Buddi's first words
Nityamma is now 8months old....8months just rolled by!! She's trying to talk now, of course in her own language. Probably babies can only understand. I'm uploading videos of her in youtube. It's very hard to describe her actions, one just has to see and enjoy. At 7months, she started making sounds with her tongue like tuuuuuuuuuuu, taaaaaarrrrrrr etc... so funny. And now she makes sounds like maaaa, daaa, taaaaaa laaa. Those are the most beautiful words I've ever heard. enta vinna inka vinaali anpistundi naa bangaru talli cheppe kaburlu. evening ayite naa aanandaaniki haddulu undav.

Weekends with my wonder kid...
Buddi, lots of things are going in our home. Sometimes (infact most of the times) I feel like leaving job and staying home just with you. I want to see your smiles, play with you, hear your chittipotti maatalu.. You are growing smarter day by day... You hate sunlight just like your
dad. These days you are sleeping around 12.30 and so while getting up in the morning, you are crying alot for having sunlight directly coming onto your face. Today, you found awesome solution. You dragged the pillow onto your face, my little one. The way you work is so smart, amazing! :)
Every saturday and sunday, I'm decorating you in different clothes and feeling happy. My little one is not at all complaining and just keeping whatever mom gives her. Last week, in her white dress, she was shining like an angel and this week, Saturday in black girl, she just looked so cute and sunday Pattu langa... Naa chitti talli, naa diste tagultundi anpinchindi. anduke Dishti teeyinchanu le nanamma cheta :).. naa bangaramma...I love you soooooooooo much.....

పసినవ్వులు
నా కిప్పుడు అస్సలు ఆఫీసు కి రాబుద్ధి కావట్లేదు. నా చిట్టితల్లి తో ఎన్ని కబుర్లు అయిన చెప్పాలి అంపిస్తుంది. ఈ ప్రపంచం లో నెను ఎంత సిల్లీ కబుర్లు చెప్పినా కల్లు పెద్దవి చేసుకుని వినేది నా బంగారు తల్లి ఒక్కటేనేమో! ఆ పసి నవ్వు ప్రపంచాన్నే మరిపిస్తుంది. ఎందుకో సడన్ గా మా ఆయన మాటలు గుర్తొస్తున్నాయి. కన్న ఫ్రేమ అంటే ఇదేనా, ఇంత ఆనంద పడతాను అని ఎప్పుడు అనుకోలేదు. నిజమే! నాకు ఈ మధ్యే అర్థం అవుతుంది. ఎంతగా మారిపొయారు!! ఇంతకుముందు వీకెండ్ వస్తే ఏ టూరు కి పోదాం అని ఆలొచించే ఈయన ఎప్పుడెప్పుడు ఆఫీసు నుంచి ఇంటికి పొదామా అని ఆలొచిస్తున్నారు...టూర్ కి వెళ్ళమన్నా ససేమిరా అంటున్నారు.
ఇక నా బుడ్డి కి వీకెండ్ వస్తె పండగే. అస్సలు వదిలిపెట్టద్దు. చంక దిగనంటుంది. నిజం చెప్పొద్దు, నాకే దించాలని అనిపించదు. వంట చేస్తున్న, బట్టలు సర్దుతున్నా, తనకి చెబుతూ పనులు చేసుకుంటుంటే ఏదో తెలీని ఆనందం.
ఓ పక్క మా వారు డిసిప్లిన్ అంటూ క్లాస్ పీకుతున్నా, మరోవైపు మామ గారు ఎత్తు కి అలవాటు పడుతుందన్నా, నాకు మాత్రం ఇవేమి పట్టవు. 30 ఏళ్ళు వచ్చినా రాత్రి 2 గంటలకి పడుకొని బారెడు పొద్దు ఎక్కినా లేవని దానికి ఏమి పేరు పెట్టాలి చెప్మా అనిపిస్తుంది. పసి పిల్లకి డిసిప్లిన్ మాత్రం కావాలి అంటూ లోపల గొణుక్కోవడం నా బంగారు తల్లి కి ముద్దులు ఇవ్వడం షరా మామూలే. అస్సలు ఆ పసి నవ్వులోనే ఉంది మహత్యం అంతా. తన పర బేధభావం లేకుండా చిరునవ్వులొలికిస్తారు. అందరికి అర్థం అవుతుంది ఆ భాష. ఒక్క నవ్వు చిందించడానికి జోక్స్ అవసరం లేదు, కారనం అస్సలే అక్కర్లేదు. అందుకే కాబోలు పిల్లల్ని చూసి పెద్దలు నేర్చుకోవాల్సినవి చాలానే ఉన్నాయి.

Buddu and her naghuty activities...
Buddu is becoming very naughty now a days. I motivated from her endless efforts to sit or crawl or anything. We started giving her solids. First started with Single grain rice cereal and followed by banana, apple, pears. One new food for every 5 days. Banana is very heavy on her stomach for some reason so stopped giving it. Apple is ok, still poopoo is very hard and black in color. Daily I'm giving her gripe water for digestion. Introducer pears yesterday only, she liked it very much. She's ready to eat more :). Two weeks back, I frozen apples and pears separately
to give her daily. Let me tell you how I frozen the food. Bought organic apples and pears from wholefoods. Wasahed it thouroughly, peeled off the skin and pressure cooked for 5mins. Mashed it and mixed it in the blender so that
it becomes very smooth like running solid. I pour it in the ice trays of the refrigerator and frozen it. Daily I'm taking out one cube in the morning and put it in a bowl and cover it with hot water. By afternoon, it comes to room temperature and ready to eat. But I read some article about frozen stuff, it may lose some nutrients. So I decided to
change the preparation. I'll cook daily but have to figure out easy way.
After starting solids, I can clearly see she's losing interest in milk. Whenever me or mom-in-law try to give her bottle, she slowly grabs fingers (most of the time thumb) first and then moves the bottle back towards her feet. She keeps smiling while doing this. One can't miss her adorable smile. Before you realize what's happening, she
kicks the bottle like a football with her foot. The bottle fells on carpet and she starts smiling looking into your eyes. Can you get angry with such cutie pie!!!!!
Another funny thing with cereal bowl is when we start giving her cereal, we usually bring the bowl also close to her along with spoon. thapmani kottestundi cheti meeda.. cereal kinda!!!!
She's becoming so naughty. I'm glad buddu and her dad share some special moments. She enjoys dance with her father only. He's Ghantasala, SP Balu....(what not!) for her. Vallu iddaru aadukuntantu chudadaaniki naaku rendu kallu chaalavu.....
Bangaru Talli....baaga edagali... enno aasalu, marenno kalalu...

AnnaPrasanam...
Today is BIG day for NehaNityamma... My little princess reached her major milestone,
6th month. As it's 6th month 6th day, we planned for Annaprasanam. We decorated
her with all the jewellery and good pattulanga. My baby is awesome. She didn't
complaint for anything. She's looking at each and every piece of jewellery.
Buddu, I've to buy more for you. Attayya prepared bellam payasam in the morning.
After offering some to GOD, first, mamayya feed her very little of payasam with
ring followed by attayya (naanamma for buddu) and her dad and finally mom :)
She got blessings from all of us. My husband recorded the entire ceremony.
With all the heavy dress and jewellery, moreover with lack of sleep (as she woke up
at 4AM and didn't sleep well after that) she was crying. I removed everything and
kept her in uyyala and she slept as we are moving it to and fro.

Bye Bye Ammamma...Have a safe trip..
Days rolled by so fast. Mar 10th has already come. Mom has to leave to India. My mom is
happy for going to india and reuniting with dad but eually sad to leave Buddu. Buddu is
very attached to her now. After brother left, she has only ammamma. So day and night with
ammamma only. Mom couldn't control her tears while she was leaving to airport. The flight
ticket we purchased online was showing wrong dates by mistake because of which she has to stay in Hongkong for 2 days. So we requested the cathaypacific airlines to postpone her travel to next day which they did. Sending her off was not a happy moment. In-laws have come but I can see they are not at all happy. I can say mar 7th to 14th was the bad time for my husband so for me. I had to take leave from work. Things didn't go well at work also. Everything settled down by weekend. In-laws are very happy. For them, everything turned out to be green now!!! which is good for me also though don't know the entire story for all these happy and sad. I'm worried about Buddu. How she's sleeping and eating in the day time. In-laws having spent time with the other grand kids started comparing her to others which I don't like at all. I've to build confidence in her, for that I've to be very confident.
These days I'm practicing to be silent. I've my own plans of starting "something". This something, I've to figure out, a way to implement and make it success. I want to spend with my baby, want to be there for her all the time. I know how I missed my mom, doesn't want to repeat the same for my baby.
I've to first keep my baby happy and healthy.
Keeping this apart, buddu handled ammamma's departure so well. She's trying to adapt to her new grand parents. My little girl doesn't complain to anything. I keep worrying about her eating schedule so kept calling home from time to time to check whether little one has taken anything or not. Little one is amazing. Her smile, oo sound makes my day. :)
She's having anxiety whenever approching new members or places. So I planned to meet with new moms in the apartment.
Little one, Be happy :)....

Challenging Times.....
It's been very long time since I updated. All this time, I'm quite busy
at home rather than in office. In-laws came on Feb 14th and mom is going
on mar9th. Brother's interview was almost finalized, he's so there.
3 rounds of interview were completed and he was actually waiting to get
the appointment date when he received the bad news that the company's
CFO has frozen the position temporarily (for now it's "temporarily" not
sure if that becomes "permanent"!!!) Brother, Me, mom and husband are
shocked to hear this. We've actually set our minds that he's going to
join that company. When we hoped something, GOD planned something else!!
Mom was crying last night and I couldn't console her. Same with me also!
He has made up his mind and going to new jersey to join some consultancy.
For now, my mind is totally blank about his future and job trials.
I can't look mom's sorrowful face. Apart from this sad part in home,
Buddu is the only ray of happiness for all of us. Now she's almost 4months
and so many changes. In fact, she's surprising me everyday with her
capabilities. She turned on her stomach from right side (borla padadam)
in 3rd month it self, initally she was moving backwards (mom told me that this is the
first step, everything they start in opposite direction, crawling or
walking) for few days and then gave up on that completely for some days.
In the mean time, she is busy in sucking her left thumb and mom is busy
in taking that out. LOL...Grannma wins :-)
Yesterday, she turned on her left hand also and started crawling to front!
I'm so much surprised by her efforts. She's trying her best to crawl.
I've recorded. She's not giving up however she fails or even if she's
not able to breathe. Whenever she has difficulty in breathing, she makes
uneasy sounds and I lift her, again after a minute break, she's all
ready for crawl again! Oh my GOD! I've to learn a lot from her.
It's this point which motivated me....when a months baby is not giving up
her hope and efforts why should I!!!! Why shouldn't I try which I always
wanted.
at home rather than in office. In-laws came on Feb 14th and mom is going
on mar9th. Brother's interview was almost finalized, he's so there.
3 rounds of interview were completed and he was actually waiting to get
the appointment date when he received the bad news that the company's
CFO has frozen the position temporarily (for now it's "temporarily" not
sure if that becomes "permanent"!!!) Brother, Me, mom and husband are
shocked to hear this. We've actually set our minds that he's going to
join that company. When we hoped something, GOD planned something else!!
Mom was crying last night and I couldn't console her. Same with me also!
He has made up his mind and going to new jersey to join some consultancy.
For now, my mind is totally blank about his future and job trials.
I can't look mom's sorrowful face. Apart from this sad part in home,
Buddu is the only ray of happiness for all of us. Now she's almost 4months
and so many changes. In fact, she's surprising me everyday with her
capabilities. She turned on her stomach from right side (borla padadam)
in 3rd month it self, initally she was moving backwards (mom told me that this is the
first step, everything they start in opposite direction, crawling or
walking) for few days and then gave up on that completely for some days.
In the mean time, she is busy in sucking her left thumb and mom is busy
in taking that out. LOL...Grannma wins :-)
Yesterday, she turned on her left hand also and started crawling to front!
I'm so much surprised by her efforts. She's trying her best to crawl.
I've recorded. She's not giving up however she fails or even if she's
not able to breathe. Whenever she has difficulty in breathing, she makes
uneasy sounds and I lift her, again after a minute break, she's all
ready for crawl again! Oh my GOD! I've to learn a lot from her.
It's this point which motivated me....when a months baby is not giving up
her hope and efforts why should I!!!! Why shouldn't I try which I always
wanted.

Buddu and her funny activites.....
My little one started ooo,aww,ohh,hai sounds...it's so amazing to hear them. This is her playing
style now. Yesterday she was so funny picking her own dirty diaper. My mom was trying to wash her in the sink after her poo-poo and she suddenly grader the poo diaper, tried to throw in the trash. Also, after having milk, before I cleaned her up, she already started wiping herselk with top!! It was so beautiful to see such a little girl trying to do her things. She's actually surprising me. Today is bhogi and I planned to do bhogipallu on her. So far, I don't have any telugu speaking couples with babies in the apartment so have to do for buddu alone. Other friends will come by. If everything goes fine, we are planning to do namakaranam ceremony in this weekend. I'm waiting to hear from pujari.
Little ones are so amazing. She motivated me to make new friends in the office and outside.
As a new mom, everything is so exciting, confusing. Most of the times, I turn to my mom for
suggestions. She raised 3 kids and 1 grand kid and all of them are doing fine.
Buddu will be reaching major mile stone, 3months by next week. She started raising her head and now she tried to keep it straight for atleast a minute. If I lay her on my legs with folding them in curve position, she tried to get up holding my fingers. Her touch makes me feel "MAA, Mother". She shows the difference between me and other people. She's so happy and actively playing in my lap. In the night, no need to tell! She just doesn't allow anyone to share our bed. She feels bed is strictly for mom and me.
Evening is a great fun time for her. She likes water so much. During the bath, my mom gives her
some time to play with water. She let her stand in the bucket and one has to see her expressions.
She giggles, laughs, smiles!!! I think that was a great excercise for her too. After bath, she takes her cat nap (now a days, she is taking cat naps for 10 or 15minutes during the day). She gets so active after that and doesn't sleep till 12 or 1AM!!!

Hard Moments......
Now my little one started recognizing me and responds to me. It's so amazing when the baby smiles at you. I spent quality time with my baby over the weekend. It's already been a week I started working. It's very difficult for me to say bye bye to her every day. For the time being, I'm going home for lunch but this may not continue for long due to my work hours. I wish I can work from home. I can't continue like this. Other way, I'm feeling bad for not able to spend proper time with her. I don't want my baby to go thru what I went as a child. I remember my mom going to fields leaving us back home with our nannamma. We wished our mom stayed home with us by the time we come back from school. We wished to see her smiling face but this was really luxury for us. Both my parents used to work very hard to give us better life. I was sent to hostel at age of 9 and I'm on my own for most of the tasks. I used to look forward for vacation to go home. But as mom used to go to field, I had to spend time either alone or with friends which I hate. I want to be with mom all the time. My baby shouldn't face this and especially I don't want to regret later for not being with her. She's amazing kid, a lovely gal. After complaints and arguing with myself, I set my goal. By her 2, I should be home completely either work from home or start something. But by 5, I should be able to start something on my own. With my second kid, I want to be home completely. As a mother, I don't want to fail. As a daughter, sister I didn't fail.
I may not give her everything but I've to give her the stregth and confidence to get everything.
Love you Buddu....

Wow! What a Journey!!!!....
It's been longggggggg time since I updated. Looking back all these days,
I feel "Wow!! What a journey".. I had happy, exciting, anxious, sorrow,
helpless moments.
Let me update in short.
I've applied for leave from Oct 20th (2009). Oct 17th was good. I slept for longer hours. From 18th morning, pains have started but I couldn't realize that they are labor pains. By evening, they were so strong that I couldn't handle it, so went to emergency around 1.30AM. Nurse has checked the cervix and told that only 3cms was dilated and gave tylenol and sent me home by 3.30AM. It's so hard for me to sit in the car. A funny thing has happened then (though not funny at that moment). Cop has stopped our car while we were on our way back to home. Front glass of the car has black paint which is against california rules. My husband told that I'm in labor and after checking me cop let us go. 19th, pains have become stronger and stronger. I walked for 4hrs and climbed the steps (our 15 step walkway in the Heights apartment) for 10times.
By night, it's like I can't take pain anymore. My husband couldn't help except crying. By night 11PM, he took a decision "whatever happens, we are going to stay in the hospital, I'll ask the doctor to induce or ceserian if required" Saying this, he took me to Cedars Sinai. Nurse ran all the ususal tests and said that I'm already into active labor as cervix has already dilated by 6cms.
They shifted me to labor room. I was given epidural and all of sudden everything has become normal. I don't feel pain any more. By 8AM, Dr.Lee broke my water saying that Dr.Sumen come by 11AM. After 12PM also, there's no sign of doctor. She was busy with another delivery in the next room. I'm so frustated. By that time, I already developed fever also. At 3PM, doctor came and with the help of nurse (nurses are so co-operative) I pushed the baby out by 3.49PM. Throughout my labor, my husband is so supportive. He surprised me by staying in the labor room. I never thought that he's going to be with me in the delivery!!!! While pushing, dr. keep on saying that I can see little one's hair, she got so much hair blah blah. Her head finally came out and total body followed immediately. Such a little creature. My husband shouted with happiness, "Buddamma, vachesindi bayatiki". She immediately opened her eyes towards her dad. Everyone was so surprised and told that "this little girl is so excited". I couldn't see her for 2minutes and those 2 minutes were like hours for me. Finally, I saw her when they were trying to wash her. Oh my amazing little one. I just can't express that feeling in words. She's the most beautiful one I ever saw on this earth. SHE is the ONE. Her dad gave the first bath and took pictures.
Doctor complimented that she got beautiful eye lashes. She's all wrapped up and taken to the nursery for some exams. (She also developed fever because of me). In the mean time, the nurse washed my vagina area and dressed me up, removed the epidural and gave me required IV fluids. After taking off epidural, I started feeling pains. It has become worse that
I had to take pain killers of high dose. They brought back my baby. It's so excited to see her.
I felt so happy and amazing. The way she looked at me, can't forget now also. She is such innocent girl. We were shifted to recovery room where I spent 3 days(because of fever, I had to stay for 2 extra days). My baby was kept in nursery as I didn't have much energy to look after her. The thrid day, I went to nursery to bring my baby. Some of the babies were sleeping and some crying, my little one just starring the lights. That made me so guilty, I felt as if her eyes are questioning me "mommy, why did you keep me here". Tears were running down and immediately I picked my baby to my room. I want to feed her, but milk has not yet generated. The whole picture of becoming a mom is totally different. I then realized that I'm just not ready for that. Everything is so different and new to me. The way I handle my baby to suck the nipple was very hard in the begining. By 4th day, milk has generated and started feeding her.
Not enough milk was generated so depended on formula too. I had enough milk for 3times initially and slowly increasing. We had to shift to our new home by oct31st. Though it's in the same apartment, it's very difficult to move. Moving was the bad decision. Finally we came to the new apartment and immediately baby has become sick.
She got fever 101 and we went to emergency. After doing blood and urine test, it was confirmed that she got urinary track infection because of E-Coli bacteria. Since she's 2 weeks baby, doctors want to check if that affected brain also. They've done lumbar puncture, horrible even painful than that, on her for 4times without success. I couldn't help her in anyway except crying. I felt so helpless. I just kept praying GOD for her health. After 15 painful days, the infection was cured and got discharged from the hospital. After coming back, we settled down in the new home completely. My milk has already dried up as I got fever again. Now I've to put my baby completely on bottle. I felt so guilty for this and cried all the time. Slowly, seeing her getting better day by day, I gradually recovered. First 2months were very hard for her. She just cried all the time especially in the night and me and mom were trying to soothe her in many ways but failed. She had reflux for which Zantac was prescribed. I tried few natural steps like holding her upright after each feed, giving gripe water etc.. By GOD's grace, she started improving by her 10th week. I slowly introduced 1teaspoon ful of rice cereal mixing in the cereal to her. This is her 3rd month now. I thank GOD for all HIS support and blessings. She is doing good
and I came back to work by Jan5th. Lot of things have changed in office. Slowly, I'm getting used to it.
I'll update frequently from now on. I miss my baby in the work place. I wish I could work from home.
