Sleeping beauty - My First Month

My favourite activity in the first month was sleeping.

During the first 7 days of hospital stay, everyone used to wonder how I am surviving with so little feeding time. But newborns supposedly have buffer bulit up while in mother's womb that can help them survive for the first few days. My first home was my maternal grandparents' place where I spent my first 6 weeks. We were five of us - ammamma (grandmom), thathagaru (grandpa), pinni (aunty) and myself and mummy. My Ravi mama was in Germany at that time. I was the primary source of entertainment in the family. I got full attention even when asleep. Everyone would amusingly watch me smile, laugh and cry in sleep:) Mummy though had sleepless nights for those initial weeks as I would sleep all through the day to become a night owl!


My Daddy, nannamma (paternal grandmom) and Uma and Purna aunties would visit me frequently.

I lost weight in the first week of my birth and regained my birth weight by 3rd week. Thereafter I gradually started to put on.

My naming ceremony happened on the 21st Day. In few more days I had entered my 2nd month!!
