Dear friends,

I am finally back!! Looks like no one missed me at all and am feeling very very very sad about it. I did not have access to a pc and nearly everyday used to think about the group as I have become so attached to it. Looks like we have a lot of new members. Havent been able to read all the msgs yet, so am not sure what is going on in everyone's lives. Will catch up soon. Komal I saw your betiya rani's swin snaps-she is so nice and sweet and cooperative. Badmaash to kahi se nahi lagti hain woh. Where did you buy that floating thing from re? Sush, also saw Tia'a summer snaps and she looks great. Good weight too. Glad to know that you are moving too. Must have been really hard to be alone na? Vani, congrats on the move, at least life will be a little simpler now. Am sorry to hear about your mom re. And do bathe Rishi every day. I know you must be having any energy after coming back from work but an easier way to do it is to put him in the shower with you or Shyam. One will have to be outside to hold him after the shower and get him ready. We have been doing this since R was 3 months as Puneet always wanted to have a shower with his son. Even I like it. Abhi hotel mein yehi kare the all days. And after the shower, you can give him a quick lotion massage...he will feel nice and fresh. You really dont need to use any soap on them at all now. Hope this helps..
Our trip was kind of mixed. The first 4 days were pretty bad as I was all alone in the hotel. Had gone with all these dreams of being able to put face masks and take care of ME for once, and put all of R's snaps in the album etc as there would be no housework. But R did not adjust well at all. The moment I would put him down on the bed, he would scream as if usko laal cheeti kaat rahi ho. He would be happy outside in the stroller so I would take him for long walks and do shopping etc. It was kinda nice as I got to be alone with myself but there it wasnt that nice too as I would miss Puneet (first kind of a vacation when we went together but he wouldnt be there as he had his conference) and I always had R's resposibility..ie coming back to the hotel to feed and change him. R was good during the flights though even though it was such a long flight. Then the last 3 days were really nice as Puneet's conference was over and we went around siteseeing etc. We are both outdoor people so it was a fun getaway. Since it was our first vacation with our baby, it took some time to getting used too. We realized that we could no longer hold hands and keep walking endlessly and keep staring into the sky deep into the nite!! We had a child to take care of all the time. Hope you are understanding what I mean. Anyways, we got back yesterday and since then R has been a maha pest. I dont know but something has gotten into him guys. The moment I put him down he starts crying. He was not like this before. I just patted him for 40 mins and he is now sleeping. Will write in more detail later. I have so many of my feelings to share with you guys and so many questions to ask that I will need a good chunk of time to write....I really missed the active communication with my friends here and have accumulated a lot inside me :)) Sounding very stupidly emotional na but that is how I am!!
Anyways, chalo then,
Loadsa love Reena Tweetie replied. yes I sure did miss reading Rishu's activities and other happenings, but I did know ur having a vacation and was guessing it would have been good! well i am glad that atleast u enjoyed most of it :)
Haven't bought any new toys ofr Santosh, even his books I got have the energy to read out patiently, our library seems to have some reading time for infants to 2 yr olds...might check out what it is all about. Regarding BM, my doc says that is more than enough for babies nutritionally for the first 6 months...u have done the best for Rishu :)
Post more pics of Rishu and ur fun times during the vacation.
