new place it is in.. continuously giving instructions like don't touch that it's dirty and don't do that you will get hurt. Too much fear in our upbringing.
While I can't promise to be like the cool foreigners I do promise to make my best effort to allow you to grow in your own space and explore the world with your own senses and not mine.
All this brings out such questions on what style of parenting I would like to give you! It's complicated for sure!
Chalo you don't worry about all this and enjoy your kicking and sleeping routine! mamma loves u!

Crepes and more
Hello baby!!
How u doing? Enjoying Sri Lanka? I can see you are being pampered a lot! So much yummy yummy food and desserts. Wasn't the banana crepe we had in Galle outstanding? It's been my favourite so far! Right now we are architect Geoffrey Bawa's country home now operated as a 7 suite hotel. It's very peaceful and calm out here and there are acres of gardens around the property. At Galle we were staying in a villa with a private pool and I couldn't stop imagining how much you'd love the pool and would never want to come out! such a darling u r going to be :*
Chalo gtg for the garden tour!
Love u
