Hey guys.......I am officially back....and boy am I glad....I missed our board..

Welcome to Jaya from the South bay (another bay arean..thats so cool) and pranjal and Manisha...glad to have you here......

The last 5 days were pretty hectic for me....the result : my feet are like those of a baby elephant, my knees have a mind of their own now and my back, well you can iron you clothes on it.it feels that tight and hard....but glad we are done (poor hubby did all the carrying)...now, we have to unpack :(...

Anyways.......waiting to hear updates from all of u.. How are you all doing????? HOw were your weekends???

I will catch up with all your messages as soon as I get done with some work I have do here..

Avi replied. Thanks you guys..for taking me back with open arms :)

Nikita, I can imagine how hard it must have been for u to go through the moving process... I was literally in tears when I looked at how much we had left to do... I am glad we are done and yeah, unpacking can be done at its own pace...
Good to know that your hubby is doing all the carrying ... :) that is sweet..make sure you dont dont overexert yourself during the move to India.. I am excited for you though, you will get to be with your family and friends and have lots of fun... :)

Simmi, you are right... I have a strange feeling that the baby might choose rush hour traffic.. I hope not..Lets keep our fingers crossed.. :)
I keep freaking out about my weight gain too but then I think of how many weeks there are left and feel better...
Unlike you, I feel like a Penguin when I look at my structure and my walk :), a duck is cuter I think....

I did read about the extra calorie intake too and I've been trying my best to do so.. hope you are too..

Thanks again you guys....TAke care.. :) Simmi replied. Hey Avi. Thrilled to have u back....missed our chat! Glad to hear the move went well, but do take it easy now. Unpacking can happen at its own pace! Let ur hubby dear rest too, u both will need the energy in less than two mths...can u imagine.....time is just flying!!
I feel huge though, am dreading gaining more weight though it is inevitable! Doc dont' weigh us here so no diagnosis on that front from them.
Anyways, wanted to share a thought about my hospital...it is not too far but is near a football (soccer) stadium and match r usually on wednesday evenings and saturday afternoons! So hoping I don't go in to labour on a match day or I sure will get stuck in traffic! But knowing babes, what I am dreading might come true. Fingers crossed!!
Have been reading that we ought to eat at least 300 calories more in the next 7 weeks as baby needs more fat to grow from 4 pounds to 7-8 pounds....so trying to get healthy recipes ready!!
Take care of ur baby elephant feet...I feel like a waddling duck when I walk!!
Nikita replied. Hi Avi,

Glad to have u back in action.

It must have been really tiring for u and ur hubby to move in such heat. Don't worry about settling down and do it slowly. Believe me it never gets over. We moved almost 3 weeks back and i'm still settling down. So don't rush.

Sorry to hear about, swelling and backache. Try to increase ur fluid intake, it really helps. And take lots of rest.

Do keep us updated on ur appointment and hospital visit.

Take care.

Nikita. Vindhya replied. Hi Avi,

I am so happy to see your message. I've been smiling ever since I saw your messages. I missed your little bean's update.

Hey, how was the move? Your hubby must be tired too. Unpack at your own pace, I am sure you will settle down soon.

How is your new place? Is it near your hospital?

I was looking for an iron board, I am glad I found it. Just kidding... Regarding your back and knee, just take lots of rest. I am sure they'll start listening to you soon. My feet are swollen too, I used to be worried when they were normal.

Did you have your weekly appointment? Mine is on Oct 3rd.

Isn't it great to see lot of new members?

Vindhya
