Does anyone else have a website or blog that we can link to? As you can see, on the side, we have added a 'Future Friends' section for when Munch actually gets here (and gets a real name). We'd love to add you!

Parents are coming!
Hey everyone! My parents are coming today to visit. I'm pretty excited. I feel bad though because I didn't cook or anything. I'm still have nausea and I tried to do the dishes last night - it ended up with vomit.
Pravin is also coming this Friday. I'm really looking forward to have all my family here. If only Anup's parents could come. It would have been really nice. We tried convincing Amma (Anup's) to come but she had plans for the weekend.
My back pain has gotten a lot better. You know what helps? Laying around and doing nothing. Over the weekend we had our Onam celebration where I performed in group dance and also was the MC. I really think the practices contributed to my back pain. This weekend, we are performing for Arts in the Heart, to celebrate different cultures in Augusta. After that, no more performances - whew! I need a break.
This week my goal is to put on some weight. I don't think it will be too difficult with both parents here ready to take care of all my needs. If not, Anup is going to make me start downing Ensure!!!

Hellooos to Everyone! Back Pain and Pillows:
Hello! Just wanted to say thanks to Anup for setting this site up. It's so sweet and he's very proud of his work. In fact, he initially wasn't too keen on giving me posting privileges but he has since relented.
And yes, I do need some tips on moisturizing and the prevention of stretch marks. Unfortunately, with my dark skin, the likelihood of getting stretch marks is pretty high. However, there's no harm in trying my best to prevent the 'tiger stripes.' My belly has started growing and I love it. We went to a bbq last week and I wore my bathing suit. It was the first time, in a long time, that I didn't worry about how big my stomach looked. In fact, I was proud of it.
I've been having continuous back pain for the past month. It usually manifests itself as pinching in my lower back region and butt area. Last night, though, I woke up with back pain that extended from my neck to my tail bone and was having a tough time sleeping.
Luckily for me, I have this amazing pregnancy pillow that our friend Priya (who's 5 months preggers with her 2nd and on bed rest) sent me, knowing that I would be needed this lovely ball of fluff. And does it work! It's shaped like a long 'C' but you can contort it into multiple shapes to help you with whatever you need, such as, support for your stomach, nursing, or to ease back pain. The pillow, when used for back pain, spoons me in a way that Anup never has. J/K Anup!
That's it for now! Love, G
