2013 - A year in review


2013 was a year of thick and thin for me. Some highlights as I reflect on it today when it ends:
  • April: Kabir turned 2! What a great milestone! Not only did K turn 2, he became more interactive, more curious, more interested in anything and everything around him, started pre-school. He started playing with puzzles, learning and speaking new and complex words and sentences, building blocks, reading through pictures, developed a strong love for things with wheels!


  • April:  Family Reunion - It's always fun when my family gets together. This time we were together for Kabir's birthday and had a great time connecting. I look forward to our reunions and the time spent together and the memories we make are always very close to my heart.






  • April: Trip to Miami with my Mom and cousin - It was perfect weather and great company. It was also K's first time at the beach and he sure had a ball spending time in the ocean and playing with the sand!



'
  • June: Trip to Portland - My brother and my sister-in-law bought themselves a lovely home earlier this year. We had a chance to visit them and be part of the housewarming! We were there for a week and had a great time!




  •  June: I came over my fear of dogs; at-least slightly, thanks to Chubz, my brother's puppy!




  • July:  I switched jobs - Moved from RosettaStone to Concur Technologies.
  • September: At the onset of my third trimester, I got diagnosed with pemphigoid gestations; a rare skin condition that causes severe itching and blistering. I am still going through it and how I pray no one has to ever suffer through this disease.
  • October: Tarun made it to the front page of India's national dailies for selling his last company! What a laurel! So proud!
  • December: Delivered a healthy baby boy; Vir Evan who made me fall in love all over again! We are blessed to have Vir in our lives. Kabir is enjoying being a big brother and has taken his role very well!





As we dawn into 2014, I pray for health, happiness, wisdom, fun, adventure, new discoveries and love for my family and yours!

Happy New Year!

It's been a week!

Vir, can you believe, today, it's been a week since you were born?!? How time flies! :)

Nani made halwa to celebrate this special day! Can you tell how happy we are to have you in our lives?!? :)

This is how your week looked like. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. :)

At the hospital the day after you were born.














Ready to go home! Yes, you passed the car seat challenge and all other tests and we got the discharge papers! Yay!! :)


 Welcome home! :)



My two favorite boys! LOVE the love between you two! :)


Kabir trying to amuse you with some dinosaur sounds! We are all dinosaurs in this house and he decides who is which one, it changes everyday. Some days I am the T-REX and some days Pteranodon  :) You are the small dinosaur for now. :)



Visit to your pediatrician the next day.


The day after; just chilling! My friend Upaasna came to see you!



 Today, was nice and sunny. How could I have passed on the opportunity to take some shots in the beautiful sunlight? :)


While we were at the hospital, the balloons and the flowers came as a sweet surprise from my awesome team at Concur! :)





In the evening, with the family! 


My favorite trio!




And the trio is back! :) If you look carefully, K is playing with your head! :) He wants to play with you all the time! :)






Check this out! It was a pure co-incidence and I realized it much later after I dressed you up this morning, that Kabir wore the same outfit when he was 1 week old! That's him with Ammi and you with Nani on your respective1 week birthdays! :) How cool is that and what a great co-incidence! :)





Happy 1 week birthday, Sweetie! I love you so much!


A big god bless!
