The Journey with Moha(my niece) & my lovely sister - 2

[Dear new readers,

After seeing all these cute and great mommy blogs, I feel I have something similar, from a different point of view to tell about my one and only niece. I just wanted to share the feeling of being an aunt for the first time. Especially when u have just one sister as sibling and the child is the first one in your family, it is almost as special as being a mommy urself!! Can you believe it? U will start believing it as soon as u finish reading this series of my posts...Now read the second one in the series. To read previous posts, go to Being an Aunt and Sister Now, read on..]

After her birth, the only talked about issue seemed to be what colour her shit as well as pee is!!. Any colour changes had to be discussed with the doc as well as all the previously experienced mothers and grandmothers. Any talk seemed to revolve around her. I was her favourite shitting/peeing place I can say. As soon as I take her, she either pee or shit on me!! For the first time in my life, I felt I am enjoying someone shitting on me. I was happy as a dumb when people said that she is comfortable with me. She used to sleep on my chest so peacefully as she sleeps on a bed.

{That's moha & me jubilant, simply without any reason!!}

She was a good baby except when it comes to feeding her. She will play for hours together. Then we will feel,she might be hungry. But giving her food, even after long hours of play used to be an exhausting ordeal. It got more difficult as she grow. As long as she is healthy it is ok.... My sister used to get mad by walking behind her just to give her a single piece of baby biscuit or a small amount of home made food. We tried all sorts of things like dancing, singing etc etc to get one small piece of food/biscuit inside her cute little mouth.

Before going back to scotland we had her christening done. Unnichettan game back again from his work to take them back and for christening her.

{This photo of three of them was taken during her christening day party}

She was five months old then.After christening they went back to scotland. Leaving us here...

I loved each and every moment with her and miss her more than anything else every single day of my life.

She used to have such an attractive spirit with her...!! I don't know whether every babies have it. I just know that my moha have it and I am proud to be her aunt.

See the video.., I had to cut most parts of it{Due to censoring reasons!! We all were looking like Neanderthal Men & women with clothes!! Had to cut it}. This is the least interesting part in the whole video..., so u can imagine how much she was dancing that day...!

One{among several} of my favourite videos of my Moha aka ponnunni when she was here with us{sighh...}::::

{Watch it.... I really loooovvveee this one!}

Liked it na?? I am sure you did.

The Journey with Moha(my niece) & my lovely sister - 1

After seeing all these cute and great mommy blogs, I feel I have something similar, from a different point of view to tell about my one and only niece. I just wanted to share the feeling of being an aunt for the first time. Especially when u have just one sister as sibling and the child is the first one in your family, it is almost as special as being a mommy urself!! Can you believe it? U will start believing it as soon as u finish reading this series of my posts...Now read the first one in the series.

{Hey, my readers who is waiting for my 'last 24 days in India' posts need not be disappointed 'coz I will keep updating it at night when each day is over!}

My sister, my 'chechi' came back here from scotland with some bleeding problems. She was scared to have her first delivery there and it was also freezing cold out there. So she came here to kerala( 'the god's own country') as well as to mom, dad and me. We were ready to give her all support and was waiting for her arrival. Just to see her 'pregnant' was an experience for us!

I would like to start with this event:

She had a birthday with moha inside her..!! Unnichettan(my bro-in-law) was not here. SO here is she cutting cake while talking thro' phone..hi hi. I consider this as her first birthday with moha.

{cute bump right??Hope that she won't kill me for putting up this photo in here!!}

Don't think she was as happy as this always. She was having all sorts of problem along with skin allergy as part of hormone difference happening in her body. She had backpain, leg pain, muscle cramps{mostly at odd hours in night, as if cramps want both of us to be awake all night!!} and all sorts of pain that you can imagine in a human body plus allergy!!. As she gains weight easily{not at alllllll like me..I am a stick and she is just the opposite of that}, we tried getting her all sorts of vitamins from vegetables itself. We gave her meat and fish only the necessary quantity. There was no use of all this actually. She gained weight..tremendously.... after delivery....Now she is veryyy fat. As soon I reach there, we are going to start all exercise regimes possible to reduce that weight!

The worst part of pregnancy is the tension of having a life inside you and u being fully responsible for its health and its safe landing on to this wonderful world. She was veryy very worried about that. {I was tooo. but never shows it in front of her, even if everything is burning with fear inside me, i would just say 'Oh that's not a problem, silly..I read it in a magazine/doc told/mom told that this happens usually'(which magazine,which doc??god knows)}

She was supposed to count the number of movements Moha makes inside her tummy in an hour. If it is falling short,we should immediately go to the hospital!.We used to go there almost every week, atleast once/twice saying that the movement has fallen short. This was actually because she had excess amniotic fluid and that makes the baby's movements less obvious to her!

After all this, suddenly one day we discovered that the baby is having the chord around her neck and a surgery is needed. This made us more tensed{I had a little relief because now we will be knowing 'when' this is going to happen, rather than running to the hospital at that moment}.

The D-day arrived and we waited outside the labour room in prayers,our fingers crossed, to see our little angel. This is what we got after 2 hours....

{Ok that was exactly not the moha we saw first...This is after the nurses giving her a bath.}

The moha we saw first was:

{that's my moha straight from her mom's womb}

{That's her cute legs after bath but still has a lot of water inside her body!}

{She had lot of hair,not only on head but on body as well, when she was born..Just look at that!}

{That's her chweettt hands...}

We were all sooooooooo happy about having moha. She was completely healthy, a girl and moreover a cancerian like me, looking like me!! What I could've asked more to god? I looveee God just because he showers so much blessing like this on our family and me.

Needless to say, I was one of the mooooossssssstt delighted people on her arrival and here's how I looked{without bath and sleep for days!!}

{That's me smiling down at my beauty!, The women near me is Sharadha chechi who used to help us to look after the new born...}

{That's me talking to her...(god knows wat??)}

{Am I looking like I have a squint????? OMG!!}

That's it for now guys.Rest of the story later.

(to be continued...)

Love,

What is at the centre of my heart?

My ponnunni(Moha) taking her beauty bath

What is at the centre of my heart??? This post is dedicated to my one and only niece, ponnunni(Moha Manesh). I am writing this in the event of her 6th tooth coming out yesterday!! That qualifies as a reason to celebrate as far as my family is concerned. She is not only at the centre of my heart but everyone's. This is the immediate 'consequence' of being born as the first baby in a family. I thought I loved my chechi(my sister,Paurnnami Manesh) so much. But when Moha was born, I felt I don't love chechi as much as I love her(Hope chechi doesn't see this..otherwise she is gonna kill me..hi hi). I miss her a lot... Unnichetten(My brother in law, Manesh Varghese who is a brother more & in-law less),chechi and Moha are settled in Scotland. It is said that photos talk more than words. Here I am uploading some of her snaps which tells how sweet she is without actualy telling it!!

Chechi,Unnichettan & ponnunni...

ponnunni delighted in her appa's hands

Ponnunni happily swinging..ohhhla la la

Seriously checking the plug's connections...

This time chechi had to scold her to stop playing with plug. But she doesn't seem to care much about it. Ha ha ha.Will write more about her soon. Right now I have to go... a little busy!!

Love,
