Hi Guys!

How are you all doing! It’s been the longest gap for my blog. So much has happened that honestly I do not know where to start..

I really really missed writing. Incase you are wondering why I took a long gap, well it’s because in November 2019 I got pregnant. I was ecstatic, confused, anxious and shit scared. K and I planned our baby and decided that it’s the right time, now that we have enjoyed, travelled and spent enough time together as a couple. It was time for 1+1 = 3. While I was over the moon, the body changes, fatigue and hormones took a toll on me. My first trimester I was just on bed. Either sleeping, feeling nauseous, always hungry and sometimes feeling very low too.

I was also little scared about jinxing my happiness which was the prime reason for going off blogging and Instagram. Hardly few people knew about my pregnancy and I just shared about mostly my art or the books I was reading.

Anyway, the 9 months of my pregnancy were brilliant minus the “sicky” feeling and general nervousness. I did not have any major symptoms. I ate everything possible. Watched movies, painted, read books and was pampered left right centre.

(Pregnant women, please enjoy your pampering days because once the baby is born then that “wonderful fuss” over you will never happen again). The bump is a magical time!

And then the Pandemic happened!

I had to cancel my babymoon. I could not do a photoshoot. We were just home. K and I shifted into our dream home one day before the lockdown was announced! While the world suffered from the Corona virus, K and I made the most of our time together at home. We spent the whole day cooking, eating, cleaning and watching shows. And we loved it! Loved our freedom, loved our home and loved every moment. Of course there was a lot of tension too. Hospital visits, the stress of the virus affecting the baby, being alone at the gynac and in the sono room, stressed about our parents and countless other things.

And then in June one day after my birthday, my little Yuj came into our lives! And our universe shifted! A love that has no words, no conditions. A love that we had never felt. A love that expanded our heart and soul by infinite. All we now care about and our sole purpose is our son. His wellness, his growth and his success.

This is Yuj! My Mother named him. It means “to unite” and “the roots of yoga”. He is now 13 months old! Where time flies I really do not know. He is growing up so fast!!!! And now obviously my blog too will centre around him because he is life. My life.

I need to feed him lunch soon. My little coconut has his own personality. His own quirks. Loves biscuits and tasty food. But my good boy also eats his roti sabji everyday. Loves cheesy pasta and dosa but needs a little khichdi too. I am lactose intolerant but I am glad he is just like K. Mad Milk lover!!! His sloppy kisses make our day. His laughs and giggles turns our frown into smiles.

While some days are extremely exhausting and difficult, he makes it all worth it. Our biggest blessing.

Anyway, enough about Baby Y. I will keep sharing about my journey, postpartum, tough times, good times, changes in my relationship post Y, everything here from today. I thought about microblogging which is basically sharing and writing in short on Instagram but it’s not my cup of tea. I cannot just express in one paragraph. I would rather write here. Freely.

Thank you to all those who have read my post and continue to follow me. I am so glad to write again!

This pandemic has been tough on everyone.. mentally, physically, financially and mainly emotionally. Wishing you all well!

There is so much more to share! Until my next post!

Oh my God! I forgot to add one more update! We were already going crazy handling one baby and then we go and get another one! K always wanted to puppy and I myself have grown up with two dogs! So when Y turned 6 months, we got Bira home! Our beautiful golden retriever! She is 9 months now! Hungry for attention, she will happily welcome a thief into our house!
