you know the best moment for me when Kaju was born? I had to check with the doc if she had her ears...in both the scans i had, i could never spot an ear on her...and i thought she is going to be earless baby !LOL..
but turned out she was all fine and cute :)

Hi Boo
Your description of the lady on the cover of the home pregnancy test had me giggling...i think it is Velocit by Dr Reddy's...even i used the same and i found the lady's expression funny..

I so agree with Ro & IBH. Some people get lucky :) Such cute picture of the two kids. Adorable! Kala tika.
cute tag :).. very cute pic.. looks like Antu pappa got her hair from her father's side? (since it doesnt look like yours and Ashu's;))
add me to the list of the envious! 4 kilos!!! unfair. also, those two look adorable in their matching tees!
Ok.. I take the credit for the matching Tees. Have been waiting for someone to mention it! Thanks Menaka!
No pain med and 2-4 hours of labor, I think we can look past that!! :-)
4 kilos ??? You mean 4 kilos ??
The question was weight gained during pregnancy ... not weight retained after pregnancy ... just making sure !!!
You have an awesome sister who finds matching clothes to those darlings ...

Checking your blog after a long time. I first found your blog shortly after my son was born and then you had your second baby. So I was kind of relating. Mine just had his first birthday. Amazing to see babies grow up right in front of your eyes isn't it?
