Merry Christmas and a Happy New year!!!

I wish everyone a merry christmas and a happy new year!!

As always there's lots to say and so little time. My little one has been keeping us all busy for now he crawls ad crawls and doesnt want to sit in a place. He can hold to furniture and push himslef up and stand. He falls a lot though, so someone always has to be behind him.

Work is going good in the sense that I am still on the Job.Got another award recently. Looks like Sanju has brought me good luck. :)

Most important update, post pregnancy, i lost the pregnancy weight to gain it all back in a few monhts, let me give you sample conversation that would best explain my plight:

While Pregnanct:
Random friend in office: You are getting fat.
ME: I am not fat, I am Pregnant!!

After delivery (getting BMI and BP checked in office):
Lady(After seeing my weight): Madam, are you carrying?
ME(Almost laughing and crying together): I am not pregnant, I am fat!!

So there you go!! In my zeal and stress to exclusively breastfeed my baby for the first 5 and half months, i went on an eating binge. I was always worried I should have enough milk for my baby. I managed well , only i got fat.

On the bright side, none of my old clothes fit me , so i have to get myself a whole new wardrobe. Yay!!! My mom's clothes fit me, so now i dont share with my sis, but i get to share with mom.

And the husband still thinks i am cute. Love must indeed be blind!!!
There i was one morning, sleep deprived, wearing nighty, smudged eye-liner appearing like dark circles, dishevelled hair...waiting to close the gate after the husband leaves for office. I am looking at him and thinking, "He is so good looking" , only i dont say it. He gives me one look and tells me, "You look cute"....

Now everything is alright with my world...weight issue or no....i am happy and just fine!!!

Life as a working mother has been interesting. Initially i didnt want to stay in office and wanted to rush home to be with baby...now i am learning to deal with it . Anyways, he is given good care by his grandparents..

So life is going good....
I saw Madagascar - 2 and loved it, but i am going to save that for another post!!
:)
Have fun all of you ad enjoy your life!!

Happy Valentine's day!!

I am having a great day today. I had a love marriage,so I have known my husband for quite some time. He always buys me roses for Valentine’s day. Last year, I went to his college where he is doing his part-time MBA and we went home together…wondering where he is going to find a rose for me, when we found one by the roadside, probably one of the last that the vendor was having..it was magical and my husband got it for me…..

This year was really nice. I didn’t know what to buy him. I am a believer in value for money ,so I didn’t want to waste buying some useless gift..it had to be useful for him. I thought long and decided to buy him a good brand perfume and did so.

I went home yesterday thinking I would give him at 12 midnight. I had set my mobile phone alarm for 12 and had gone to sleep. My husband told me he had to do some PPT and sat at the comp. He asked me to set the alarm for 5:15 AM so I could wake him. So I changed the alarm time and went off to sleep. Mean me,I knew he would wake up at 12 to wish me. He always wishes me at 12, be it my birthday or Valentine’s day. Mean of me to go to sleep like that...i slept well while he stayed awake till 12 so he could wish me with a beautiful surprise….

I always keep my mobile below my pillow so I can hear the alarm go off. I had done so yesterday night too..

Somewhere during my deep sleep, I heard a mobile ring and the ring tone was a tamil song….i was still sort of asleep, I woke up and answered the phone to hear my husband wish me on the other side “Happy Valentine’s day”

It was just then it struck me that he had gifted me a new mobile. I didn’t have an iota of an idea that he was buying me a mobile…my husband later told me that he knew I would be getting him perfume..guess what?? That’s what I got him last time too….

And he told me that he had stayed awake till 12 so he could change the sim card from my mobile to the new one. He set up a nice romantic song for ring tone and placed the new mobile under my pillow all this while I happily slept.

It was really nice..its not just the fact that he cares but the way he cares..it was really sweet..as an after-effect , I am still smiling..Someone asked me “why are you continuously smiling??” I had to come up with my own fictitious reasons….but I was smiling because of the lovely gift that my husband gave and more so, the way he gave it to me…

I love the way he cares for people..not just for me but everyone…it is really sweet.

Happy Valentine’s Day to my dear husband…
