On the verge of parenthood...

It's ninth month now..... it may happen any time.....
a new phase... a new role... a new relation.... a new responsibility...
tension... excitement....happiness... worry.... all at once...
The new face of the family. Someone we had been dreaming about....talking about....
even though just 8 months...it seems like a long wait.... an roller coaster ride though....
but each time there was a down.... it added even more to the excitement....attachment...

We have been doing so many things for the yet to be born so that it would attain a good growth as well as a good personality....
From the Manashakti kendra courses and Cd's to the James Nicholas Cd's to various Garbha Sanskaar Books.... as well as reading biographies of great personalities...
in short, what all we could do for the so called pre-natal education.... we did and of course are still doing.

One more regular lookout for Deepa would be babycenter.in website. She regularly studied all the information there week by week and that definitely helped in understanding the changes that happened.. both physical and emotional.

it may be that everyone goes through same experience.... but again it is unique for everyone...
may be because the personality that that enters the world is always unique....
we talk to the baby.... it may not speak.... but it responds through it's movements. We are already Recognizing it as an individual personality. Even though it is not “officially” born, it has already become part of the family. it even has a name...a gender neutral nick name...

The search has began.... for all the new things … cradle... nappies...all the infant care items....
past one month has been little tough though. Especially for Deepa... but like they say in Hindi, “Sabar Ka Fal Meetha Hota Hain...."

Just waiting for the happy moment to arrive....
eager to welcome a new member in the family...

someone has said, Parenthood, its not a job. It's an adventure!
We are just embarking....
