Surprise Baby Shower -May 25th-37 W 3 days

Hey,
My fnds gave me a Surprise baby shower. I guessed But just imagined, not sure. These are my new fnds and not in my team as well.

Few days back Swapna said, Its Snehas Birthday on 25th and we all are throwing surprise b'day for her.
She mentioned that the dress code is kruthi. Thats when I guessed a lil bit.
But was not sure.

I didnthave kurthi, Nothin fits me. Everyone wore. Afternoon like all we planned we all went to Swapna's house. Best part was they decorated sooooo well with Pink and Blue balloons. How sweet.

They had a Potlock, Took lot of my pics. They all shouted Surprise as soon as I entered. I was like a center of attraction among all
. Swapna
. Srivani
. Srujana
.Sneha
. Neha
. Kalyani
.Purnima

These were the ones who organised.
They did Pulihora, curd Rice, Noodles, Sweet, Sambar, Chole, rice, Chips. Everything was so good. I didnt even test or bother about Diet. I ate so much :)

I loved the decoration, Cute baby milk bottles, gala gala etc. Love everthing. I am so happy, its like a life time exp.

24th May- 37 W 2 days

Today I had non stress test. Baby was doing great. Since yesterday I had white discharge and it was lil heavy.
I called Doc in the morning after coming to work. I reach work at 9:30. I called the doc at 10:30 ,11ish. She asked me to come for the check up , just to make sure I am not leaking Amniotic Fluid.

I know everything is fine, so I asked if can I come tomorrow ,she said no , come now.
I called Krishna, msged, many times. There was no reply from him. I was so scared. I thought may be I am going to labor today. But it will be very early.  I had random thoughts in my mind. I started shivering. I know I shouldnt be like this during my actual labor. I told Kalyani and Swapna the situation so that they are aware if I go to the Hospital. I also informed Jess in my team as Gina was not there at her desk.

Finally krishna came and picked me at 12:15 .Poor Krishna he ran b/w his meeting. I shouted at him so much for not picking up the calls and not replying my msgs,but he didnt get any msgs to his cell. So finally we went to the hospital. Health and body was I am perfect except this discharge. Doc checked me , she said its normal discharge. We both came back home and I worked from home, Krishna went to work.

he called later and said that he missed the surprise baby shower ...I felt sooooo bad. His fnds gave him 100 dollars baby r us gift card. :).He used to get one more baby dress but he missed it. He will get it later.

Evening after krishna came home we both got ready and went for the photo shoot in JC Penny :)
We both wore Black dress. I loved the pics. We will go and see them on Sat and finalize what to take etc.
Night after coming home I cried and shouted at mom and dad as the food was not ready and I am feeling so much hungry. Later I felt very bad for doing this.
Daily  night I am getting high readings during dinner. 149,155,150 :(
I dont know what to do. Even after taking insulin I am getting high.

And ....Mom washed baby clothes , all new clothes. Now my baby dresses are all set :)

So conclusion, we need to keep the labor bag ready and be prepared from now on. The big day can come at anytime. Any day can be a big day from now on....

Ohm Namo Venkateshaya.
