Since the last i wrote, I had so many moments till now to sit & write here. But none of it materialized. So now I am 2 days far from to be called 'Full- Term'. So its the last strech of pregnancy and in another 3 weeks we will have our kutti in our hands and she will be ruling us day and night.
Breif of what happened so far.
First hubs parents got visa!! Mom-in-law is going to come in 2nd week of Sept.
I had another ultrasound @ week 35. I was actually praying that i get to see her again. But she has grown big this time, so couldnt see her so well. But the u/s was feel good one as we got to know her progress.
She is weighing 5.17 lbs (2.7 Kg). She is head down & back front position. She is all set to start her journey outside. She has good hair ( i think so.. but it was all black in u/s so not sure how much hair). She is actually squeezed inside :). Doc was actually worried that she was measuring big and me being a small person she wanted an u/s done. But after u/s she said the baby is still in normal weight and all fluids were good so no probs. Though she might be a heavy baby (like mom) :)
The platelet prob is still there. But good news that its stable @ 74.
In this weeks check up my legs were all swelled up. I think its cos I ate pickle for 2 days :(.. So doc was saying that in one week if it doesnt subside, she will ask me to be at home & rest.
Thats actually a gud news. Because I wanted to start my leave from Sept 1st, but hubs was not for it as he think i will be lazy for one and 2nd worry abt silly stuffs.. Even work wise they are asking me to come till 10th Sept. But i am praying I can start my leave from 1st!! Everything will depend on the doc visit next week.
Doc was saying that
We got a cradle & some used baby clothes from one of my friend!! So all things are brought. only thing pending is wash all her clothes & stuffs and pack my hospital bag! And ya we are yet to book tickets for mom-in-law.
So all set for her highness Ms Vibha Roy (alias) Sonuva arrival :) For now just counting of days... I really want a normal delivery though the pain scares me & also no option of epidural.. it might be tough, but still somehow want a normal one. So daily hubs makes sure i get all my walking he is now my health inspector :)
Weird thing is hubs is having all symptoms same as mine.. he has food craving, fast nail growth, shiny hair, up & down of emotions and ya a small *bump* :) umm... may be i shud ask doc to check him up ;)

Sister
I have an elder sister...I wont say we were close friends or something.. But ya we did has a good sister stuff when we grew up. When we were in school, we used to fight a lot and its usually me who goes crying to mom. I am the big fan for all the dishes my sis used to cook. I was the personal assistant for her in cooking department. When I entered my adolescent age, she helped me out in getting in terms with it. When we were growing up she passed any tips & tricks to me.. Then she started her college.. and later me started college.. I think something during that time changed a lot. She always felt that my parents are pampering me and spending lotsa money on me and not on her. Some complex got in and she used lotsa sarcasm to let me know of it. She is always is a person who used to say 'I told u so' when I am actually in trouble. So college done and me was trying for MS and she for marriage. Fortunately she got what she wanted from my BIL and came to US. She did contributed financially for mom n dad.
But somehow I feel that she was never there emotionally when I needed her or not in the sense I needed her. May be I concluded so when I see hubs side and his bonding with his sister/brother. When I was trying hard to convince my parent for my wedding, she didn't open her mouth. She was actually protecting her place in family... and she is always like that. She wont risk her position for me.. May be I am wrong in expecting so.. I don't know. But I am person who stopped keeping any expectation from any of my side people..
This week she had planned to go to India for holiday, but in the last min it got cancelled. Here we were trying to get hubs mom visa so she can be here for my delivery. So when trouble came and it was doubtful whether MIL will be able to make to consulate, we both were worried on what will happen if MIL is not able to come.
Hubs were all positive and was telling me that now since your sis is here, she would be able to come and help. So when i spoke with her, I explained her the situation and asked her whether she can make it. But she simply refused. She was thinking of all kinda excuses. She was suggesting that why don't I ask mom. It hurted me. I know I should have known better before asking her. When she itself not ready, how will my mom who hasn't talked to me after my marriage will consent to come and help me now... When Hubs heard my sister reply, he started making sarcastic comments, but stopped it when he saw my face.
So I was wrong in thinking that, just because someone is talking with me and saying caring words that they will do anything for me. Everybody have their life and wants to protect their position in it. It doesn't matter whether they r your parents or sister. Would it mean that they were not a good parents or was not a good sister. I don't know. That would depend on the definition of 'parents' and 'sister' correct? Do I think that were not good. I wont say that, I should not be comparing them with others correct. I know them and now I know their priorities. I am not perfect daughter or sister, similarly they are also not. That's the story. Ya maybe next time when arguing with hubs over family this could be a negative point but its OK. That's that. No use in crying over spilled milk!
