Good and Bad!

Its been long since I have posted anything new here.. Lot of things happened the past two weeks.. Some good and some bad. So many things to write about.. To start with the good things:

1. I get to sleep more and more these days (All thanks to Techm).
2. We are going to book for a new car tomorrow. (something which has been in our mind since a long long time now)
3. I am just 22 weeks away to hold Champ in my arms. :) My baby is about 7.5 inches long now.
4. India beat Australia in the quarter finals. Yaayyyy!!

And for the bad things that happened the past few weeks.. Mom was not well. She is diabetic and we realized it too late. It had shot up to 510 and that is high enough for someone to go into coma.  Mom has BP and spondylitis so every time she felt tired or weak she kept thinking its high BP and would just take rest. I feel so guilty that I never thought of getting a blood test done for her. Good thing is it has reduced a lot now.. It has come to the normal level and she is no longer on insulin. I couldn’t bear to see her take those injections everyday. But her health keeps fluctuating. She has not been feeling well today. I wish she dint have to work so much. I just hope she stays healthy and happy always.

It’s been a while since I have seen my baby on ultrasound. Champ is supposed to be able to kick now, but unfortunately I haven’t started to feel anything. Gets me worried sometimes. My next scan is only on 20th of next month. I can’t wait so long to feel my baby inside me. I wish I could start to feel him/her kick very soon.

We are getting a new car for me! yaayyyyyy! Initially we deciced that we'll buy the
car after my delivery as once my tummy grows it will be difficult for me to drive the car. But without a vehicle it has been very difficult for me to commute to and from office. I take hubby's car these day and poor chap has to go in his bike to office. Renjith's office hours are very weird. He works in BT timing. So he has to ride the bike in the scorching summer afternoons. As it is, he has a dark complection and now it seems to get worse!

India is facing Pakistan in the semi finals. How interesting can it get! I bit all my nails watching the match yday between India and Australia. By the time my nails start to grow back it will be India playing against pakistan. I just hope I don’t bite my fingers away then. A little part of me tells me not to watch the match as I am not supposed to get too tensed or excited during pregnancy.. But how I can not watch this match tell me? Wishing Indian cricket team all the best!

On an ending note, my prayers to all the victims of earthquake and tsunami in Japan that happened few weeks back. I can only imagine how difficult it must be for all the survivors. I received a mail just few mins back and it is so inspiring to see how determined the Japanese are. Hats off to them! Posting the mail thread here.


Japan fixed cracked roads in 6 days, rest of the world drop jaws





The amazing things about Japan at times really made us respect them. The culture and the ethics of the Japanese are things worth learning. When the 8.9-magnitude earthquake hit Japan, their roads cracked, and cracked roads are stopping or slowing down transportation of food and supplies to critical areas hit by the tsunami. Therefore Nexco Japan, the company that is responsible to repair the affected roads and highway of Kanto area. It took the company mere six days to repair and reconstruct a terribly damaged Kanto Highway, and the picture says it all.
