Arnav and Avika :- Night out for the dinner

we all love to go out for dinners with the family and friends. we also wants to go out for dinner after having babies. but somehow we step back after imagining only the situation babies will create. but we started to go with our family members. because without their support nothing is possible.
i am going to discuss here one of our recent outing for dinner from the point of view of my babies.

Arnav :- Avika you know what, i heard mom and dad talking. today, they are again taking us out for the dinner, with uncle, to the same place where many others come to eat and some people just keep on standing near us and staring us all the time.

Avika:- ohh really, i just love to go out, but i just hate getting dressed. why do they always changes the clothes whenever we go out. I don't understand.

Arnav : me too.

Mummy:- Babies come we have to get dressed, we will become good and then we will go out.

Arnav:- huhh i wants to cryyyy cryyy cryyy

Avika:- i have to do it, if i will not, they will force me. why to waste energy

Arnav:- no i will wear this only, i wiil not change, its so energy wasting

Avika:- i told you na, why you cry always, this old people always do what they want to do, thatswhy i dont create unnecessary scenes.

Papa:- the baby who will not cry, i will take only that baby out.

all get dressed and leaves for the reastaurant.

all reaches reastaurant

Avika:- wow what a place, what a space to run, arnav come and catch me I will run everywhere and will be the first one to reach inside.


(babies starts running everywhere)

Mummy:- now we are going to the dinning area, babies please just behave like good babies.

Arnav and Avika:- good behaviour why always she keeps us telling the same thing, we are the best behaved babies (giggle)

we all get settele down

Arnav:- Avika see this so many tables to sit, which one you want

Avika:- don't want to sit on chair I will sit on table, then only I can easily reach to things

All get settle down at a sofa seat

Water get served and menu cards were brought to us

Arnav:- wow what a glass I too want to drink water in this glass only ( it was actually a vitreous glass).

Avika:- me too

Mummy, daddy and uncle trying to save glasses from the cute little 😈 . Inorder to save time after seeing the condition of babies we decided to skip the starters and directly orderd the main course. Not only it was us who understood coming with little naughty 👼 was not that a good decision but restaurant staff also got it and they started to give us there best ever possible service 😀. Our condition was like wether to enjoy it or not.
But as it is not always possible to go out with toddlers we ordered soft drink and one starter, meantime thier is time for maincourse, we decided to have some pictures.







Arnav:- papa I want to eat myself only give me that biggest spoon I will eat from that only and will make eat tablecloth, my clothes and your clothes also.

Avika:- let me first have food then I will play and show them all my socializing skills.

Arnav:- I will also show them I can speak and sing also ( he starts his song mammaaa papaaa aka(Avika) repeat).

Meanwhile mummy nd papa is struggling with them to save the restaurant crokrie, almost half of the staff is near our table inorder to catch thier falling crokries.

Avika:- I am done, now I should go and have a round of this place but how to get rid of mon, I must try as most of the time I will just run After coming down.

Avika got sucsseded and starts 🏃 all over the place and start to go to all others table inorder to handshake and everyone over there was also loving to do it. Seeing Avika Arnav also ran away from us and started doing the same. And we were also running like mad people all over the restaurant, now  it had become normal for us to become centre of attraction in this way.

Then we very fastly paid the bill, in India with bill you were served anise and misri

Arnav and Avika :- we want to have all the mishris, we will fill my while palm with it.

When mama don't let them do it, how they can leave without leaving thier essence over there they just throw away whole plate of anise and misri and again starts running all over the place until we take and hold them tightly. Everyone else over Thier was finding it so cute but we only know from what we have gone through.

I am very sure that we all parents of toddler or twin toddlers have gone through this all. And everytime we think for sure that we will not ever will make such outing plans with our toddlers but then it was we parents only who makes plans sometimes for our replacment and mood change or sometime for kids refreshment.

Two for one- personal twin pregnancy experience part 2

My journey of pregnancy was full of roller -coaster ride, 10-11week had gone as like before ones. But 12th week was horrifying for me in 12th week my marriage anniversary came, we decided just we two will  celebrate it at home only. As per celebration we just cut the small cake followed by traditional Indian food. Having a small celebration just two of us on our big day we had pay heavily for it. I slept on 10a.m and at 5.p.m I was not feeling good. My stomachache started and soon I started vomiting. I thought it is normal because from last few weeks puking twice a day has become routine. But it didn't stopped after that I somehow managed to sleep but at 6.10 I vomited again then on 6.45 again. My man and I was really worried what is happening and I was felling fully exhausted and it is taking my whole strength and m felling pain also in my stomach.
Because till them my stomach has become empty, We thought it will stop but it is becoming more severe at 7.30 we rushed to hospital in emergency and the doctor available there is a physician, as the day was Sunday all other doctors are off the duty. Then the doctor available there contacted Gyno-1 but she failed to contact her( don't know why sometimes doctor don't show importance to the patients condition, yes I agree they too have their personal lives, still they themselves has chosen such profession that demands your maximum time).
Coming back to our topic, then we contacted Gyno-2 and she told us name of two injections ( stemetil and asoprazole)
Which according to her I need to take them as soon as possible. Meanwhile all this is happening my condition keeps on deteriorating I continued vomiting empty stomach. I was just puking saliva type stuff but that puking itself was taking my whole breath out and my full energy too.
Then I thing just because of my babies luck we got both the injections available in hospitals only.After taking injections I just rested and slept for 2hrs.
This whole ssituation we both have gone through was not less than a nightmare for us. I personally was feeling very low and also blaming myself why I am having babies I was just feeling out of the world that why God has choosen me for all this trouble. On the other side I know the happines, joy, love I am going to have. My both the Gyno always says your trouble, pain and difficultlies will also get double with your whole parenting journey.
My man also has gone through a lot in that few hours. Firstly, mentally is my wife fine and my babies should be ok they should not get little bit of harm. Secondarily, the physical exhaustion from home to hospital and hospital to home too many rounds plus to be always there to give me support when I am puking and to clean all the mess created by me. Lastly, after this all he have to give me mental support that don't worry everything is fine and nothing will happen.


Somehow my first trimester ended with a lots of ups and downs.


Second Trimester

Puking machine


The puking problem has not stopped following me in my second trimester also. Everytime I puke it was like insanely sore muscles and a certainty that I have  torn something internally. I personally don't like to have muh medicines because of aftereffects it can have on my babies. But if, u feel that your situation is not coming under control, without having medicines. Than you can go for it as per prescribed by your Gyno. But it will be good if you can avoid it or limit yourself with one tablet a day. You can also do these following things

1 Eat small meals on regular intervals.
2 Take proper rest.
3 Don't ever try to suppress your hunger.
4 Drinkwater between your meals
5 Try to take breakfast as sion as possible
6 Try to drink lemon water ( it helped me a lot)
7 Try to have cold food as compared to hot ones
8 Stay Hydrated
9 Track your nausea# so you can get alert at that time)
10 Take pregnancy Multivitamins on time

Gastric problem

Second Trimester was quiet smooth 13th-15th week's has gone with very ease. During 16th week I started feeling severe heartburn, that too in night it becomes worse whatever I will eat heartburn keeps following me. If by mistake also I have taken little spicy food that night I can't sleep, no antiacid in the world can work for me. Due to the fear of this I developed fear of food. But food is your life and in this case I have to feed and have to help to develope two more lifes. And this heartburn continued with my whole pregnancy.

Inorder to avoid gastric problem
Firstly-
Avoid excess of food items which are gastric in nature like potato, cauliflower, breads, butter etc and also avoid too much spicy food because spicy food can lead you to some serious trouble.
Secondly-
You can go with mild anti-acids and if you can go for the syrups then it is best because syrups are mild and don't harm your infant and if you are having gastric problem you an easily go with syrups and medicines twice a day without giving it much- to- think. That severe heartburn really spoils your day and sleep too so you must take care of it.


Breathing problem

In 19th week I started to develop breathing problem. This problem also gave mw a panic feeling. I can't ladown for more than 20mns in a span. If I tries to do so I found it harder to breathe. I contacted my Gyno-1 she told me it's nothing to worry just cause I was carrying more than 1 baby. Size of my uterus is increasingly fastly and is becoming big which is pressuring the diaphragm,which as a result is causing me breathing problem. But breathing problem always kept me high on breathe if I do little bit of extra work I would just become short of breathe.
For breathing problem you can follow this:


1- Change Position as soon as you feel breathless move to the position you find it easier to breathe.

2- Don't Overdo listen to your body signals and whenever you feel you are exceeding your limits try to slow down.

3-  Practise Good Posture try to keep your shoulde're and upper body straight.

4- prop some extra pillows while sleeping just to keep your upper body little high.

Urinary Tract infection

Somehow may be due to travelling I get caught by UTI during my 23rdweek. UTI that too during pregnancy seriously I headphone through the hell due to it. Extra discharge, burning and pain there with that cute baby bump is really getting difficult for me. My Gynos has prescribed me vaginal agents. Because during pregnancy we should've having medicines orally because directly or indirectly it can harm baby. According to my radiologist I got caught by UTI so easily because  I do have a lot of excess  fluid in my amniotic sac. Don't know exactly whatever may be the reason but I will call and say all the would be mother's please do whatever you want to do but try to protect yourself from vaginal inflections during pregnancy.


Ultrasound time

We have gone for our next ultrasound on 18th week I was waiting very eagerly to meet my babies ads when I saw them I just got so excited as usual but was nervous at the same time. Doctor told us this month ultrasound is very important as far babies development is concerned.
Doctor then told us both the babies are doing fine and is growing well. I too is now able to track them without much difficulties. Just wants to know everything about them

And yes how we can forget that cute  belly bump. Your belly which carries your babies helps to nurture them and if you are pregnant with multiple babies in 4-5 months only you will have belly like nine months singleton mother. You will be started to look like a big giant creature.

With all these sweet pains of having my world in my hands and trying to be brave anyhow I completed my second trimester.

All get ready and leaves for the celebration

Avika: mummy see the lights, I just want to hold them.
Arnav: wow I am out again, so many people to see.
Arnav-today only loves to be always out and to have car or bike ride.
Then we all went towards the food.

Anav: so much to eat
Avika: nd so much crowd, I dun Lyn crowd
Arnav: wow Papa it seems so tasty, takes one bite huhhhh itz so spicy.
Avika: hahaha but I love spicy food so what, if it shakes you.

Papa brings something sweet
Arnav: uhnmm so tasty
Avika: hmmmm itz ok ok

Then crow's starts to grow everyone gets busy in eating and enjoying .
Big dustbins are placed in the middle for throwing your used plates and all stuff.

Arnav: AVika see what big buckets are these
Avika : yes, and see evry1 is throwing garbage in it
Arnav: wait see what I do. Mummy one bite plz. And then spits ing the dustbin
Avika: itz how much to hang on these so called dustbin.
 Mummy Papa got fed puny saying them to stay away from it.
 Then
Arnav: see dog I will catch him, run

Arnav-AVika leave the hand of Mummy and run see as m doing

Arnav: no chance mummy papa are so old to run,behind us
Arnav and AVika then runs and Mummy Papa tried hard to catch them.

Avika: cry cry cry. I want to go home, no matter who all are watching me but I will cry.
Arnav-I will run everywhere possible.


Evryone watching them, naughtiness of little ones.
Mummy and papa becoming mad

But it is also a fun and hard part of parenting.
You have to understand the wishes, curiosity, mood. And at the same time, you have your patience, energy and mutual understanding get tested.

Two for one - personal twin birth pregnancy experience PART 1

Getting pregnant with twins itself brings whole host of Joy, Anxiety, Confusion, Emotions, nervousness and  happiness. It's obvious because your plan of having 'baby' is going to end up with 'babies'

In case of twins this saying is so true
"Miracles comes in pairs"

Guys this post is for all those ladies who are going through or had gone through this wonderful gift of God called pregnancy wether single or multiple babies. Because you can surely relate yourself anyhow  by comparing your current situations with mine or by feeling that you are not only the one who had gone through this all. Will try to provide you information in detail. That is why y will cover pregnancy story in parts.

Week when it all started

The day when both the stripes turnd pink, from that day only our life got changed. Me and my man was planning to have baby bit then also we got mixed feelings about it. The news that we are going to have baby brought the wave of happines in our whole family and among our friend circle. We got to know about it when I was 4week pregnant.
Next day only we visited our Gyno, she asked us to have an ultrasound
We planned to go for ultrasound after 3 days because I do live in a town and at that time good facility of ultrasound is not available. So, we have to go.      For having our first ultrasound.
Meanwhile my morning sickness has started and it is so severe that my whole day was consumed in fighting with my morning sickness plus dizziness and fatigue. I just created a hatred relation with food, fruits and evrythng. But my man has decided he will stand by me and he always make sure that I should have my proper meals. But then also evening meal just became impossible for me. Because while having dinner I was in total fear that just after having food only my morning sickness will trigger back and it do happened till my whole first trimester.

First ultrasound visit

During our first ultrasound visit while waiting for our appointment in the hospital my heart was pounding very fast
Because of various reasons: 

1 will everything will be fine, my baby Will be fine na. This thought came just because nowadays hearing negative cases of pregnancy has become so common and we really can't feel the actual pain they ho through.

2 At that time I seriously don't know the actuall process of ultrasound that's why somewhere in back of my mind there was the fear, do having ultrasound will be painful or not. I know it is funny.

3 how I will react after seeing my baby,  what all questions I will ask from my.  doctor.
 Soon we are called in and my anxiety was at its peak. Ultrasound got done. Doctor said currently I can't tell you exactly because fetus isn't developed it is at its initial stage, heartbeat is also not found but yes there are two small dots it means you are going to have twins. 

We are like, we don't know how to react, because till now our baby oh sorry our babies has not gained life. But we are going to have twins, guesses the twins by only knowing this I was on the moon.


Native Home and second ultrasound

Then we planned to visit our native home so that we can meet our parents and we have planned to deliver our babies here only. So, we thought we should meet gynecologist (lets call her Gyno B)with whom we want to continue. Our first appointment with her was when I was 7week 6days pregnant. She did routine checkup followed by a other ultrasound. This time I was 100 times nervous than the last time. Just wants to c my both the babies for the first time. Last ultrasound report has scared us Little bit.
Our turn has came, me and my man looked at each other and he just made me feel relaxed just by his one look. Process just started and I can't believe what I just show on the screen.it was not split screen, two babies in the same screen both of them are my babies chosen us to their parents at same time. I was felling so blessed. 

Yess, I can see my both the babies growing. What if, they are just of grape size but can still see them moving. That moment I still can memorize any time. The fountain of happiness, emotions had started with a lot of butterflies in my stomach. Me and my man was little relived Thad day. Little relieved because somewhere we can sense the responsiabilities which are going to come on our way in the form of little living cutest Cupcakes.


Back to our place


When we came back I was 8week 3days pregnant.
My nausea, dizziness, morning-sickness has,becomes more severe. My day starts with puking and ends with puking. I was finding myself unable to do work for large time or I can't move fast. Because of this all morning-sickness, dizziness session I started to fill low, weak, fatigued all the time. I just wanted to lay down on bed or what I do is just watched T.V.
I also do feel very severe hunger a lot of time but after seeing food I dont feel to have it. But yes every morning I must needed something to it and of I doesn't get it my sugar-level comes down and I just get fainted this problem I had faced during my whole journey of pregnancy. That's why according to my gynecologists, I have to take small meals in small intervals. So that I don't feel hungry every time and my sugar blood level, nausea, dizziness will remain in control.

Diet and hard time in eating

During pregnancy I was trying very hard to eat healthy food for my babies. The things which I included in my diet was
 Fruits like (Apple, pormngreat, banana etc
 Milk
 Chappati
 Green veggies
 Pulses
 Rice
 Curd  
 Coconut water
 jaggery
 cottage cheese

 I just stopped consuming things which includes caffeine because caffeine is not considerd good for babies. Therefore I excluded four c's from my life
coffee, chocolate and colddrink.
But at the same time I am finding it very difficult to consume anything, because if I do eat something little excess also then at that time only I have to go for puke. In first trimester to puke after dinner was like got fixed for me. Taking dinner has really became so tough for me.

Will surely update a diet plan for you in future,here o just had tried to cover up the major stuffs to include and excluded from the diet.



Guys journey had just started we have to go very far, so guys keep fastened your seat belts. Part2 will come soon.

ARNAV-Today it rained heavily

Hiee guys it's Arnav- guys you know what, today it rained lot. So, we asked mommy why and how so much water comes down from the sky, did someone forgot to close the tap there or God is crying over there. Then mama told us no God never cries he always spreads happiness and blessings on us.
It was really so beautiful to watch rain. I and Avika enjoyd a lot seeing all trees, flowers, roads and our swings are bathing, they all don't bath regularly like us, but today they bathed for very long time.
I love bathing I too want to go and enjoy with them all but my mom said no, she said i will fall Ill. I dun understand then why she makes me bath daily if water will make me fall sick.
Mama told us that God have control on the tap of rain he turns it off when there is Neuf water,like mommy turns tap off when our bucket get full.
I only do have one fear that my swings and flowers should not fall sick because after Avika they are my best buddies I love to play with them. But mommy told me they will not because they are very strong.
One day for sure I will get wet in rain and for surewill have fun.

Is it really diffrent to have TWiNS

Being getting pregnant itself takes u to different world and when you come to know that you are having multiple babies curiosity anxiety everything reaches to the peak,It's understandable. A body is creating more than one person at once.
You will have two life's connected to you nd in my case it is two amniotic sac connected with same placenta mo're blood.
Your skin and musceles have to go through stretch and strech. Wicked heartburn, breathing problem everything get doubled. Everyone who see baby bump can easily guess that something double is happening there
When we came to know about twins my husband and I are like wow we are going to have two cutie pies with us to play and enjoy. But when my MIL came to know about it she got mixed feeling of happiness and sense of responsibility, hardwork that we all have to play.
As not only if happiness blessings only get doubled with having twins but ur everything get doubled ur responsiblities. For Eg. In initial stageThe Benefits of Having Twins. Apart from the most obvious efficiency factor (one pregnancy, one birth) there are many advantages of having twins work of feeding and changing and physically holding our children most of the day, emotional urge related with it babies, waking up with it babies in the night, your tiredness every thing get doubled.
Having twins not only make u feel unique but at the same ttime it sometimes make u feel isolated to from it family and friends too. Sorry but yes it is truePeople might think wow they are lucky but in realy no one can understand except those who are having multiple babies " pain and gain". They are just two for the price of flliping two.
But yes the're are Benefits of Having Twins. Apart from the most obvious efficiency factor (one pregnancy, one birth) there are many advantages of having twins! Your just have to throw one birthday  party every year
Your twins will always have a buddy,and partner in crime with them since they can remember
They will be always there for each other whenever they will need anyone
And u sometimes seriously get jealous of itself only that how cuetly and adorably it double production is busy in themself crerating there securely language and games
But mind it guys this is only until u don't catch their attention coz once u gt their attention, it really become a head scratching q question for u which baby to hold because when it comes to have mommy daddy's attention they become the most hatred enemy. :-p 
So all the Moomy and Daddy with twins and multiple babies shout out loud

" we gave birth to twins, what is your super power"
