Hey guys, I thought it would be cool for us to kick start our weeks with an update......I could think of the following questions to answer as part of our monday updates... let me know what you think......do let me know if you think the idea sucks too .... :)

How was your weekend? Anything coming up this week(doctors appointment, classes, exams, work related stuff, b'day, wedding day etc etc etc)
How far along are you?? Any new developments?? How are you feeling??

I can go first for this week...:)

My weekend was cool (actually it was HOT, it must have been a 100 degrees on both sat and sun)
I did go out on Saturday and look at baby cribs, bassinets, clothes and found them to be so sweeeeet.....I wanted to buy all of them....but instead I bought some much needed maternity pants (thanks Vindhya, I found some at Target)...
I also did a bit of packing (all my text books and school related stuff into boxes) cause we will be moving pretty soon....

I have nothing much coming up this week, except for the usual - going to work, cooking, pigging out, sleeping.....

I am in my 28th week and the only new visible development is that my tummy sure is getting bigger by the week....and the baby's kicks are getting harder by the day...which I hope he continues to keep doing.... :)

I've been feeling a bit blue and extremely irritated....trying my best to calm down and relax...

Thats' it for now.....I am sure I will have more to say as the week proceeds.....

-Avi M replied. Hey Avi, monday updates is a great idea..well, i had a nice weekend. On Sat we attended a first yr bday party of a lil girl, and there were kids of all ages around. It was fun just watching them play and eat the cake and crackers and stuff. And my friend had made a lot of goodies too, so enjoyed eating those :) Relaxed on Sun, and hubby had prepared a complete meal for me on Sun morn while I just slept! So that was great too.
It was a very hot weekend though, and today promises to be equally hot :( If there is one thing I can't stand its the heat :((
Got my docs appt today evening, hope everything is ok ! And hope that I haven't put on a lot of weight !!
Take care
M Arshiya replied. hi Avi,
Great idea. Good to hear that you have nice weekend. Saturday, whole day we were at the Santa Cruz beach/boardwalk. It was very pleasant weather, not too hot or cold. So, by end of the day I was very tired. Sunday, we went to our friend's daughter's namkaran puja. It was also good, this was the first time I had been to some namkaran puja.
But, by end of Sunday evening I was very tired and for some reason, I think baby was kicking me on the bottom (I guess!) which hurts a lot. So, I tried taking some rest, but at night my lower abdomen pain started and it was so severe that I couldn't even move my leg. Somehow, I managed it throughout the night, but couldn't sleep. Called sick at work today, to take some rest and maybe I will also talk to the doctor about it.
Have a great week.
Arshiya Priya replied. That's a really nice idea ! Well, you heard about the shower on saturday. That night, we went to a concert by Ali Akbar Khan and Zakir Hussein....fabulous! Sunday, we took it easy...we were spent with all the saturday excitement. I'll finish 30 weeks tomorrow. I have a doctor's appointment Thursday and also my last birthing class the same day.
I guess all else's fine.
Priya Simmi replied. Hi Avi. Lovely to hear that you had a nice weekend and ur idea of sharing is brilliant specially with our moods, we ought to have sharing with those who can relate to it best, those who r going through it themselves. My mood swings have been up and down too. Weekend was good but Sunday had in laws dinner to organise so got very tired and late to eat and late to sleep. Luckily Monday is a bank holiday so got time to sleep and catch up. Back to the grind tmw.
I'm in my 28th week and having kicks from the baby fairly often though not throughout the day. Nothing else to report right now, but sure am fun looking through stores and catalogues for baby stuff.
Have a great week ahead.
