Hi all,

I am back to HK :)

Ohhhh !!! The trip was funtastic and me and my baby enjoyed all sorts of food. Pune is still the same and was rainning. It was fun, although I did not go out much. All my friends and relatives kept guessing whether its a boy or a girl, and all of them have different opinion. Its all refreshing and I am back to work now. Just waiting for my mom to arrive here. My parents will be here on 17th Sep. I have bought so many baby cloths (although people there say not to buy anything until baby arrives, but ...) Cloths were cheaper but we ended paying 6,500 Rs extra for my extra baggage :(

How are you all doing? Padmaja, Mekha and Jyotsna? I am feeling so much weight now. Its hard to get up from bed and breathing becoming faster and faster. I get up so many times in night since I become very restless. I did not go for a walk for 2 weeks and I think I have put on lot of weight. I need to check weight as soon as possible. 2 more months to go for me.

I am catching up with all the postings here since I did not get any chance to open the site in 2 weeks.

Do reply back girls and take care.

Sakhi Mekha replied. Hello Sakhi,

Good to see you back here again. Hope you had a wonderful time in India. How is your baby doing? Baby might have been delirious of mamma who's been having various homely delicious indian food..hmm yummy!!. Its sure refreshing, isn't?

I had my lamaze class and everything gone smoothly except not sure how much i would follow during the labor. Weather was hot and humid but it became cooler since two days due to the rain.

My mom will go to consulate next month and she will come to us in october. I am just impatiently waiting for her. I pray that there won't be any impediment arise of her coming to the u.s.

Take care and keep posting!

Padmaja replied. Hey Sakhi, So good to see you back here posting. Kept thinking about you.I am sure you had a great time in India, now relax and take it easy since we are running the last part of the race.
My mom did not get much for the baby kept saying we are not to buy until after the delivery so I am going to bank on babies r us store !What are the things you bought? Share with me.
We have added each other in MSN messenger, let me know your hotmail id so I can see you online at times.
I am doing okay and yes with usual aches and pains, have been going for my lamaze classes but not very impressed with them though picked up some tips, as I wrote in some other post, thought it would erase my fear of pain instead I am more nervous about L&D than ever.I have two more classes to attend to.
Take care and stay connected.
Nivea replied. Hey sakhi...
welcome back..Sure u must be feeling all refreshed after ur trip now.

Tell u what --even I am originally from Pune...Actually from Khadki...I completed my studies in Pune and then came to Abu Dhabi After marriage . Where in Pune are u from ?

Yes,,,its certainly fun to see people predicting whether it will be a girl or boy!!! But do any of u have any hunches or intuitions of the sex of the baby ??

Mekha,,,nice to hear from u ...Living in two different time zones is'nt the best thing in the world na !! But I'm sure we can all make it happen i guess ...ANyway I'm flexible..If you all fix on a timing for a chat..I can be there.

Regd My Moms Visa,I will be applying for it next month Mekha .Here it takes just about 7-10 days to get the visa , the validity of which is 2 months. So If I apply in Sep ,,it should be just fine.

Jyotsna,,,We should not let the weight bother us. As they say the last 2 months-we tend to gain 1/2 a kg a week !! And anyway...the lesser we gain...the easier it is to get rid of the extra weight na.

You know girls,..Last pregnancy I had a small tummy ( my baby was only 2.5 kgs) so this time I want to have a nice big tummy and look like all the other pregnant ladies !! hehehe....so i keep checking the size of my belly everyday !! **smile smile**

Padmaja...why no news from u...How are u doing ?

Thats all for now girls...all u take care

Love
nivea
