Sanjay's Baby Books For Peanut
Sanjay's work requires him to travel just about every month, on average. To make the situation a little better, he brings me back a little surprise from his travels. Last time he brought me back some coco butter soap that is supposed to help with stretch marks. This time he brought home two books for Peanut, one called "My Baby Book" based on Guess How Much I Love You and the other called "Five Shiny Stars". Five shiny stars is a book about a cat that looks like Colby.
I thought this gesture was so sweet of Sanjay. Sanjay read them to me one night that I wasn't feeling good and I got a tiny tear in my eye when I imagined Sanjay sitting in a rocking chair reading to little Peanut. What a precious sight.

Goodbye First Trimester, Hello Second Trimester
I am officially out of my first trimester. Thank God! I feel like I am getting better. I haven't had a day that I couldn't get out of bed or talk in a while (other than the day I went to the hospital which was about a week and a half ago.) Sometimes I have great moments and others I am so sick that I just have to lay as straight as a pencil. There are so many inconsistencies in pregnancies, but one things that everybody agrees on is that you feel your best in the second trimester. I am praying that the second trimester will allow me to get back to exercising, eating a variety of foods, and of course feeling better.
I am sorry for being a bad friend, co-worker, wife, sister, daughter, cousin, and granddaughter to all of you. I'm sorry for not calling you back, having to cancel plans, and not performing to my best ability. I hope you understand that I am just going through a rough time and I will be back to myself in no time. I do try to remain optimistic, but I also miss my hubby. He will be back on Saturday.

My In-Laws....What Can I Say?
Bet you thought I was going to write something bad based on the title right? TRICKED YOU!
Can I just say that I love Sanjay's parents so very much. They are so caring, helpful and empathetic. They are always willing to help Sanjay and I, and have several times. They are always feeding us, making us relax (which we both need sometimes), and bringing us things we need.
I feel honored to be welcomed into their family and I absolutely love hearing their stories. Did you know Sanjay's Grandmother (his mom's mom) owned an orphanage in India? and Sanjay's Grandfather was a sumo wrestler? Did you know Sanjay's dad used to hunt tigers? These are just some examples of what an amazing life they have lived thus far.
I can't believe how at home I feel when I go to their house. Just the other day I sat and the couch and before I knew it I woke up to them whispering in the dark. They didn't want turn on the lights or make any noise because they were scared they would wake me because they knew I wasn't feeling good. They are so sweet!

Turn for the worse turned good
Unfortunately after a day and a half of feeling a little bit better, I had a turn for the worse and ended up in the hospital. I was in so much pain that I couldn't even walk and could barely talk. I was so concerned for the baby. My friend Gretchan came to take me to the hospital and Sanjay met us there. I thought Gretchan would just leave after dropping me off to go back to work. But she didn't; she stayed there with us the entire time. Thank you so much Gretchan and Sanjay. My mom also came and spent the night with us. She helped with things we needed around the house. Thank mom.
The great news is that all of my vitals were fine and I was just dehydrated. One doctor told me it was pregnancy related and the other told me it wasn't, so who knows. The best part of the entire event was that we got to hear Peanut's heartbeat. It was beating kind of slower than I thought it would be, but I thought it was so cool that I cried happy tears. We later found out that it was my heartbeat and not Peanut's. DUH! Luckily a different nurse came and wanted to check for herself because there were no notes from the midwife who checked it the first time. We got to hear it for real this time. It was much faster, beating around 165. I cried again and Sanjay just kinda stared at my belly in a happy shock.
