  • Dark circles around your eyes
  • The constant worry that nags at you when your kid is not feeling well
  • You end up loosing your favorite computer game because you were paying more attention to her turning over successfully
  • The lack of privacy … sigh!!
  • You have more energy at the end of the day
  • Baby-talk comes naturally to you
  • Somehow you notice other kids, and the peer pressure just gets to you
  • me-time reduces to 10% of the original planned schedule

My mama (the marathi kind), gave us a pram for Anasuya. Everyone was excited … the baby was bringing her own entourage.

Today, we sat for assembling the infernal thing. With a single pager for a manual, and two guys (that’s my father and I) … it was obvious that we had no need for instructions! So came the exercise of figuring out what goes where … in that process of figuring things out, we made discoveries … the oohs! and the a-has!! were multifold. As with almost all D-I-Y assemblies, we finished it and still had some parts to spare (wonder where they go!!?!).

I wonder if they purposely make it confounding, so that the parents get realizations in the process of assembling it?
