Nine Months

Hello little one!

How have you been all this while…your moma has been busy lately. Both of us have been busy lately researching for a cot for you. We went to mothercare www.mothercare.com, a UK brand which has its branches in India as well. They have pretty decent pine wood cribs, cots and cot beds but on the expensive side. Then there is our friendly neighborhood Lifestyle www.lifestylestores.com, which also keeps Cots. They are made of compressed wood, not so sturdy enough but in a reasonable price range. We also discovered another infant furniture shop in south bombay, marine lines, called as Ideal Home www.idealhome.com. They have very sturdy cribs and cots. The wood is high quality teak wood and prices are on the higher side. We were almost finalizing the cot but i on visiting the store the second time i realized that the finishing was not that good. The hinges were visible and there were too many sharp edges for the child to get hurt. Secondly the dirt and dust in their store put me off! They claim to have clients like Bacchans and Ambanis but dont even care to keep their store clean. Hygiene is most important at a place which mostly pregnant women will be visiting. Anyways we said them a polite goodbye. We would bring the cot home in new year now.

Recently you had a growth spurt baby. Today your dad took some belly pics. I am posting them today as milestone pics.

Hello little one,

We are nearing the third trimester…i can’t believe it!!…and you are doing great! Moma just wanted to have a word with you…

As you know we could not attend your mama’s wedding and i was sad for quite sometime and could not write to you. Your dad was there and it was great fun. But my doc decided against my travelling so i had to stay back at home. All for you dear!!

These days i am busy preparing place for you in the home. We have just ordered a wardrobe for you from a furniture exhibition. I am searching the whole Net to get a suitable crib for you. I loved the 4 in 1 convertible crib plus changer which can be converted to a toddler bed later but the problem is that it is not available here and the US companies do not ship them internationally. I have got in touch with a store and have requested them to import it for us. Their buying team will do a pros and con analysis and let me know. In India, the separate crib concept has not picked up so much. People want their infants to sleep with them. But i want to build in independence in you early on and am also concerned  that if you sleep with us you might get hurt.

Btw, i have bought lovely clothes for you and making some bed covers myself. I have done embroidery on one and will do appliqué work on the other. Have also bought cute laces which i plan to stitch on to them later.

If you are born after 10 weeks, you will be considered full term!! And i am so excited about this!! Can’t wait to hold you in my arms…

Your dad has to do a delivery registry at the hospital soon. And i have to get my second tetanus shot…and of course to bring in your crib. So these are our pending tasks as of now. Love you dear! GROW BABY GROW!!!
