Hi dear friends,

How have all of you been? I have some news to share- I have started a full time job now. Working as a full time accountant in a consulting company. Ghar ke paas hain. Rishu is now going to day care. It was terrible the first 2 weeks and I was at home to make sure he adjusts before I started the job, but he seems to be getting better there. I am the one who is not seeming to get better. Am extremely exhausted all the time. Feel awful about getting no time with Rishu. Cannot get by chores completed and am running around all weekend. Right now I am feeling very depressed about my 'new life' and am not seeming to cope up at all. Any pep talk will be appreciated. Am also getting terrible migraines because of the stress so have started taking a new medicine now. Khana peena nahi manage ho paa raha hain and everyday seems to be a struggle. Upar se there is no change to R ka eating and sleeping issues. Feel like a zombie now.
Have been meaning to write but kept postphoning it due to something or the other...

CHalo then, more when I get back my sanity Reena Vani replied. Dear Reena
Sorry, had been busy and I was thinking of taking some time to reply you in detail and thats the reason for the delay. First of all congratulations on your new job. You guys are really great (u, komal...) I can never take a decision of quitting and joining later coz I am sure I will forget everything and become a dumbo.

Is Rishu playing and active in the day care. You said the work place is close to house... how close is it? Is his day care nearby too? Hey, take some tips from Komal about cooking just in the weekend and spending more time with the baby. I do agree it is very tough to manage baby, work and chores at home but I am sure you'll be fine in some time. I remember how you used to travel 1.5 hrs everyday when you were 9 months preggo too. Take it easy for a while and make lots of stuff in the weekend. you will get used to it.

Does Rishu drink milk properly? If so, you can give him junior horlicks and stuff like that so that it will be filling. what are his specialists saying?

Write in detail when you are free. We are all doing fine here. Paddu has resigned her job and its been days since we spoke to each other. Will do today. Hope rest all are fine.

Love to Rishu and loads of hugs to you - you are a super mom!!
