Would b baby BLUES!..WHAT DO I DO!!

The other day we had a departmental meeting,after the meeting i was chatting with a collegue of mine(mother of 3 kids)

She asked me " which month now(of pregnancy)"
I said " Sixth month has just started "
She gave me astonished looks and expressions and said " You dont look like you are gonna start 6th month na "..seeing directly at my tummy...!
I tried to make excuses and said " nahi ,nahi,aisa nahi hai...i'm wearing a loose coat na today,may be thats the reason its not obvious "
But she wasnt conviced with my explaination ,gave me a dissatisfied look and said " Noo!....even then ,u dont look like..."
Finally i asked her what should do to..look like
She said " EAT!! "....ok,okkk...

The other day i saw Hritik Roshan's wife' pic in the news paper(i think she is in her 8th month)...her tummy is really sooo big...i wonder what the lady is eating...hehee!!

Again yesterday my sister in law had visited her...thank God she was cautious enough not to stare directly at my tummy,but she did notice it..
Thats the reason she said " U dont seem to have put on weight,the way you should have by now...tell me did your weight increase in the last check up? "
I said " No "(infact it had decreased a lil last month,but i didnt tell her)
She said "EAT..everything,dont bother about weight gain now,you will reduce after delivery..but now EAT every now and then.

This did not end there...my sweet SIL then said " the new born will be FAIR if u EAT plenty of Pomogranates and Apples "
To this my dear MIL also made her contribution and added " baby will be fair if u DRINK milk Kesar(Saffron) "...ok,okkk...

NOW, how do i explain to my dear dear people that beacuase this is my first pregnancy ,the tone of my abdominal muscle will be very good and thats the reason my tummy is not sooo visible as of now...it will become obvious in the later months of pregnancy!! what do i do to make my self..LOOK LIKE PREGNANT!!

AND...colour of the baby will be depend on the genes genes he inherits!!!...THANK GOD!!they did not ask me to apply FAIR N LOVELY on my tummy saying that it would penetrate my skin,uterine wall etc and show its effect on the baby...heheee!!!

BUT....whats so wrong even if my baby is born dark chocolate coloured..BIG DEAL??!!....it still remains mine!!

My mommy dear is nitting a sweater for the baby...shoo shweet!!( though i didnt like the colour of the wool she has chosen)and my MIL has asked me not to scratch my tummy even if i feel itchy or else it will give me ugly strech n scratch marks...This is a good sweet advice!

Anyways......HAPPY HOLI TO ALL MY FRIENDS!!!....ENJOY!!!!

Feeling Better!!

(one of the Medical Representatives gave me small booklet by name “Choti choti baatien”…I liked a few things in there…thought of posting one of them…)

** When you are feeling down,
Focus your thoughts on this question.
What can you do that would help you feel better?
Instead of filling your mind with doubt,self pity,resentment,regret and despair,
Fill it with thoughts and plans for moving positively forward.

There is something that will take your focus off, of whatever has already happened and direct your thoughts firmly towards the best of what can be.

Pay no attention to how you’re supposed to feel or how you’re expected to feel.
Decide for yourself how good you would like to feel,and then take the steps that will get you there.
It will likely be much easier than you think.
For once you choose to feel better,
It quickly begins to happen.
It sounds too simple to be true,yet it works with surprising and delightful effectiveness.
When you decide to help yourself feel better,you will.

What can you do that will help you feel better?
You’re just a moment away from making it happen!! **
