Been awhile...

Sorry I haven't updated in awhile. Here's what's going on in my life now...

WORK
I hate it. I'm part of this major project which has a due date of July 1st. We have to meet this date for tons of reasons. My due date is July 20 which means no relax time or 'take it easy' time. Besides this project I am still getting some random work which I am also expected to do in a timely fashion. Its just too stressfull sometimes.

VIDHI
My in-laws side have a vidhi known as 'khoro bhare'. It is a major thing for them. And although they are not here we are still going to do this vidhi. We are doing it one week before the baby shower with just close family members and it has to be at our house. It's like preparing for 2 parties.

BABY SHOWER
Major things have been done for this. Most of the shopping for it has been done, few little things are left to do. I have some minor worries which will only go away when its all done.

BABY
Baby is getting bigger day by day and the movements and kicks are very powerful now. I try to walk anytime I can to get exercise. Weather has been cooperating so that's good. Many of my work friends say that I have 'popped'. Which means I am really showing now. We had another ultrasound. As usual it was amazing. We saw the baby blink. Baby weighs 2.5 lbs so far. From the photos we got Premal is convinced baby looks like me. We'll see...

BIRTH CLASSES
We had our first class yesterday. I found it very useful. We have 6 total classes. They are every Tuesday 7-9 at the hospital. Our teacher is very sweet and tells us everything frankly which is good. It is very informative. Besides learning it is also a fun class. Some of the husband's concerns are very funny. Everyone is laughing half the time.

My babes...

After reading Disha's entry about her friends I have to talk about a recent event that involved my friends. The image you see at top is what I saw the other day after I returned from work. These four large boxes were outside our garage. At first I thought there must be a mistake. Then I read the labels and sure enough it had my name on it. After seeing the packing slips which said..."from the Umass girls" did I realize who they were from. My girlfriends from college had sent all this. These are the first gifts I've gotten for the baby. A high chair, diaper bag, hooded towels, car window sun gaurd, and a baby bath kit were all the contents. It is great stuff. It is such a kind thing for my friends to do. They are a great bunch of girls and I'm lucky to have them as friends. I wish we were able to see each other more often. Thank you to Amita, Charu, Madhu, Nehal, Sital, Tanvi and Tushima!

Vacation destination...

Every year Premal and I go on a vacation where its just the two of us. This year we were thinking if taking a mini vacation before the baby comes since we won't get a chance after. We would go in the month of May. We want to go for only a weekend. In the past we have gone to NYC and Vermont. But where to go this year? I'd like to go someplace peaceful and relaxing. Anyone know any nice places near MA? It has to be in driving distance as I won't be able to fly.

Happy Birthday Roshani!

Look who's 21!!
