Now that the bump is really showing (I'm making no efforts to hide it.....flaunting it rather)
this is what i'm getting to hear
"Are you expecting?" (yes thats not fat you know)
"Are you going the family way?" (Errr... dont i have a son already?)
"Are you carrying?" (yes thats my uterus working really hard)
Someone really rude will come and touch my belly and then ask "can i touch?" well NO back off
but the more strange ones come from mums of 2-3 year olds
"You really have some guts haa?"
"Good Luck man its going to be so much work"
"Why?"
"Another one? Who has another one in this age and time?"
Well only those who have one already.....I mean i know of a lot of people who have 2 or more for reasons best known to them.....My having another one is not a statement.....its not an act of defiance.....or me trying to prove any point.....My reason is very simple....I'm having another one because I'm simply and totally in love with my first one....The last 3 years have been the most amazing time of my life....Watching this little pound of flesh who came out of me turn into a beautiful person is a miracle....The way he is becoming a little person creating his own identity.....watching him grow every day has been like being in an amazing experiment.....
So i'm having another one because i want to feel this high of mother hood again.....and its more fun this time coz Arav is in on it with me....We are talking about the baby everyday....we are talking to the baby everyday....In the night he takes the bottle of aloe vera gel and slathers it all over my belly....while talking to the baby about his day....He practices pre-natal yoga with me and reminds me to take my vitamins....he fetches Digene for me whenever he sees my "god-damn-this heartburn-face"
Here is how our going to bed prayer sounds like
Dear God pls give us a healthy happy baby ---- Arav adds " i promise to share my toys with the baby"
Someday it is " i will take care of the baby but not clean his/her potty
Someday it is " i will sleep with mamma and if the baby comes in between i will kick him/her off the bed" at which point we stop talking about the baby.....
Well of course it will be challenging.....but we will have fun... Me Arav and Anushka/Aarush ( names picked by Arav for the baby)
So yea go ahead wish me ... congratulate me.....and while you are at it sign up for baby-sitting :)
