hi friends,

my MBA exams(1st sem.) just got over yesterday. its difficult to study with babies. i mean
he wants to read the same book that i m reading, he wants the same pencil/pen that i have.
& if i give him that & take another one, he wants that also..........
i used to study in my bedroom, he would not move from that room. then i used to close my room
& guess what he used to stand out & bang the door till i opened it. also a lot of time got wasted in feeding him his meals. actually my inlaws used to help me a lot, but he wanted only me. therefore i basically did all my studies during night. i used to feel like super-mom handling Virej & studies (i had only 12 days to start n finish the whole portion). anyways i m feeling good i attempted my exams.

i realied during this phase that i m very possessive abt Virej. i mean i thought i cannot
trust anyone for my baby, so i made my hubby stay at home during my exams (inspite of my
inlaws being there at home). but i saw he used to stay well with them & even ate properly. also i thought that i would not be able to write my papers properly coz virej would be there in my mind all the time. but nothing like that happened. i guess after staying at home with him for past 1 year, my thinking & my attitude etc has all changed. i have become a typical indian housewife........ i guess i should leave him &
start working, but i dont know??

abt virej:
the more he grows the more fun it is. he now runs around the house. hes got 7 teeth. he still
does eat very properly, but chalta hai, part of life. i brush his teeth once (doctor has asked to do it twice, but i feel lazy). he has learned to show his nose, ears, mouth, tounge etc. he does actions when i sing 'twinkle twinkle little stars'. & the best part is that he has started imitating other peoples. i mean when he sees
someone cry, he will make the same sound of crying. also if someone laughs aloud, he too will do that. every evening i take him for a little stroll & then he plays in the ground with all
the babies. he loves to be a free bird. he runs n runs when he is left to play.

life is so much fun with him.
how r ur babies doing & hows ur life moving?

i guess the board has calm down, 'jago mummies jago'.
write in a line or two whenever u all get time.
rest all is fine.

I will say u have put up my thoghts in your message. Thogh i have started working my heart is at home ( thinking what my liitle one might be doing) . I too think think that i have become typical indian mom. I used to be out of house whole day beforre my marriag. Yet i have not started my evening work. Here i am going to my mom's place for my kids vacation , leaving my work behind.
i think ur possesiveness is vry natural . I used to be like that for my first one. Lots of love to him and best wishes for ur exams. From which uni. r u dooing mba? My hubby also has done his mba from there and got gold medal .

shivani Preeti Kuwait replied. Hi Jayna,
It was nice to see u back on the baord. I know how difficult it is to study with a baby. I have been through it. Offcourse, Parth was 3 when I had joined full time M.E. but I had full time job and my hubby was not in India with me...he was in Kuwait...many a times I felt tht I shud leave my studies...But dear dont give up...coz education will always help u in life...U are fortunate u have good inlaws...give them back when u can..like preparing their fav meal when u can...I suggest during exam time get as much help possible...I had called my parents too at my place and my MIL was also there...so tht I was just doing exams,job and rest of time with kid....no cooking etc..I feel what we study 12 hrs before exam is what matters most...so give it as much as possible a day b4 exam...baki chalta hai..U will do well...
Good to know about virej's progress...Sahil is dhiluram...he can take few steps but not confident to walk...has got only 4 teeth so I am not regular with brushing..but babbles a lot..I speak all languages with him...sp gujarati as Parth is more comfortable with papa's lang marathi I wanna make Sahil a gujju boy...he also imitates lot..
See ya then,
All the best,
Love,
