Blessed!

Didn't really hibernate but as an Aquarian sometimes do hide the considerable depths of one's character under a cloak frivolity. Jokes apart! today I really feel blessed for having "Sanaya" ( my little one) in my life. As Mark Twain quoted "A baby is inestimable blessing and bother". Truly ever since she was born she's always been quite and no trouble at all. If she cried at all then it was an indication that she wanted to be fed or diaper needs to be changed. Still remember when she was only seven days old we took her to African Lion Safari and she was not troubled at all...just diaper change, nurse her and she was good to go...Many of you might say that this is the time when babies sleeps most of the time so its nothing unusual ....but believe me like "every pregnancy is different, same way every babies are different". Even though her sleeping pattern changed after a month yet she wouldn't trouble me and I could leave her in the crib and do my work...I can only think of one night when she cried of stomach pain ( colic) and that's it....she began to enjoy the company of her elder sister and so was the elder one....We traveled to Stratford which is 120 kms from my place, takes exactly one and a half hours of travel time yet no signs of discomfort.....We spend hours in Malls and she's very comfortable....Even on the day of my elder daughter's surgery we left early and spent the whole day there and she was very co-operative, no cry absolutely and I had no choice anyways where I could keep her....to add to it when my husband was traveling back home...I was worried thinking "if she cries on highway" but heard she slept while traveling back and while coming back to the hospital next day.....couldn't have asked for more....As rightly quoted by an unknown author "When they placed you in my arm, you slipped into my heart" Truly Sanaya!

On that note I want to Thank God and Thanks mom for helping me in my most difficult times!

When first I read that "today" you really felt blessed for having Sanaya, my first instinct was to say congratulations ! Now I get it.. this is your little one & the one in another picture is Risha ? Do you have any more angels (as Aquarian sometimes do hide the considerable depths of one's character) he.. he..

A new Baby is like the beginning of all things- wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities. Especially daughters are flowers that are forever in bloom. And when you have two of them at home, that is a heaven I suppose.

Good luck Risha, Sanaya & Rinaya (sounds like you spilt you name to two daughters or is it vice versa ?)

Some Mommy & baby facts for all the readers..

Most popular birth month: July (wondering why October is good for....)
Most popular birth day: Tuesday (is it auspecious/"mangal" ?)

About baby gender gap;

I am sure more baby girls are conceived but never given a chance to survive, due to the bloody Male Chauvinist society. Parents and in-laws are to be partly blamed since everyone is running behind money & fame (my foot).

Julia,
Dirt cheap or almost nothing to "maintain" (huh?) a boyfriend.

You question sounds more like you have a materialistic party girl mentality.The essence of most women is mercenary. It’s their evolutionary imperative to garner the male with the most resources at any given time.
