Road to ParentHood-5

Now when I am back on Blogger,I am already a mother to a 4 month oldie--infact will be 5 months on June 31st.

But anyways I will start from where I left off in this Series.

December 2007: We had planned everything for our vacation to be starting from the 20th. So I planned to get my leave from 16th itself as I wouldnt have to rush with all the shopping and packing at the last minute and make things hectic.

On 14th went for final check up at the clinic here and then askd them about the Doc's certificate for travelling..She gave me the certificate and all my papers for further reference when I reach India.

But we had Eid holidays coming up on the same time..SO I combined my leave with those and went to work till 17th December. Till this day I was feeling everything okay except for my bulging tummy. I called up the Airlines offie to chek if medical certificate within one week was acceptable..Then the officer informed that since I was travelling in 32nd week, so I should carry a letter issued withing 24 hours.

On 17th one of our friends was coming on transit for few hours..So we went in the afternoon to collect her and then my husband went to work after our lunch. He dropped us at a shopping mall..and we had gone throughout the entire mall. Walking and walking..but still i was still fit and fine. but from then on I started feeling a bit heavy in my tummy . Like earlier eventhough I walkied a lot I dint feel any tiredness. But now I started feeling it.. Became very heavy to walk after sometime.. I also used to feel numbness in one leg at times..especially during sleeping..etc.

Then we left her at airport on 17th night... two more days..packing all set...On 18th we went to another pvt hospital to get the renewed med certificate as the govt hospital we were showing was closed that time due to Eid holidays.She cheked and once againg confirmed that everything was fine.

Now my niece who was also travelling with us joined us and then we all jointly went to airport and took the midnight flight..Luckily by some mutual understanding with our copassenger..we three got seats in single row...and that too the front seats...So I had enough leg space and journey was not much tiring as it is only about 3-3& half hours.

No problems during take off..BUt a small jerk during the landing..THats the only discomfort... Finally back to homeland.

My brother and Amma had come to welcome us...Nice to see them especially amma after long time.. Suddenly felt...Hey amma has suddenly got a more older look than beforeMaybe she lacked sleep as they had to start early morning to reach airport in time..thats y the tired look on her.--ya that was true..coz after one day she was back to her spirited self..runnign around and taking care of everything around.I dont know what we would have done without her through all these years..Gues sI should do a seperate posting about that.

We drove directly to my home to see everyone as it is on the way to my hubbys home...
I could see everyone there...My brothers, Sis in law- also pregnant and with the same dates as me.Now seeing me all commented that I looked like Xmas pappa with his big belly. Earlier they used to mail and phone me and say that my sis in law was having big belly and had put so weight..But now seeing me in real, they all changed their comments and said that I was bigger now.

Then we had a breakfast there at home and started off towards my husbands-(referred to as S from hereafter for easy reference) home. We reached there and soon S had to go for shoppiing wth his Mom and Sis and they were going shopping with my younger sis in laws fiance and his family.So that way he could meet them also..Meanwhile me and my niece had a long deep sleep and made up for the tiredeness of the journey.

To be continued.........
