Week 21 Oct 8-9

Mommy took a lot of pain to go all the way to Harward Sq to get a very yummy cake from Finale Bakery (Harvard Sq), and the next day went to Boston with Guttikondas

Week 21, Oct 4, Honeymoon in 2nd Trimester

Honeymoon in 2nd trimester...sounds crazy but it was very nice. We drove to Vermont and stayed there for couple days.

We stayed near Bennington, supposed to be a historical town.

There was long memorial tower which was very beautiful. The best part was the kids who were dressed like in colonial times... t

The colors were at peak in the North near Montplier and on the way back stopped at Ben & Jerrys

Week 18

Mommy's tummy started becoming noticeable

Thanked Ganesh...kept the festivities to very minimal

Raaga.com helped us with the Puja Vidhi..

Aug 14th Yeah !! Done with First Trimester

Mommy is excited that she successfully completed the first trimester, but also very tired. The hot summer days were very nauseating....though daddy didn't mind cleaning the floors...it was yukky.....thanks to the cleaning gloves...they were a big help :)

By the way mommy gave a wonderful video footage .... Promised her that I will not upload online.. so can't post it :(

First Scan @ Brigham Womens Hospital...captured some of the sweet moments in video...here are some snap shots..

Mommy argues that the baby's nose is like her...I said, "No way" :(

10th - 12th week

Celebrating with friends..

The Angle Hair Cake was really good, very light and still tasty..thanks to Metapallis and Guttikondas

Daddy gave a small performance, but had to quickly withdrew after the audience boood :)

Mommy was eager to complete the 12th week mark.. Almost there one more week to go...sometimes dreaming about the baby while sleeping...and sometimes while waiting for the elevator...

mommy after giving a hug to varsha, wishes to have a cute girl like her..well, yaa mommy wanted to have girl

After spending a quality weekend with Varsha and Nirya, mommy's desire to have a babby girl further grew

Jun 22 2009 3 AM Honey we are pregnant

3am Jun 22 2009 , yes 3AM, mommy woke daddy. Daddy was half asleep and so immediately got out of bed. Mommy who is always little cautious before celebrating, tested twice before sharing the news with daddy. "Anil the strips says positive"

daddy almost shouted, "Honey we are pregnant !!" After celebrating for a moment mommy went to bed, but daddy who was wide awake immediately called his mommy and shared the news.

"Amma get ready to come to U.S. next year, jr rachakonda is on the way"

Before mommy become unrecognizable, daddy decided to treasure the moment in his memories and Mr.Canon was also handy...

-4 months

Suddenly on his B'day dad-to-be realized that Jr.Rachakonda is due in 4 months and till now the plan to document his journey hasn't been kicked off.

Its a boy!

Mommy wasn't ready to keep it a surprise, though daddy thought it would be exciting to play the guessing game.

Mommy is now in 2nd Trimester, 22nd week and will be completing 5th month in five days. I think its very confusing, to track the week, month and trimester simultaneously. Maybe it was devised to keep the mommy from getting too paranoid about the baby. Little confusion helps.

To minimize confusion, daddy outsourced the task to google calendar and ofcourse kept it a secret from mommy. Poor mommy is always surprised at the accuracy of Dad's knowledge. Way to go Google :)
