Gluttony..

For those who haven't met Elisha...or seen her when she is eating or when we eat...then you will know her love for food and enjoy this!!!

Elisha will eat her food or drink her milk..and we make sure she is nice and full before either Tomy or me eat..but..this is the best part..She will come and stand next to us and look over our food with this look that says "oohhh i want that"..If this were to happen outside..a stranger would probably be like.."gosh these people don't feed that poor child..look at her cry and yell for food..and look at her eating it with sooo much gusto..mebbe we should call the Child Protection Services.."

So back to my story from today..we went to IKEA..by gods grace she was asleep when Annie and me were drinking our coffee and eating some snacks..by the time we checked out Elisha was wide awake..and then Annie sees Ice cream...that's when hell broke loose..

Elisha wanted to eat the ice cream..How do i know she wants to eat it?? Screaming..trying to jump onto Annie..and this is the besssttt part..She was smacking her lips and Licking her lips..i was in fits of laughter...and she managed to eat a bit of ice cream and half the ice cream cone!!!

Now there is an old saying in India..If you are eating something and the other person's mouth is watering over the food you are eating..then you will end up with Diarrhea!!!...If that saying is true..then Annie is in for big big BIG trouble tomorrow!!!

Happy Bubbas...

Firstly..Sorry linds for stealing ur thunder heheh :)

So you ask what is happy bubbas...well thats my online mommy group...online mommy group??? what the hell is that???

when i was about 2 mths pregnant with elisha..i started visitng babycenter.com...after one miscarriage i was sooo scared that i had to make sure i was okie with everything that was happenin..thats when i found July moms..all these wonderful ladies were due in July..we later called ourselves July Jewels..

We were initially a group of 35 odd women..a few of us clicked at the 1st go..while there were a few who u had ur doubts on..when Tomy heard about this he was a little skeptical..but now he loves them heheh

It was the best thing that ever happened to me in a long time...meeting these women and talkin about everything under the sun was soo much fun...by the time i reached work these women were all ready to hit the bed..stupid timezone differences...but i had soo much to catch up...and even though i wasnt a part of their chats on realtime..i was still welcome and loved...

Once all our babies were born we decided to move to another forum..n thats how happy bubbas was born...we had threads about Inlaws and the crazy things they do..or why our husbands can be soooooo difficult...or our childs milestones and developements...our marital problems..sex life..sharing recipes..u name it..it was perfect...till..

i guess this kind of person exists everywhere...This lady a mother of 3 thought she was perfect...a believer in god [so much so that it was my religion or u r going to hell]...and u name it...even though a few of us felt funny about her initially...we just moved on..till things got soooo craaazzzzyyyy...

This lady would say one thing on ur face and bitch behind ur back...everything she did was right..but if we did something it was totally not right...it got soooo bad that the 18 of us who moved to the forum started talkin out loud and when we started telling her about her behaviour and how we didnt like it...she took it as we r rude and left...the BEST thing to happen..but can someone be this batshit insane????

To the rest...I am sooo glad we r all together...and so glad we made it through that crap and glad we r all in one state of mind and a much more peaceful board..where we dont have to constantly boast about how good our sex life is..or how romantic u can get...or how u will go to heaven n everyone else will go to hell coz apparently we r lost..

Christy, Becca, Cortney, Erin, Jana, JenM, Jenny, Julie, Laurie, Lindsay, Tara, Teri and Wendy.. Thanks for being there when i needed a shoulder to cry on or someone to talk to when i needed...Thanks for all the advices..[chris might borrow that candle u know :p]..Thanks for just being YOU!! Cheers to us .. !!!

If you wanna read on about us and all the crazy things that happened..linds has written it very well in her blog..heres the link... Lindsays write up on all the stuff

Hello..

Elisha i believe is quite advanced when it comes to reaching her milestones..i am her mother and i am the best judge when i say this ! :)

at 9 mos she has mastered Crawling, Holding things and walking, Standing up by herself, Clapping and Pincer grasp..she imitates what we say too..if anyone of us sings she hums along..or tries to..

but the latest she does is hold her hand up to her ear and babble..now how she mastered the art of doing this i dont know..may be seeing her mother always on the phone musta triggered it..or the fact that i always shove the phone to her ear and ask her to say hi to my parents or friends..who knows...but its too cuteeee...all i say i hello elisha and she puts her hand up to her ear!!!!

shall click a pict n upload when i get there!!!!...

Look who is here..

So Tomy has been away the last 2 weeks..i barely managed to get hold of him and the next day he'd be gone!!..

On Wednesday tomy was out with his office mates and some clients on Client dinner..[all this socialising i tell u]..and Elisha n me were just chilling out at home..To all those who have been to our Tunacan appartment, you would know we have a back door in our kitchen and NO one ever comes to our place from that door..

so watchin House and all of a sudden i heard someone banging on our grill door at the back..okie i am a very strong and brave person...but being home along and hearing the bloody bang on the grill anyone would pee in their pants..so theres a door and then the grill..THANK god the door was closed..but the screw up was the grill wasnt..so even if i opened the door..whoever was on the outside could come in..

i went to the kitchen n asked who is it..[i thought it could be my neighbours sons..who soo love to scare the living lights out of me]..and again some banging..i had the phone with me n i was about to dial triplezero [to u americans that 911]..and then i hear this voice going..shit we better tell her else knowin her she'll call the cops..YES U ASS i would..i knew it was arun n opened the door n proceed to say oh its u..couldnt u come like any normal people..

n then i see this chick next to him...i was like who the hell is that..n then the tubelight up in the dark corner of my brain lights..its ANNIE..my stupid baby sister who was supposed to be here the weekend NOT wednesday..

So the 1st time in my life a surprise worked..heheheh..it was sooo great to see her...and there was LOADS of screaming..sooo much screaming that Elisha was clinging to me for her life and whenever she saw annie would burst into tearssss..aaawwww...

so there you go..Annie is here..and Elisha is having a time of her life with her aunt...

Motherhood..

Well..motherhood is such a great experience..

Elisha keeps me really busy..The 1st 2 months of her life my folks were here with us and it sure was a much needed help..with zilch sleep..terrible time breastfeeding and getting used to having a baby around..my mum made things sooo much easier for all of us :) thanks mum..









Mum n Dad with Elisha outside the Hospital


after she turned 2mos till about 6mos i was in BOMBAY!!!..it rocked..with mum dad and annie taking turns to look after elisha i was really enjoyin life..mum kept tellin me to just chill out coz once i go back with elisha things r going to be different...oh mum u were so right hehehe..











In Mumbai

and once we got back things were indeed different..it was just Tomy, Elisha n me..but now she is 9mos and very very very active..and very mobile..theres not a dull moment in our lives..i am constantly runnin around her and makin sure she doesnt pick up all the tiny stuff that is not visible to the naked "adult" eye...












Elisha at 9mos..

sayin all this..i am really enjoyin it..and which is why i quit my job and decided to be a Stay at home mum..

So to sum it up..motherhood is very very..
-Taxing
-Demanding
-high neeeed of patience [i have very less of that :(]
-High energy
-Multi Tasking

all those bullet points sounds like a requirement for a CEO post..heheh..but all that vanishes when your child comes to you and hugs you or kisses you..n then you realise all this crap u put up with is waaaaayyyy worth the love ur child gives u!!

Go MotherHoood!!!
