Hi Avi. Thx for ur wishes. I am still struggling with the cold but back to work and glad I am able to sit up and chat to you guys again. Missed you all tons.
Despite the illness had a hectic weekend, so much to sort out before the little one arrives.
Have been having lower abdomen pain since last night, hope it is fatigue and nothing else!
You suggested u had loads of girl names in mind, pls tell me ur favourites. At least it will help me short list girl names. For now the stock is completely empty. And any suggestions I make, hubby dearest asks mil and she objects. I told him that we should wait until we r really sure and that we ought to keep the name anyways. So let's hope we agree on the two names before the baby is here. Don't want to waste any time, as soon as the baby is born, we should register the baby with that name instantly. Family will learn to like it. I'm sure that is the right way.
Btw, how are u finding things staying home...putting ur feet up? Hope you are enjoying taking it easy, v.imp to keep ur energy levels up. I still have a mth to go before I take time off but hopeful I will get some rest before babes decides to come in to the world.
Hope to stay in touch regularly now.
Simmi Avi replied. Hey Simmi, glad to hear from you... WAs wondering if you were alright cause I didn't get to hear from you after you said that you were sick....
Good to hear that you are feeling better....
I hope the stomach ache has reduced too, it must be all the work you've been doing around the house....
mum's need rest too, so do rest up.. :)

I think we will be better off letting the family know after picking a name, like you said, cause it causes nothing but frustration when we really like a name and they just seem to push it aside without any concern (in my case atleast)... I was running the name Arin by my mom and she says, it sounds like the metal Iron... I didn't know whether to laugh at her or yell.. Arin & Iron.. beats me :)

Girls names, I like the short ones and some not too short ones too.. Ria, Sia, Neesha (Nisha), Ira, Nina, Reva, Anushka, Prerna, An(n)ika, Nidhi, Mahika, Nitika.... I love your name too - Smriti...

I've been doing ok at home so far.... I've been chatting with Vindhya a lot (since you guys are sleeping while I am wide awake)...:), watching tv (discovery channel - deliveries) and eating and thinking about what to eat and nothing much else.. :) I am kinda enjoying being a bum and we'll see if I still feel the same in a couple more days...

A month will go by pretty soon and then you wont have too much time left before your boy/girl decides say Hi in-person to his mommy and daddy... So get lots of rest now whenver you get a chance...

You take care...

Love
-Avi
