A BOY AGAIN!!

I am a mother of three boys! A full grown man( my husband) a six year old ( a super hyper one) and an almost three month old ( almost because i have lost track of the sleepless nights)

When i concieved my youngest i got two types of reactions...
The "thank god someone is also having a second child" look
And
The " she has guts and she is nuts" look.
 Well most of my friends had the second look and the first look was from friends who couldn't hide the second one.

No it wasnt guts..... it was an excited sperm which pretty much fooled us.

Initially I went through a guilt trip of loosing the dedication i had for my 6 year old. It's amazing how we worship our first borns ....but that didn't last so long...

 I started dreaming of how I would be blessed with a baby girl. How i could also boast of pinks in my house, the pretty dresses people could gift her Visa a vis  the boring blues, how she could be the Papas girl,and husband could grow to be a parent, how she would be smarter than boys in her class like most girls are, how fighting stories would change to chatting sessions , how there will be one more bestie to share  bitching fun.

I started googling and taking quiz tests to find the sex of my unborn child, each time I did it was a girl child... and I would be thrilled... if not I repeated the quiz... I started getting upset with people who said it would be a boy.. I almost threw out the Maid who said.. Didi ladka hoga.. pet se dikhta  hai ...

thats when my husband woke up from his slumber to notice his pregnant almost psycho wife.. he gifted me the golden book... the gita....hoping I would get some sense.


Till the time of arrival of my baby I was reading...fal ki chinta mat karo.. karm kiye jao... (don't think of the outcome, keep performing your karma). Well Krishna, you gave me the baby, i didnt have a choice....now the sex better be my choice.

And then the time came.. I popped!!!  That early morning I didn't see the tiny hands, or the tiny feet, or the tiny eyes... what I looked for first was the two tiny testicles and a penis

.it was a boy again!! FIR SE LADKA!!


That's it.. shruti... the Elsa anna  stories go out of the window.. you have to live with the superheroes  for the rest of your life!
The bathroom will always have pee on the toilet seat, the house will always be earthquake hit. The tv will always show the sci-fi And action movies... and I will be left alone with my shopping woes..

 And Then " it's okay " messages from all #motherofboys far and near started pouring in...
Chill no short dresses...long hair issues...for you...
They have similar interests.. they teach each other...
You will be the in control only female....they will all love you...
They make you run so much.. you will always be in shape.. 
You can give better men to the world.

And

Two daughter in laws (hopefully) to bitch about...so many stories...;)..

The aww I wish I could have a girl child like her has changed to thank God I don't have to deal with that...

God bless me!!

    Wonderfully expressed Shruti. I was smiling throughout while reading this...Coz felt connected. Believe me it is going to fun. But beware.. all your three boys will be a team in future. And ..:THE PINK" is all yours.. No sharing. Yes...I miss that......feminism in my house.

Aloo ..... meri jaan

I have never been able to understand the fixation of Indian moms of last generation with the Aloo. The amazement started with visit to my in laws just after marriage. A huge...like huge can was filled with fried aloo  papads... I wondered why she needed so much with just two of them staying. The entrepreneur in me said.. She would be selling these.. good business.. The next day she fried them...them all..and kept them in front of my lazy husband..... I was in the " so much calorie??" phase... my jaw dropped to see him.. munch away the papads one after the other...crunch crunch crunch...there goes another one.. before the plate finished it was dutifully replenished by my mil... who had that satisfying look...mere bachhe  ne kuch  khaya... Before the afternoon seista  with the aloo  papads  finished... I could hear my mil  discuss... aaj  aloo  paratha  banega....next day morning.. it was aloo  poha, lunch was aloo matar, aloo gobhi...and so on No vegetable was left alone.

Ten simple games for kids

Image
I have had lot of fun playing the games listed below. My six year old calls it mouth games. On those rainy days or while travelling where we could not run around they came very handy for a hyper child. The screen time while lunch of dinner was also taken care of. Hope you enjoy them as much as we do. 1 . Word Antakshari A game for the time when kids start associating sounds to alphabets. All you have to do is say a word with the letter which the previous word ends with. So if A says "bat", B has to say a word with Alphabet "t" like "train".  A the has to say a word with "n".The only rule is you can't repeat the word some one has already said. 2 . Spot the colour We started playing the as soon as  my kid and his friends were learning colors. I had to say a color and they had to spot anything around with that color. Either you ask the kids one after the other or ask them together and they spot two different things of the same co
