Scan result

We just returned from a scan visit. Your scan came out fine. Seems you weigh around 7 pounds which is very good. This time too they confirmed that you were a girl. But you are quite a character! You do not like it when the sonographer put her equipment on my tummy and you kept trying to escape to the other side. I always thought that you must be having a tough time lying cramped up in my tummy. Today though in the scan, you looked so cozy and comfortable that you do not look like coming out anytime now :(

Granma and I have finished decorating your room. Your Pappa though has not yet fixed the car seat!!!!

Make Haste

Hm...There are proverbs in tamil that go something like "Aakka poruthavanukku aara porukkalaiyaam" [The one who made the food can't wait for it to cool down]. Seeing that this anxiety is much bigger than the other one about hunger, I wonder why there isn't any proverb on the anxiety surrounding the baby's birth. Or is there?

Yes Chantel (Pavalan?), Even I am anxiously holding on to my mobile phone expecting news about your mom every minute. Come quickly..."

Doctor visit 14th Nov

We had another visit with the doc, this Mon. The doctor checked mamma and said that Chantal is not in any hurry to come out. Your pappa is a clever man. He told the doctor that granma was very anxious to see the ultra sound.By the way, granma was nowhere in the picture. She was sitting outside, not wanting to come into the room and over crowd it.

Anyway, having said that, he got his way and has actually scheduled an ultra sound, the next week. But he desperately needs you to come out. Only if you come out can he go to Florida to attend a seminar! So please come out!!!!

Baby Shower

Some of the good friends at Church gave a spectacular baby shower for you on the 6th of Nov. There were all kinds of diapers and clothes and all the stuff you require. They had a game, where they measured amma's belly with a toilet tissue roll and everybody else guessed the size of the belly. The person who right guessed the belly size won a small prize. It was good fun. Treena came to the baby shower as well and gave a whole bunch of stuff. She has promised to get stuff for you even when you get bigger. So keep her in mind if you want something!!!!

I picked up some stuff from the baby shower to decorate your room.Lets see how things go!

Doctor Visit - Nov 7th

Yesterday we visited the hospital again. We were hoping that the doctor would do an Ultra sound. But she didnt. She also said that she may not do it al all, unless there is an emergency. Amma wanted to see a pic of you. I wanted to make sure you are a girl!
Doctor also checked amma and said that you would not be born for another week! (Looks like you get excited whenever the doctor checks you! yesterday you were pushing amma's belly too much while the doctor counted your heart beat!) Amma is getting really big. She gained 8 pounds in 2 weeks. Lets hope she comes back to normal in the future. Amma also wants you to be born as early as possible. But it looks like we have to wait for some time.

surprise from appa

Appa can sometimes be the sweetest guy on plannet earth. He actually offered to drop us at St Louis mills. Granma and amma had a nice day shopping and just doing stuff we enjoy. Amma had her nails done etc. Of course, amma got Chantel some mittens.
Duane uncle sent you a diaper bin. Hopefully, Chantel learns to wean out of the diaper pretty soon.Lets see....., but it might be difficult to do that with all the cold weather and warm clothes you will have on you.
Jones periappa and Kelly periamma sent you some clothes. They are your Jeya annan and Jeevan annan's. They also sent you a music mobile, which I hope you will enjoy.
I guess thats it for now.
