Happy first month!

Hello Muddu-mari,

You are a month old now…when and how this one month passed by I don’t know. You are getting cuter and cuter every day! It is amazing feeling to hold you; watch you…

Do you know you are able to lift your head now? You are holding objects.  Yesterday you held your own hair and started pulling it. It obviously hurts then you started crying. I am so happy I was able to help you and relieve your pain :P 

You know? There is a rash on your neck and everyone is very concerned about it. Amma had applied rash cream. It looks much better today. You will be fine darling!

Doctor had suggested us to put Vitamin drops to you. You don’t seem to like the taste of the one we got it. It is fun to watch when you lock the tongue and you close your mouth protesting against these drops. We are getting new tasteless drops for you. We don’t want to trouble you J We want you to be happy baby. Hope you like new drops.

I think amma has already told you, you make weird noises when you sleep. It is so much fun to hear them. Sometimes it is concerning too.  Btw, we finally got you new dress – one yellow+pink and one orange one. I am sure you will look very cute. Annaju mama has bought you red dress. Today you are wearing it for first month special J

Today we are going to doc check up again. Hepatitis shots will be given to you. Hope it wont hurt you much and you will be all fine. Amma has promised she love to carry you when shots are given to you! See, how mean of her right? Me and you are one team!

Bubye chiltani! More later…

You are 27 days old !!!!!

Oh my bangaru , I am waiting for the day where I can hug you tight.... It feels great when u hold me today.. U are growing chubby day by day.. U know what I have already kissed on ur cheek.. It's actually not allowed..

I actually hold you near my neck. You almost lift your head and eat my face.. Your first kiss to me.. You are so precious my little honey bunny ..

When you play in others arms I feel soo J :) , I feel like holding u all time , but I get tired too.. Oh fo last night , you did not allow me and ajji to sleep till 3:30.... Oh my we were tired when we put you to sleep.. Today u sleeping all day.. Get up ... Let's play ..

Anna 's first cry for you..

The first time we wanted to wipe your face, Anna came ready with the towel.. Your first bath at home.. Even ajji was so excited to wipe you.. I asked ajji to wipe .. Anna was soo upset , he cried... It's soo cute..

Funny thing , you frequently make sounds of horse , and occasionally even donkey .. Ha ha ha..

Docs ask to wrap you , even with your hands inside , I hate to lock you.. I know my womb was soo safe for you, i am trying to give you the best outside too..

I know I m not the best mom , I am trying to understand you day by day .. I m sorry if I have hurt you putty , coz I didn't know what hurts you ..

Also ur grand pa has learnt to carry you..

Oh my chiltu bangaru, you are already 12days old.

Anna took 7 days off. On Monday he was thinking , he will work from home, but he took off .. Anna tells you so many stories..

You look so cute when you asleep. Love the way you stretch yourself.. You smile while you are sleeping.. You already kick and move.. Your big black eyes wide open..  Seeing everywhere in this new world.. You seem soo fast .. Yukti ..

Now you are 6 pounds.. Still tiny :) .. But now I have learnt how to hold you..  How to feed you.. How to burp you and how to clean you..

Btw today you had your second oil bath.. You don't cry at all . Ajji , thatha are so cautious while giving you bath. It's their first time too.. You love being massaged.. You are a Jana Mari...

We also had your cradle function. We had 12 people home.. It was good fun.. You gots soo many clothes..

Anna is all set to buy you "Daddy's girl" t-shirt.. He is waiting to buy :)

Now while I am typing you are fast asleep ...

Chiltu you were born on May 30 at 00:35AM. You were soooo easy to deliver. You were out before I realized...

The first thing the doctors did when you were born is , they put you on my chest. Anna cut the umbilical cord. You are ours :) , you were on my chest even before they took out the placenta.

You stuck to me like Fevi stick. You loved to be on me. The best part to be a mother is that, my mere touch can pacify you.

I fed you . It was so difficult to latch you. I needed help. The doctors cleaned you later. Gave you a bath ...

Also I forgot to tell you , you are a girl. ...  I love you chiltu...
When you were out , I could not believe that you were inside me.. Birth is such a miracle.. No words..

I initially missed you inside me.. It felt so nice to be kicked inside..

You were soo beautiful at birth ... You were amazing.. Never expected you to be soo beautiful... We initially saw only 1 dimple... Was happy ... I always wanted dimples .. You now look like me only...,it's such a great feeling.. I don't know how Anna feels about it.. He feels you are like him.. You are both of us..

Anna was a pro in handling you.. He held you at such ease. He is the first person to change your diapers. I initially was J that I don't know how to swaddle you , how to change your diaper. The only thing I did initial 1 day was feed you..

The first two days were sleepless nights for us.. I was just not sure if I am doing things right.. I just want to make sure I make a good mother for you.

The 3rd day , we got you home.. I was thinking that I will cry when you were born. But I dint cry then..  While leaving the hospital , you in yellow and in my arms. Tears of joy rolled down... No words..

Love you
Amma
