Rainy day outside babies enjoying their afternoon siesta

Well.quite a random day to begin my gigantic /Herculean effort to try and maintain some memories of this incredible journey I began a year and 60 (+- 2days) ago.actually I think the journey really began 6 months prior to that; when I found out I was pregnant .does anyone actually ever forget this day in ones life. I still remember mine. It was the 8th of may, I was in the doctors clinic and all in a hurry to begin my mall sojourn planned, when she just said bent over her desk u r pregnant. There was a pause a long ,long pause. I felt the air being sucked out from me. Is this what it felt when there is someone inside of me. How come I am not feeling any different...and then the most terrified of fears I had been refusing to confront stood facing me. The terrible and bloodcurdling visions of women during the epic birthing pains , immortalised in so many bolly,holly and the rest of the olly films.I felt terror grip me. I felt like i had mounted on this roller coaster and there was no way out of that vertical downward spiral I had jumped onto.....I turned to my hubby and said "Umm ...I am worried". What I meant was I am the most frightened then I have ever been. But what i had no way if knowing was that in a few months time this finale fear would be replaced by something far more fearful....but well that came later.

Looking back to today ,chinu( my daughter's current nickname) has for the first time learnt to stand independently while getting the support of the couch. It is a sight for sore eyes.
Yasho has been getting a wee bit cranky, need to enlist the children in a play school.

Winter has returned hanks to the chill has descended after the torrential rains last night. Looks like cranky boy is up. Mommy duty begins.

Frankly there is only one nanny at the moment so both Keshu and  me need to be hands on pretty much all the time.
