Work it Munch!

Knowing that this was the last few weeks (days?!?!?!) left in utero, Munch decides to work it for the cameras.

Looking all cool with the profile shot.

Face front with arm poised perfectly on the shoulder. So sophisticated ;)

Local Baby Shower

Once again Mani Auntie strikes. She threw me a lovely shower here in Augusta. I decided not to have one in Huntington because by the time my mom came home from India, I didn't want to travel 8-9 hours to go home.

I know this picture is very dark but I wanted to get Lakshmi in there

Whoo! It's time for a nap!

I want to thank Mani Auntie for all her hard work with putting together this shower. I had a great time. Also, special thanks to all the ladies who brought food. I really appreciate it and thoroughly enjoyed everything.

Since my camera died, that's all the pictures I have. But luckily my pops was there to help out. Check out more pictures at www.picasaweb.google.com/prathapchandran75 Since my dad didn't have time to edit, there are many, many, pictures of me with my mouth open! haha.

By the way, I've started my 9th month!! Almost there!

Anup's 33rd Birthday!

We had a very nice weekend celebrating Anup's birthday. Both sets of parents came down.

Friday night, the whole family went out and enjoyed a lovely dinner.
Saturday night, we partied with the gang. Margaritas and Sangrias for everyone!! Purvi, Anup's lil sis joined us for the weekend (from Philly) with her little baby Anvi. Also in the pic, is Monisha, good friend and colleague of Anup. Congrats on passing your Nephro Boards!

Jayan giving a present to Anup. Hi Abishek!

Thanks for coming out guys!

How much do I love my husband and best friends??

Ok. Anup is awesome. I love him. He rocks. I had told my close friends to PLEASE not worry about coming to visit us in Georgia until the baby comes. I understand the difficulty of flying to such a small place and I would rather them come when Munch arrives than for a baby shower or something. But my friends (and husband) are sneaks and they completely, absolutely, surprised me last week by flying here and throwing a weekend-long baby shower!! I was touched and extremely happy. Anup even had lunch with tea sandwiches and cake ready, as well as booking appointments for all the ladies to get massages. The ladies, in turn, not only flew down (with their husbands), they also wouldn't let us pay for anything!! What friends!!

First Sima surprised me!

Then Divya and Alex!

Stephy, a local friend, joined us!

Div finally felt Munch dance. Look who's joined us? Rosie! We're on our way to the spa.

Afternoon tea, desi style. Also, posing at mini-golf.

A hole in one? Div, I think ended up winning. She had the most holes in one. Or maybe she tied with Shiren.

Ready for a night out.

Sunday brunch at a really classy restaraurant. WAFFLE HOUSE!

Pictures, thanks to Sima. We have a million more but I'm going to have to get Anup to put it up on Picassa or something.

Sorry, I'm lazy but look who we got to visit!!

Hey everyone, I'm sorry. I've gotten tired and lazy but I wanted to show you some cute pics of our trip to visit Eashan (and Vik/Sathya).

Hey Mama!

Touchdown!
I'm not sure what I'm doing.

Getting in some practice

Are we ready?
