In sf

Spending tues - sat in sf, trying out the new housekeeper/babysitter. So far, so good. I'm exhausted tho. Going to dance, working part time n taking care of baby is pretty hard. But we're lucky that we're able to transition slowly. Going back to atherton is going to feel like a holiday for me :)

No photo??

I think today was the first day that went by since Puchku was born that I went without taking a single photo of him. I don't know why this is making me feel so sad... I really hope mom & dad got one... I wanted to get at least one pic of him everyday for te first year. Not that I'll ever put it together in an album or anything but i still wanted it to be there in theory.
😥

Baby laughed :D

For the first time today, he laughed. It was so cute- me n mummy squealed with excitement :) tried to catch it on video again but I guess we'll have to wait for the repeat performance.
It was seriously the most exciting thing ever.

Birday Party

Took Puchku to a small birthday dinner tonight at Charlotte didis house. I figure I should start off by taking him to low pressure events - where there's no time constraints and I can easily feed him etc. anyway it was fun and he was a really good boy. A little mummy 'goddar' but by the end he fell asleep in Seibi didi's arms so that was good.
He's becoming a big boy!!

Day of many firsts

Today was the first time I drove with Puchku all by myself. We came upto the city.
Tonight we took Puchku out to a restaurant for dinner for the first time. Even Puchku ended up having dinner there!! (MADD skills in b-feeding)
Tonight's the first night it's just the Brahma family together, in our home :)

6 week post-partum appt

Got the ok from the doctor on resuming exercising and 'pelvic activity,' as they like to call it. I finally weighed myself, and found that I have lost 20 of the 40 lbs I had put on. I feel pretty encouraged -- losing 20 lbs seems like it's doable. I'm currently 2 dress sizes bigger than my normal size. So I guess you go up a dress size with 10 lbs, huh?

Anyway, will start going to Kathak class next week, and am hoping the weight will start shedding off from there! I miss dancing so much, can't wait to get back into a practice routine, and start performing again!
