Thank you so much for writing your thoughts on reading my birth story. I can understand how you feel...and yes, it is vry weakening and sad...but you just get thru it.

God doesnt deprive you of everything....he gives you the things you really need to get by. So when the time comes...go with a peaceful heart and have a healthy baby.

My son Akhil did fine with our friends. Sure he missed us but he got treated royally there and 24 hours is a short span of time. And remembering God in your heart, you don' t need anyone to take an aarti for you.....will you have help eventually or will you be totally managing on your own this time?

(I' ll come back to this board and check your reply).

Take care of yourself. You sound like a strong and positive woman to me. :) And women are simply amazing beings! Period. Sonal replied. hiii Tara,
Thanx for taking the time to write to me.i was really touched.
As for me.. this is my first one.. and the fact tht u were so brave and akhil was even more brave to wave u guys bye-bye.. made my heart go flip flop!
As for help...well....I am due mid april and my ILs will come in later april.. but they also have plans to visit Other places in USA n canada too.. so i dunno if i will really have any help or more work.
But the fact tht we' ll have to come back to an empty home.. with noone to welcome my lil angel.. does make me sad sometimes.. though i am planning to keep everything handy in the kitchen.. where DH doesnt need to search.. so tht all he needs to do is light the diya and do the aarti. He is planning to get loads of balloons and stuff to welcome the baby!! hehe hopefully all shud b well..
And yes remembering god is the best way of making any moment auspicious.. plus i am sure i will getting all the blessings n positive vibes from my family and all u guys here!!yes, u guessed rite.. i am mostly very positive.. but some days.. just have a downer on me!!hehe..but other days are better!! So.. no worries!
Keep in touch.. love to your kiddos!!
