22 december 2010

21 Dec we had Iyyappan pooja in our house ,a good friend of us helped us with swami idol and other pooja essentials.My day started with mindset hat everything should go good and whole process of cooking and cleaning and with hari and harshi in home ...

but thank God everything went on smooth and we had a great pooja .

I want to write about Hari and Harshi what they do for my keepsake.

This year is all about hectic start to end. Jan trip to India and took care of my mother in law, came home to virginia dead tired on feb 8.All pregnancy period ran fast as it could and i enjoyed every kick and movement that hari made inside me and i informed almost every time to Prashanth that its very uncomfortable, my back aches, i m tired all the time but I thought this is my last time enjoying a baby inside me, so I enjoyed every uncomfortable moments with walking,swimming and long nights talking to prashanth.He like always gives a massage whenever i wanted ,hugs and kisses included .

July27 i started feeling something unusual kind of not able to breathe and next day I asked Prashanth to come home and work by 1 p.m ,asusual doubting whether it could be labor or not with prashanth for 100th time ,so confused called my doctor's

office, Gabrrielle mandolesi asked me to come to labor and deliverry to check on me.So in between the idly dough making we made a casual visit and ended up having baby next morning at 9 26 am.

Hari dhruvan Prashanth screamed out of his lungs 6 pound 5 ounces almost 20 inches looks tiny in my my eyes and i m so happy that he is of good health. In seconds informed all our good friends,family and well wishers thanks to iphone for video email.

Next few days Prashanth was running back and forth to take care of harshitha at friends place and hospital. We had our friends comeover to see baby .
