Week 26... start of Third Trimester!!!

Smita is now in her 7th month of pregnancy and the start of her third trimester. Less than 100 days to go!!

Now is when the belly will REALLY start growing FAST...

The first (of four!!) baby showers!

This baby is going to be welcomed with grandeur and style. Last week Smita has her first of four planned baby showers - this one was at work and put on by her co-workers in conjunction with a colleague who is also having a baby. Next up are the Buffalo, Toronto and San Francisco showers...

Sanjay Visit

Smita's brother, Sanjay, was in town for a conference... here's a couple pics. Note the comparison of Sanjay's head to Smita's belly while sneaking his in during the weekly progress photo shoot...

Here they are at Week 25!

Back in San Francisco, week 25! I hope that dress makes it through all 40 weeks....

Live from New York City!

Smita and baby J...

I spent the weekend in New York this week, while Sumeet was at his friend Mitul's bachelor party. I had a fantastic, restful weekend (unlike most in manhattan)! I spent a few days with my friend Jayanthi, who's a friend from business school, who has an adorable 7 month old, Rohin. I got to catch up with a lot of folks in NY, including Ayesha, and my long time friend Lara. Here's a picture of Lara and I and little Rohin being fed. Sumeet had the camera this weekend, so we're relying on the Blackberry!


She was kind enough to do my belly shots (week 24) this week in Sumeet's absence.

i got to walk around lots in Central Park to keep chubby Smita and baby active, and Lara and I also got manicure, pedicure's in the city. AND, while we were waiting for our nails to dry, staring out the window, we saw Dustin Hoffman! In the flesh. Talking on his cell phone. Fun! I guess I can't forget to mention that Baby-J had her first Magnolia cupcake. It was a LOT sweeter than I remember in the past...baby J was jumping around after. . .

A few other pictures from San Diego

Some pictures of baby celebration and festivities in San Diego as well as a fun afternoon with our friend Beejal who is also pregnant and our "anniversary" treat at the hotel!

Week 23... from San Diego

Smita and I went to San Diego for the weekend. We relaxed and enjoyed the outdoors and also visited her Aunt and family. Here's the belly pic...

I FELT HER!!

So, big day yesterday (this is Sumeet)... Smita and I were in San Diego this weekend and Smita who has been feeling the baby internally thought she could feel it externally also. So...I put my hand on her belly and sure enough, I felt the baby kick. Little, tiny kicks, but I sure felt her.

Fun!

Here they are... Week 22!

Week 22 - the baby is now one pound in size!!
