Baby Pooping naturally
These LO's are very precious to us & am dead sure you like me are looking up for millions of stuff to help you and your baby feel better. Pooping is one such common issue for these little ones. Rather not-pooping is a common issue :P I don't know how and why they suddenly decide not to poop. My LO didn't give me much trouble in US but in India he seemed to have a problem. He wasn't pooping at all. I believe that once they poop their stomachs are more clear and they are more happy. They are allowed about 7 -9 days without poop. I freak for 2-3 days only.
My pediatrician in India recommended to use suppositories to help them poop. They are basically frozen stuff which is inserted into rectum and it melts there and helps baby poop. I as usual wasn't interested in this way. Based on gyan of al elders here i researched and this small trick helped. This according to me works like a natural suppository.

- Take a betel leaf as shown in the picture. Try one with a long unbroken petiole.
- generously apply castor oil to rectum area.
- generously apply castor oil to the petiole part of the betel leaf.
- roll the betel leaf and insert the petiole into the rectum.
- leave it there for 2-3 minutes.
- remove it.
- The baby will either start pooping immedietely or in few minutes.

Month 4
What a month i say!! Filled with prayers emotions and anxiety.
He stands for longer time and wishes to be either seated or carried. Loves to talk to his ammamma and babbles with her non stop. I'm getting lazy and sleepy due to feeding every 2-3 hrs. The tyres are back and i hate them!! Grr..!! I wonder why Mr cool hasnt changed his schedule yet. So many babies have stopped troubling their mommas and this guy hasnt stopped yet. His PIO hasnt yet arrived so i might have to handle him alone and thats why i want him to be more mommy-friendly!!
Lost few pics of his. but had a wonderful halloween. He was Mike Wazowski. Cutie pie. Another day borrowed a frock from his future playmate :P and he looked lovely in it!!
His PIO didn't turn up aparently and mom left to India. I'm am handling him by myself. I cant believe it myself though but yes its true. Mr cool is growing big, as in physically and mentally as well. Hez become mr natak. Lot of drama he displays in grabbing my attention. Aww those cute faces he makes and those expressions he gives. Love them!!! Love him!!
He says a hello with a hand shake :) Gentleman style :P (His ammamma taught him ofcourse)

Mommy me!!
Tears tears everywhere not a soul at peace!!
I was crying for my amma incessantly. My LO caught a cold. I'm definitely gonna hang a board "You DARE not enter my home if you have a cold" in future. A small visit to the the temple caused this mess. Poor thing was so tired to even feed. I felt as if this was the worst thing that could happen to a mom. What a timing, no adult supervision. I really feel the oxytocin has gone haywire in my body!! or dopamine has in his body!! or is this what all mommies feel? I couldn't stand to see the running nose and teary eyes he had. What sin had he committed to get this cold i wondered. I cursed myself for being such a careless mom. A temple visit was not necessary and even if we happened to go, it wasn't necessary to pass him on to people. What was this unexplainable bond? When did this develop?
Hubby was a darling managing two cry babies. Oh man.. i cant live without these two!! Tomorrow is his 4th month. I hope he is happy to see some small celebrations from this tired mommy!!
God bless all kids!!

Month 3
Hez all babbling and cooing during his non-sleep time. I see a future where i'm trying to shut him talking. Apparently my mom had same trouble with me. She says my grandmom used to teach me Bhagawad geetha when i was 1.5 yrs old!! How amazing i was as a kid!!
Back to Mr cool. He has gained some weight and looks really adorable. But he is still a mystery as to whom he resembles. Looks like everyone and no one!! Along with the chub he seems to be growing fair. Mom says he will never get my complexion. I say you never know. Mil wants me to enquire about complexion increasing options from the doc. I say, I'm totally fine with him. Basically hez like my hubby. Fair or red complexion and both look absolutely fine and awesome to me.
Hez smiling more and more as soon as he identifies me or mom or hubby. He makes some funny sounds and gargles kind of some spit out. (Mom says its linked with my hairfall :((( ) He has learnt few new things as well. One being disturbing my sleep. When I turn away from him and sleep, he pats me and calls me when hez hungry. How smart is that!! One more new activity is now i try to put him on his legs and lo he stands for 1/2 a second. I'm proud!! :)
At a bhajan recently, people, apart from complimenting his name were saying he is very sharp for a 2 month old. I don't know why but am too proud already. My mom has taken extra effort in grooming us into such sane beings, i really felt i ought to do same. I quit job. At a stage where i was earning in 6 digit figure, i resigned. Frankly i am not bothered but i wish i saved some for myself :(. So now life is all about Mr cool only. I think it'll be worth it!!
Nothing much new, mom n me sing songs for him & put him to sleep. He loves it. So im planning to learn more songs and have started a new label "bhajans". MM n mom n dad love to hear me sing. I find it strange. Mom n MM keep forcing me to sing everywhere. I'm running out of songs. Bah!!
Made veggie puff for this boy this month. God bless him.

Pregnant Mommies India List
First of all congrats mommie. I understand how badly you need to prepare a list to get things from India for various reasons. Go read ahead and trouble your mom or mil to grab these.
Caution: Practices & traditions in each household/cultures are different. However i have asked too many people for my baby and came up with this list. You please touch base with your family.
Baby Needs
- CLOTHES
- 3-5 Cloth diapers: to use incase of diaper rashes.
- 5-10 cotton wash clothes: Keeps lips soft.
- Soft red satin cloth: Mil says keeps the lips red.
- Sweaters and full arm clothes for baby.
- One absorbant cloth: to use for base while carrying baby. You can get here in hospital as well.
- 2 soft indian cotton towels.
- Kajal: Mom brought home made kajal for baby.
- FEED
- Woodwards gripe water/Aum water : Babies are too fuzzy and they keep farting a lot. so this is very helpful.
- Health mixture: Mom brought ja kayi+vaja+kaj kayi+badam+kalsakra and she makes a paste out of these for baby and we give it once a day. This is for strength.
- Livomine drops: Ayurvedic version of the health mixture. My doc in india highly recommended this.
- BATH
- Baby bath massage oil: Initially i used a normal one. But once hez 3 months i want to mix mustard+olive+almond+til.

- Small short legged table if your mom/mil plans to give bath to the baby in traditional style on the her legs.

Month 2
This chotu is too smart. I think his grandma is training him to be so. They both bond amazingly well. My mom is a introvert actually and playing with kids is her passion (I have definitely inherited that :)) She and he go on talking for minutes about random silly stuff. Me & MM have a laugh at this duo actually. He has learnt to coo and make sounds. Sometimes he responds amazingly well to the questions we ask iff hez done with his feed and has had a good nap. He says good morning in the same tone as mom says. I think he may learn to speak soon. :)
After dad left i got involved in his bath time. Trust me, these are so delicate that i need to pour water also with so much caution. I can spend hours together looking at this wonder but these days he identifies/ smells me and cries relating me with his food. So i instantly hand him over to mom or MM. All of us actually fight to burp him. He he. MM doesn't involve much in anything though he claims to know everything, but loves to burp him and kiss him. MM's mush kinda hurts him and he responds so cutely staring into his dad's eyes.
He feeds exact 2 hrs intervals during the day and night about 3hrs plus. I'm astonished how this guy realizes its 2hrs and hez up and crying. A few days back myself and him cuddled (Hez begun to stick to me and sleep) Mom said it was so wonderful to see us like that. When he is next to me, i am more cautious and hence do not sleep well, so i prefer putting him to sleep in the swing for few hrs so i can sleep and roll as much i want.
When he is hungry he makes a frown. I don't understand how he learnt that. He looks at his grandma or dad and makes that. n they both instantly search for me. How this cute creature displays emotion is so puzzling!
I feel he sort of understands me. We had been to grocery shopping and he didn't disturb his momma. The other day had been to bhajan and he didn't wake up there. I'm also a good mommie, 3.5 hrs i had wrapped up everything and i brought him home quick so fed him at home.
Making besan ladoo for this month bday. Cheers to me n my beta!! I'm royally enjoying creating collages of his pics and doing all funny naughty stuff. :))

Forgotten the world
This feeling only a mom rather a new-first-time mom can understand. That tiny hands, small faced 7 pound wonder has made me forget the world. Yes i do facebook but I don't care about anyone now. Lost myself to him. Motherhood is like a out of world feeling!!
He came into my arms struggling to open his eyes and made some peaceful sighs. I introduced myself to him as his Amma and i was crying. He saw it too with his puffed tiny weeny eyes. He was a tall baby and continues to be so. On day 2 only he learned to latch and day 5 he actually opened his eyes wide open. Soon we learnt that he likes hot water baths but the doc put a full-stop to it as his umbilical cord hadn't fallen off yet. The 11th day punyajana went well and we named him with 5 lovely names "Akarsh","Sai smaran", "Gowriah setty","Mukul","Eeshan". I remember his 12th day, i spent half an hour talking to him at 7 in the morning. Wonderful it is communicating with a being who was made by you but cannot understand a word said by you yet :P. I spoke shit with him telling about how my life was and how it will be now with only him in mind. Hope it is in his memories too.
They say kids are still communicating with god about their good and bad deeds of their previous life and making deals about this life. Now and then when he is sleeping i'm giving him tips to help him make his deals. Oh man, i pity him; such a stupid mom he has.
Life is all about diapers now. He is in his 0th month and already does a lot of tricks. His 1 month bday is today and i baked cup cakes for all. He tasted it too. :) (I made him taste!!) He notices people and sounds since 2 days. Looking forward for more awesome stuff.
Cheers to God!!

My LO's Journey!
Ummmah..!
Whether you believe or not in God, after 9 months of pregnancy you will start believing. You'll start believing in miracles too. I still don't get the point how something is growing inside me. This is what they say as Motherhood. You wont believe i have penned down each and every detail and reading and measurements of my LO's journey in my book. #Proud#
Im all set and now counting days to give birth to a baby and i have these thousands of thoughts lingering in my head. Some anxious ones, some happy ones and some worried ones. I keep sayin All iz well :) All will be well!!
Life changes with a life growing inside you. Its surprise to you and family. So you are thinking of ways to spread the news and not to forget whom all to tell as well. The first 3 months are set of mixed emotions because it involves breaking the news to hubby n family and their reactions and frantically looking for a good doc and google-searching about dos and dont's. Me being away from hubby didn't give me much room to use innovative ideas to tell hubby. I called him 8 times to tell this but he was bathing and hence didn't answer. Once he answered the call, i blasted him and conveyed this to him. I was a lil paranoid too. He was just too shocked for a second but some how understood my tone and calmed me down. I sent the pic of the test to my parents and was waiting for their reply. Apparently mom woke up late that day and she didn't see her cell at all. I called her and told her to see watsapp. He he! She n dad were first like whats the heck are these pics and then they both sort of shouted. Yay!! The days hence forth were lil hectic for me as we were in two different states. This boy really brought us together and i cant thank him enough for that.
First 3 months are most crucial. Few food restrictions. No papaya, pineapple. Behold!! 2 weeks back i had few pieces of pineapple. I freaked :) Then me and my friend were like anything too much is bad. 2 pieces isn't an issue. Mil said no brinjal/egg plant as well. Few other things i reduced were coffee, tea, potato. Stopped chinese food suspecting they restaurants use MSG in everything.
Most importantly i started pre-natals & downloaded 3 apps and there my journey started. I started reading the daily and weekly growth of my baby. I got my actual gynec appt at 8 weeks so was forced to shut mouth till then. Meanwhile in 6th week my pcp confirmed that i was pregnant. I was a lil sore n tired. Its basically all your laziness will double. Since you still dont have a tummy to prove you will start doubting and questioning. But all is normal. Infact first trimester is most important and max care should be taken. I was actually going to bikram yoga before pregnancy and mom was like you have enough strain becoz of work and house-shifting so try not to go during first trimester. Why i chose not to go is because the hot air inside the class was sort of suffocating me. I constantly needed fresh-air breaks. So i stopped it. I was all enjoying puking early morning and going to work. Bahh!! I lost like 7 pounds and was actually sad about it. People are constantly asking about my weight loss and i was like "I'm a preggie for gods sake" :)
Ppl say 2nd trimester is a honey moon period and trust me its so so true. At 4.5 months my nausea decreased and i had this india trip for 2 baby showers. It was heaven. I was all happy n gay :). I had no sensation of my baby yet. I somehow wanted him to kick while i was in india itself so that my parents n friends could feel it. But looo a week after we returned to US he kicked. (The kicks can be felt at about 22 weeks plus :) and we learnt that it was a "He".) It was 2 am in the night n i was like what on earth was that n woke up. All nice nice stuff! I would do some stretches now and then and sometimes go for a walk with hubby. I continued my schedule as is and planned to start walking once the suns out. Here any day, the docs suggest walking over any other exercise. My husband actually wanted me to do some water aerobics but with this phobia i have for H2O his desire didn't materialize. Both the baby showers went very well. Since it was 5th month ppl couldnt believe i was pregnant. You see i didn't have much tummy yet. The reason being my moms genes or that i was already a person with huge tummy n hence nothing much left to show yet :P or watever! i was just shunning everyone and indirectly saying mind your own business. My doc says i'm all fine. Every visit my weight, urine, baby's heart beat and uterus size were checked. My gestational diabetes test came negative and was happy. His # of kicks and heartbeat were all fine. So i was fine.
3rd trimester is all about a growing tummy. I was in love with my pregnant body. Being a plus figure alwez, i wasn't used to "You look perfect", "How do you maintain", "how are you even doing this?", "How are you this active". I loved my baby for this :P What i didn't like was nausea returned!! twice a week i was puking again. I was still normal and doing things in Shruz style only till i carried and played excessively with a frens daughter at a bhajan. That night i had shooting pain in my left butt and i couldn't walk. Tried hot and cold pack and hubby massaged. Still no help. Went to work like a limping beauty! I hated that phase, i hated the fact that i couldn't do anything in shruz style and pace. Doc said it might be sciatic nerve pain and it may/would last till birth. Mom was like its a sprain. Moms are right after all. I took pretty good care and pain was off in a week and i started my walk. Entire third trimester i walked a mile 5 days a week for sure. I was trying for normal delivery and had to do this. During this walk i learnt hanuman chalisa and made phone calls to frens and relatives. Another proud thing is i cooked every day and packed our dabba's without fail. So many colleagues and friends and my relatives appreciated me for that. 7th & 8th month i enjoyed photo shoots with hubby. He has done a fab job with the pictures. You should actually see it here: 7th month pics & 8th month pics. Tummy size became huge and i had put on 18 pounds by now, but i was still hearing people say it was too small. Doc confirmed that hez a pretty big baby checking the size of uterus. Baby had positioned well at the right time too. Parents were supposed to come early 9th month and due to an emergency dad was unwell and they delayed by 15 days. I was devastated. Was completely low and crying and MM handled me very well. I was worried how i'll handle baby iff it happens!! But something told me everythings happening for good and my baby will understand me and things will be fine. With docs permission went to NJ and had my 3rd baby shower there. Avva made nippatlu for me. Really sweet of her.
Then parents came and a week later my son was born. It was a normal delivery (though the doc opted for c-sec). Hubby was with me all through my 2 days of 6 minute contraction pains, 8 hrs in the triage, 8 hrs in the labour room and lastly 3 hrs of labour. (Very sweet and brave of him! Didn't expect him to do this for me.) At 1:11am on a Thursday a 21 inch, 7.2 pounds boy was in my arms. He was lovely. Me and hubby cried so much. I couldn't believe something so wonderful came out of me. God is really great!! My book has the details of my labor as well. Its a wonderful story which only MM knows.
Thanks God for everything! He is your lil' one before he became mine, please take care of him well!!

My LO - Introduction
Amidst all Binghamton-Boston confusion
a tiny-weeny life there was,
forming inside me. Unknown to me.
2 thin blue striped lines, linear and straight
exponentially brought happiness
and was about to change 2 sane humans fate.
Running my errands and completing my chores
i am reminded now i'm not alone.
Life was haywire and still settling down
Engulfed in silence for 3 whole months
with a secret only I felt and few others knew..
10 little fingers 10 little toes
10 minutes after i eat or drink
playing inside me is all i know.
swooshes n swishes n turns n kicks
every time you move, burp or hiccup
i would want to plant a big kiss on your cheek.
God is still painting you, they say
may you be the most beautiful painting ever till date!
P.S: LO means "Little One".
