My 2007

January -
I wasn’t going to get my shampoo after all as my dad cancelled his Paris trip (yeah, I use only one brand of shampoo, directly from Paris). & thus unfolds my year of 2007.
February -
Was in India for two hectic weeks of non stop activities, travelling and fun in preparation of my sister’s wedding. Got complimented on my unnatural glow and got knowing/questionin looks from all elders.
Returned back to work with a mighty hangover which stuck to me with a vengeance so much such that I had to hire cooks.
March -
I just became more delusional and light headed, earning the nick name – Sleepy head at work, frustrated my boss to no ends, he kept asking…"What’s wrong with u?" Oh, how I longed to find the reason for my sudden fatigue!!
April -
Found the culprit – a not so tiny spark of life (almost 3 months) within me was creating all the havoc. Suddenly the ever present, persistent hunger pangs, the nightly nature calls and waking up drenched in sweat all made sense.
May -
Got rid of the cooks as the best cook had returned … MOM & the feasts started pouring in...
June -
Summer started wit a bang of 35 degrees and above. Rearranged the desks at work so that I could accommodate my bulging tummy.
July -

The rearrangement came back to bite me as it was even hotter inside the office for me. My tummy started to serve as my table, only the baby didn’t share my point of view and kept showerin me with a plethora of kicks.
August -

Could go through two burgers and still be hungry in an hour’s time!! I was soo enjoying this. The baby liked kicking my liver (must have thought it to be a football). Finally exchanged desks at work (forcefully).
September -

Was all set to go into premature labour as the idea appealed to me. Hate being predictable!! By now, I had gained about 20 kilos. My wedding ring wouldn’t budge.
October -

Due date shifted from 15th to 17th to 19th to 21st Oct. Feet got so swollen, couldn’t stand. Tummy got so huge, I couldn’t rest. Sister came from Australia, next my grandparents, then my in laws… all set to welcome the newcomer by Oct 15th.
HE enters my (the) world on 25th Oct 2007. I enter a state of shock.
November -

I am started on strict diet and a weird bath routine. The baby has everyone under his little finger. The 28th day function – naming ceremony – he's the Perfect Guest of Honor. My sister, after teaching the baby to dance and endless Boyzone songs(BSB didnt have much lullabies...surprisingly), leaves.
December -

My 41 days of acute suffering surprisingly comes to an end on the 43rd day after delivery. Baby’s first outing to celebrate his parent’s anniversary – he sleeps through it all!! Whew!!
He sleeps through Christmas as well as New year’s night!!
