You can see a difference in my posts. From the dishes I make to my baby world. Hope I can keep posting more recipes soon.
For the past few weeks, I had nothing in my mind except my baby. Feeding him, taking care of him. Waking up at midnight for his cry and also to see his games. I know that children wake up in the midnight to play. It is very difficult for the mothers to stay awake, every one says. I always wonder why it is hard when the baby plays by itself. I see it now. But still trying to enjoy.
Though it has been more than a month since he is born, my mother used to give him a bath . I used to stand beside and watch. But today it is my first day. I took the baby into my hands and successfully did it. A wonderful first experience to me.

PhD Mama
Been a long long time, since I wrote a blog. Though I posted a few pictures in between, have been very very busy for the past few months. Being a PhD student at univeristy of Illinois, done with the qualifer, I am working towards my dissertation proposal and working at Motorola part time. On the other hand, being married and waiting for my little one to arrive soon, I have the responsibility of taking care of myself and my home, sweet home.
The last few months I was having only these two responsibilities, but now I have to look after my little baby. During these months, I came across, this book "PhD Mama" where women in acedimics wrote about their experinces. So many people like me I thought. The months of my pregnancy, I was still in school trying to finish my course work. The first few months were OK physically I thought since no one is able to notice much difference in me. Then came summer, when there is no need for me to go to school.
Finally came my third trimister and also the beginning of the fall semester. I was still taking a course since I had to take to due to the circumstances, though I will not be able to attend the class for the whole semester. I felt like "Juno" attending the classes and felt as if I was the odd man out. I was still trying to defend my dissertation proposal, before my due date on November 17th. At last I did it. Defended my proposal on 24th october with great difficulty both physically and mentally. I was still going to Motorola to finish up the project for a deadline at the end of november. I went to work on friday which is two days before I went into labor. But all id well that ends well. We had a baby on november 4th. Is there a happy moment than this?
People say that baby's mind set is influenced by what the mother does when she is pregnant. My mind is always preoccupied with work. Lets see what my baby boy does when he grows! As long as you do not exhaust yourself too much, being active surely is OK during pregnancy. Now I am happy enjoying my first days of my motherhood! Is there more that I can ask for?
