Dear friends

Guess all of you are busy. Me had some tough time at work and now its getting better. I am busy these days too but its not too hectic. I hope all of you have passes the phase of illness.

Reena, no news for a long time? Hope you and Rishu and Puneet are keeping well.

Komal, write to us about your job. Does Megha enjoy her day care? How long do you have to travel and how do you like the work place?

Raj, how are you and Sid? why no messages from you? As Paddu said, send photos of Sid... long time since we saw him.

Maurni, how is the little one inside? Kicking? :) How is Vrisa? Is someone going to be there for your delivery to take care of Vrisa?

Jay, Sush, Sri, Usha and all others... hope all is well. Do keep writing... lets keep the board active.

Now for Rishi's update, had his weight checked and he is 8.75 kgs! Doc asks me to increase his feed but I am wondering how. If he feels full, he will just spit the next spoon of food and run away. Should start with eggs. Have you all started?

Had his chicken pox vaccination done and it was a task to hold him for the shot and the doc had to bribe him a cadbury bar for it! He knows so much. Whenever i give him his calcium, he will cry his heart out and go and stand near the fridge for his chocolate.

He now loves kichdi, pongal and dosa. dosa is his all time favourite. Stopped eating banana, and I have stopped giving it thinking may be he is bored of it. I will start after a week and see.

He says only appa, amma, akka, atha, ithi for chithi(mausi) and loves to be with my sis always. Once she is back from work, he will be running behind her till he sleeps.

All the seperation anxiety is for me only, I don't think he misses me at all. Amma is asking me to let her go with Rishi to chennai for a month and am still not convinced. But how long can I keep amma here... even if my in-laws come, i don't think they can manage Rishi. Lets see.

Ok, let me get back to work now, write girls...

Love to the sweeties.
Vani Reena replied. Hi guys- hum sab theek hain ab. Bas between taking care of Rishu and cooking/cleaning and looking for jobs, I am completely washed out. I look for jobs, take care of bills, make calls for appts. etc all when he is napping as he doesnt let me do anything. Early in the morn, I cut veggies etc and cook them in the afternoon. Do the cleaning after Puneet gets home. Between these I also have to complete all my errands. Am feeling super tired now even though R is sleeping.
I am working with 3 recruiters and my resume has gone to some companies so am waiting for replies-its torture to keep waiting!
Kal Boston lekar gayi thi R ko for a nutritionist appt as he is NOT EATING AT ALL. Got a lot of useful info on what I should avoid for him as he has multiple allergies and also got substitue names to try. Now, I need to go to the feeding team who will try and work on his lack of eating behaviour and then a sleep therapist as he wakes up every 10 mins at nite. We are still taking turns each nite so life is hard now. Now easy but we are keeping the faith. Things have to work out soon right, how hard can god be on me??
Anyway,jaati hun ok, will write as soon as I can, vote for Rishu on indiaparenting ok...have no clue how he got entered into the contest though!

Bye and love ya lots Reena maurni replied. Thanks for asking about baby. We have been really busy recently with Vrisa catching her first ever cold/illness and then passing it onto me and my contract working at home and then here we have to file our own taxes for the government so I have been working on that with Bharat when he has a few minutes to spare from his own work load... etc, etc.. and things just go on....
Baby is kicking the heck out of me. I have my sugar test at the end of the month... hopefully it will come back normal. We are still undecided on the name.. I am sticking with neil. I have always loved that name. I wanted Maya for Vrisa and Bharat got his way with Vrisa so this time it's my turn ;-)Dekhte hain...
Lots of love to you and Rishi.
