An Update

The week gone by has been phenomenal Figzywise. She managed to pack in several firsts in those seven days.

Figlia has begun responding to her name. She turned her neck to face me when I called out, and husband has been 'testing' it too. She acknowledges it!

She began making new kind of noises. When she has turned to mush from my kisses, she shows it...she has a throaty laugh now...and will call out to her toys in the same babylese.

I can tickle her! Not the feet, but tummy and under-arms tickling definitely gets her giggling. This has been happening since a while now.

And well, we are still rolling sideways from our back or from belly on...but....but.... one morning, she just decided to raise her head while lying on her back, and she has been doing it with increased frequency. She can raise it a good five cms and more....I almost expect her to just sit up, just like that. She has been sitting supported for a while now.

And she turned five months old today.

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.

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.
