F.R.I.E.N.D.S - episode 1


Rakesh, Karishma (+ Kabir :) ) and Riyu visited us first after we moved to San Diego.

K and I were looking for a good segway to break the news. Sometimes, the best moments are more ironic than anything else :)

We were hanging out , Rakesh was taken in by the idyllic view from the house, said something to the effect of - "you know you guys have the right idea - don't invest in kids , buy a nice sail boat and sail into the open ocean"

K and I burst out laughing and brought out the ultrasound  !

Long story short, we had a fantastic weekend exploring the new hood and lazing around on Coronado beach. I specifically wanted to add the photo with the 4 of us - because believe it or not, it was clicked by Riyu - a 3.5 year old !!!




Later that night, we broke the news to Sid, Tamanna , Adi and Armaan ..and the pic says it all ! :)

P.S. I have to mention all the names because as you can very well see from the pic below, Sid is a limelight hog :P

Body positive

"Body Positive. To me this means being grateful for my body when it works really well, surprises me in its ability to heal & provide & give me physical stamina so I can be emotionally available for what is most meaningful in life. "  This was truly a powerful message from Tara stiles that pretty much embodied my approach to staying fit and active during this pregnancy.  According to Ina May Gaskin , the  "average" length of labor for a woman having her first child is 12 to 18 hours.  While K and I hope that our lil one slides out as comfortably and swiftly as possible, we knew we had to prepare  like training for a marathon, which meant building both physical and mental endurance.   Luckily for me, Tara stiles was on her way to motherhood just a few weeks ahead of me , which meant - Prenatal Yoga videos !!! :)  Yoga in the first half of my first trimester was a bit tentative and more constrained. I think all the things you h...
