so many stimulations, so many sensory inputs and outputs both for the baby and the parents..
we are learning
i am learning how the baby develops this habit of sucking its thumb - simply because when it was hungry it was not fed properly.. so it takes to alternative means
this i learnt on the 2nd day of my baby being fed/semi-fed unfulfilled in its feeding because of its mother's nipples not being defined for it to suckle on them on the first day itself
the baby was fed on double toned milk on the first day though bujju was told that she has started lactating... but she was not able to learn how to feed the baby.. on the day 1
so over the last 5 days, today she seems to have mastered some art of feeding the baby directly on her milk on her nipples though she is lactating more than the baby needs...
chronicling the last 6 days is a tough one as the time passed quickly with lots of simultaneous stimulations..
looking at the baby itself, it's long fingers - like mine, it's elongated feet, like mine and it's nose like amma's though its lips and smile are like bujjus and her hair is like bujju's too...
so many things we are trying to grasp on to.. how the baby is listening, trying to focus and its brain trying to grasp as much as it can to survive... suckling for all its worth and falling asleep....
it's an interesting 6 days.. and i want to write more of it with pictures..
today 'Tattwa' had her first bath 'at home'

Amma Pappa anniversary
Amma Pappa's 40th Wedding Anniversary passed off with a set of arguments... with all sorts of arguments going around about bujju's family to visit us for helping out with her and the baby...
thoughts are numb and so are actions
the desire to get back to work and Bombay is not there but I have to... decide soon about the time back..
lets hope there is something more lucrative back home here.
bubbu is turning out to be a smart one.. so i think.. not sure how the mind works.. of those babies.

4 days AFTER
WoW . I am a dad.. and I Am not finding words to describethe last 4 days - including today of my life when time just flew by and I - on thought back - was totally focused on some specific tasks...
bringing my baby into this world and our life..
on 14th bet. 1000 and 1010 hrs IST, Punarvasu star and Dashami day, 'tatvam.s.sundaram' - unofficial as of now - was brought into this world by bujju's doctor Archana Baser, and her team of doctors.. including her assistant Akanksha..
I have a lot to write but little time for many things to tend to...
tatvam entered our house at 1420 hrs. on 170909 and will be the light of the family.. in all the times to come...
but yes, we are parents and amma/pappa celebrate their 40th anniversary tomorrow.. so
more from that time.. and state of mind along with the state of mind over the last 4 days...
tatvam's other name if any will be decided and all that jazz...

penultimate day
Raju and sisters landed at home - without prior intimation of their longer stay - meeting only at their last minute of Indore visit
pappa ended up showing them the whole house - a waste of time and unnecessary show of his level of thought.
unfortunate that pappa is turned out to be such a simpleton with a twisted mind
started off our journey to the hospital at 8pm landed at the hospital around 815 or so..
registration happened at around 827pm
the attendant doc sandeep vishwakarma entered some case history and put the time of operation as 1030am, while I had told baser the time of 10am, i guess they really don't care for the patient's time.. or they consider only those patients' time who are able to talk to them properly... we all seem to be totally lost to the ways of the world and am living in our own...
but that's the fact and i have to live with it...
bujju was given some initial preps and then at 945, they took her into the labor room for some tests for heartbeat monitoring.
before that they tested her for any kind of drug reaction and all..
i returned back with amma and pappa leaving lakshmi pinni there - at around 1120pm
tomorrow is the big day... lets hope for the best..
by 1045am.. we will be the real-dad-n-mom and we will have a totally new life to lead on
a journey that we began with a discovery on the 15th Jan '09 is culminating on 14th Sep '09
amma has been taking in a lot of pain and I am in no way able to find out how to keep amma and pappa going on together without the kind of tussles they are having.. even at this age...
please help god!!

Baby Day is here
14 September 2009 around 1000 IST, we should have you with us.. doctor has advised a C-section citing that you are not able to find your way out, and there is some likely obstruction that might be stopping you.. so she wants you out through operation...
may her thoughts be the right ones and may her procedure be the best... for all of us...
I bought a camera yesterday
travelled to Indore
and am ready to welcome you
i am hoping life moves ahead smoother and better now that you are here..
we all wait.. and amma and pappa all the more.. they have not been very traditional and hence they are not very aware of all the customs and traditions..
they are more than happy to have the baby in the house than do all these customs...
I am hoping to keep it simple, short and very convenient...
so help me god.. and may the baby be the best you have given so far!!!!

3 days Closer to D-Day
So here I am, in Indore, doing daily chores, running around the house work, but still have not got around to think and work on the new arrival...
i need to get things together in place and need to purchase things for the baby.. but still i am here and not anywhere else
yesterday went for consultation from Dr Julka. he suggested a change in diet, one chapati more than the restricted one, and PP blood test for 3 days to monitor the levels to be below 140.
hoping that it will be not a problem later... with insulin levels..
got the bank work done yesterday, hoping to tie up those ends soon..
today evening had Lifecell folks visiting to explain the plan and the options... and the purpose to get into it.. lets hope i can decide on this and go for it ...
need to look for reviews on it now..
YSR - CM of AP disappeared with his chopper over forests of AP... not sure if it has any impact on bubbu but who knows... what the butterfly effect can bring forth
It rained this evening.. while the lifecell folks were at home, around 6pm
good rain and even now, around 10pm it is raining... good for us all
bubbu's moving around.. i felt and i am getting ready for the baby...
but i am tense about work in the back of my head..
my head is worried about my busy schedules i will have later and i am trying to avoid it.
revisited some old photos of the early 60s - black and white - of amma and pappa
lakshmi pinni and uncle were here, last night uncle left and kiran will be here around the 9th..
listed down the nakshatra and tithis from 7th till the 14th Sep '09
still to figure out a good name... for the period of birth..
how to record the time of birth was suggested by Uncle and had an animated chat on that.. how to sync watches etc...
but is the actual time of birth that when the baby coming out into this world, or when the baby has first started moving its limbs.. which is the 34th week in this case??
