4w1d

A tingling sensation coursed my veins when I typed the title of the post...how does it feel to actually say it, to type it, to think it, to be it?

Anyways, I have my list of good blood tests coming up. I have taken half day leave for Friday, and a full day off for Saturday, and I will do the needful then. I would be ready with the reports when I get to my next appointment with Dr. BS.

I had some heavy invigilation duty imminent on Sunday, and the only way I could duck it would be the Saturday off. I want to duck it. I have done my share of those in the past, and would not want to indulge in it right now. I can probably get excused by revealing, but I don't want to reveal yet.

And oh, a colleagueriend(colleague+friend) knows. I told her. I would not feel very bottled up now, and she is 'leak-safe'.

My life would turn a page every Tuesday, and I hope hope hope to be all good to read through each of it.

Birdman came home today morning. I had put in two paper slips, one over his clothes in the almirah, and the other in the shelf where he keeps his shaving kit/deo. He came, opened the almirah, arranged the contents of his pocket on the right place, and did not see the paper slip.

I got impatient, and told him to please concentrate on the contents of his part of our almirah. There it was, a paper slip that said:

'Birdman Papa'


He smiled...it was not a huge grin, nor very subdued....it said w.o.w. without saying it. He told me that his sixth sense was kicking him this tip since y'day when I told him that there was something I wanted to discuss.

I have given up driving. I would be driven around from this point forward. I find it very stressful, and the road that I need to use daily has its fair share of bad in terms of potholes, ill-designed speed breakers, and horrible traffic.

We will be good.

    Yes, I think all of us pregos should be taken care of during the entire pregnancy. Including being driven around - what a great idea!!!

    Good luck at the blood appointments!

I Should Have Known

...On the night of 19th when my breasts became hard and sore to touch, the nurses brought me hot water bottles rather than my baby. I should have known. ...Birdman was apparently away to Very Big City with our baby. Every SMS update sent to me about her after 16th Jan was fake. I was a donkey eating at his trough. I should have known. ...Visitors who came to see me in the hospital did not look me straight in the eye. I should have known. ...My mother sounded reluctant every time I asked her on a timeline on when my stitches would be cut and I could travel to Very Big City. I should have known. ...I grieved at how many pricks and tubes were affixed to my little baby while she lay cold and unfeeling at the bottom of an earth pit fatigued from all the effort she put into staying alive. I should have known. ...Family dropped clues on how oxygen deprivation could affect the brain. I spelt it out for them. I told them that Lola was my daughter even if she came out r-e-t-a-r-d-e-d from the o...

Season...

With very limited time and access to the netz, I just want to declare that Lady Season is here. She arrived last Wednesday, and I will someday in future speak of how due to SuperPed's preparedness a crisis was averted. I tend to have firework endings. Her with me, and my first chance of mothering is like a spray of cold water on my face. I am very sleep deprived. Apparently, wise birds said to me that I should sleep when the girl sleeps, but so far my body schedule and kid's schedule are haywire. I hope to be better adapted to this soon. It is tough for me to find net time as of now, and there are a couple of things I want to post online, since CBub's dates also passed by recently, but so far it does not seem to be happening. And I just want to say thanks. Even though I am craptastic at responding, I am reading off and on as I can manage.
