Rewind to 2008

Last August I was pulling myself to work each day with a 7 month pregnant belly, dreading the downtown traffic, getting ready for the baby shower and checking all the things that had to be bought to bring home baby ..

This August, I am excited about my India trip next month .. with my kutti ladoo .. I've never travelled alone internationally, so I am spending a lot of time carefully planning .. What change in dynamics .. My list itself is pretty long I consider, now I have Archu's long list of items to pack .. not to mention the 100s of diapers that need to dump into the baggage .. gotta be fun and I am loving it.

A couple of pictures for you. What surprised me.. Archu looked a me and said 'thank you amma' with a beautiful smile, and then gave me the happy hug !

Relish it with him/her leaving no regrets. - Your parents love you the most, and you love your parents as much as they love you inspite of any past arguments. - Never make someone feel like they are less worthy than you. - Never show off, because everyday is not sunday.
