6 signs of having a baby boy

There are many who can predict the baby's  gender really well with the help of different signs/features a preggers has. But I found a better way to predict which is totally on the nature of a husband. Some might don't know that a woman's egg has chromosomes XX whereas male's sperm has both X and Y chromosomes so if X-Y meet, a boy is born and if X-X meet then a girl is born, according to me the X and Y chromosomes ( required to have a baby boy) meet as per the husband's nature.  So your childs gender is dependent on the husband's trait.

You need to find these traits in your husband or anyone to predict. My list is:-
1. If the dad is left brained ( meaning your husband is more logical, can easily solve puzzles )
2. If you dictate the husband's wardrobe  (deciding his clothes)
3. In the end you win the arguments even if he is right
4. If husband gets totally engrossed in TV instead of listening to you but also let's you watch your serial when you want.
5. If he spends more time at your parents house than his own
6. Athletic.

In short if your husband listens to you for clothes , shopping, movie etc then you will have a baby boy. You can't change anything because it's his nature.

Please notice these traits amongst yourself and others and please let me know by commenting here.
Thanks

Happy Momying!!

A child is father's responsibility too.

I generally see people expect only moms to do everything for a baby.
I went to a wedding recently(destination wedding) so we had our 2 and a half year old all to us as in no grandparents or nanny helping us. So from getting ready myself and my baby ready to reaching the venue on time was pretty hectic for me. And I realised it then that my husband only had to conveniently wear the suit and go while I was all worked up. Phew! And photos come out as disastrous as can be.
Even in the parks I see mostly moms  getting the child for the game or running behind them but very few dads.
And people generally argue that they " dads" are earning the money for the family what else a mom-at-home is doing.

So I want to argue on the behalf of all the mom-at-home if the whole day the husband is working then your wife at home is also cleaning the home, utensils,  cooking,feeding the baby, running after the baby , bathing the baby and handling everybody's clothes and the list goes on..... So if the husband says I am tired after work and can't hold the baby or run after her then please see the list of things your wife "a mom" has done. And then decide who is running the house.

So I request all the dads that only your wife didn't want the baby alone but you too so help her with the in the evenings and please don't give the stupid reason "dear  I have worked all day and I am too tired ". Your involvement with the kid is equally valuable as of a mother.

Happy mommying!

Baby food: On the go

I have always felt the responsibility of making my baby eat before we leave home and pack something extra too for "mini me"- fussy eater. But my luck runs out and my patience too, from getting my baby ready to me getting ready as well as the home cooked food for her makes me go crazy and everything comes out on dear husband  by the end of the party :(
So after various bad nights-out and dinners (with the baby) I have realised one thing that - to keep the baby happy,  one has to give the baby the food she/he loves to eat . nutritional part to be completed at the day time. Here are the options that can make your baby happy and give her full tummy as well. The list is
1. When you Don't need to cook:-
      a. Cheese slice
      b. Biscuits (fortified n healthy)
      c. Peanuts
      d. Dry fruits
      e. Ready cakes/muffins
      f. Fruit cut (favourite)
      g. Yogurt
     
2. Cooked but less messy:-
     a. Sprouts
     b. Corn nibbles  (boiled)
     c. Rice (with favourite veggies)
    
Else you can also buy things like chips and chocolate which are high in calories and keeps the baby happy. I know you will think what kind of a mom am I who is suggesting this junk food for a toddler. But trust me one meal of this wouldn't spoil your outings,  your mood and your baby is also happy. So to be less guilty I am suggesting not the whole junk meal but a combination of balanced meal once in a while . like yogurt and chips(calcium and carbs) or cheese and biscuits( proteins n carbs) etc. So you also need to know what are constituents of the food item that you are giving.

Happy travelling! !

Let go

Today my 2year baby taught me about "letting go".
As a mother at home I have always been around my child, always. So whatever is done for her I do for her. I make her sleep, eat , cook  for her and the list goes on.  So eventually it is her mom who is always nagging behind her to eat the nutritious food and not chocolate, to sleep on time, to not scribble on the wall....etc etc :( . And her darling dad comes at night plays with her without fussing around and both of them are happy. 

Things have been like this and nobody was complaining. But tonight like any other night my daughter dint want to sleep even after switching off lights and singing some lullabies...my daughter said "my mom does not love me"!! I felt as if :- Oh my whole world crumbled :(  and on the top of it I asked "whom you want to sleep with then" , she conveniently said "DAD"... like another bullet in the heart. I literally had to stop myself from crying as my husband could not stop smiling.

So I have realised I have to let go certain things and not run after her all the time. I can't take her love for granted as she will eventually be busy in various things and probably we will not be spending so much time together. So I changed myself instead of her and I am trying to be a happy mom n a less nagging mom.

And I also thanked my mom today  for being there and taking good care of me when I was little. Had not understood the value of my mom until I became one.

Happy mommying !!
