Hi everybody,

Thanks for the congratulations!
I am not excited as i was during the first pregnancy. May be that is normal 2nd time. I am 9 weeks pregnant now. Sometimes i still wish this to be irregular periods, but may be that's too late now :-). The best part is i still remain to be 'OctoberMom', i am due in this october. I have started checking oct2005 group, but again i come back to this one, i just feel this one to be 'Our Own Group'... built from last 2 years with so much of emotions & feelings shared.
Nausea is much better than last time, I used to vomit everything during last preg, but this time no vomits, but too much gas trouble, i feel bloated all time. I get tired very quickly. Today morning i blew a balloon for Nitya, & i felt exhausted after that. I just lied down on bed and Nitya came to bed too with one of her book.. sitting quietly next to me, poinitng out thingsin the book & wanted me to name them. i think she is also trying to be helpful. She is sleeping with my husband these days in another room. Last night i tried to put her to bed with me, but she was running to another room to her fav Daddy. She also likes to sleep with him during night time.
The worst part for me is I have to put my career on hold with another 3-4 years. I had recently started doing internship, & was thinking of going back to work after completing that. But now we don't plan to send 2 littles to daycare.
About the weight, i started 1st preg at 120 lbs, and starting the 2nd one at 135 lbs... how fat would i be after my 2 kids... i don't want to think about...

sumana Radhika replied. I am so happy u wrote back..do continue to do so. I am sure it will prepare all the other moms to prepare for next one too :)..now it seems an uphill task..I am sure when time comes we will find some way.
Did u hear ur little ones' heartbeat?
Is your husband excited too now?
Loved being pregnant, hope we do the same next time.
DOn't worry about ur career...keep reading if u do get time, God plans the best i think than what we think is the best. I learnt that when i sat jobless when i moved here for 2 years, learnt i had many other things i was interested in which i never would have known.. :) so i am sure u will do something better once kids are a little older.
Keep updating all the news..and share ur experiences or if we can help u in any other way.
In a way i guess its good nitya wants daddy now..so u can concentrate on other chores and baby too..
Do take care..and eat healthy whenever u get time..
Keep in touch too.

Here is some Granny Advise from me :-) Please watch your diet too . I think you need double energy from last pregnancy now that you have Nitya cup cake to take care of too .
