Two New Births

Me and my son

October, 2007 – “Baba”. His first conscious word! I think I'll wait for a little while to get mad that he called out to his dad before he did to me – even though I am the one who feeds him, changes his smelly diapers, wakes up sweating with nightmares about “having forgotten to feed him”, sings lullabies to him while he drifts off to sleep, picks him up when he wakes up startled at a dog’s barking, reads stories to him while he tries to eat the book, bathes him while he squirms and wiggles, removes his booger while he screams in my face… For now, I’ll just enjoy the fact that he said his first word.

September, 2007 – Is it possible to NOT fit back into my jeans? BOHOO :-( How do these film stars and models go back to their zero size 6 months after they’ve had their “bundles of joy”?? I guess they exercise and eat almost nothing huh. See, that was the only thing I didn’t do – exercise and eat nothing. Who would have thunk that just these two things would matter!

August, 2007 - YOHOO! I can fit into my pre-pregnancy jeans! This is the first day after my 4th month of pregnancy that I even dared to try them back on. This is besides the fact that I don’t dare sit down while in them due to risk of a medical emergency.

July, 2007 – FUNNNNN! Coos, smiles, holds, touches, complains, babbles and finally – eats!!

June, 2007 – Of course this will not last forever – feed, burp, change diaper – REPEAT for the next 24 hours (rest of your life??).

May, 2007 – Gosh! Is he smiling at me? Yes, now he recognizes me. His eyes try to follow my voice. Ouch…I think my heart is melting.

April, 2007 – Okay, so now he officially looks like a chimp.

March 18th 2007 – O.M.G!! So this is what the hoohaa is all about. We have a screaming little baby boy! People had warned me that all new borns look like chimps/orangutans – but not this one. He is absolutely precious. He came one month early.

Hi! My name is Project 71. Weird name I know, but my masters are weird too. My masters apologize for such an out-of-context comment and they know how painful such spamlike comments are. But, say masters, how else are we to present something good to the world. By that they mean me :D. Kindly see what I am about. Won't take you more than 22s to read... http://www.project71.com/readme Enjoyy!
