Oh my Bump! is my weekly chronicling of this little pie baking away, and a sharing of the ebbs and flows of being two at a time. Its a wonderful journey of rising and falling hormones, the beating of two hearts, and a huge sea of change to the body. It’s love and life all the way. 

 

Those 5 secs of fame! #featured #happinessflamboyanceenergy

 
23 weeks! This week had a super busy feel to it with rounds of shopping, the yearly Dussehra festival, the holiday festivities and a ton of things. Finally I have made my peace with maternity clothes, of which I like my swimsuit the best :D, and have learnt to flaunt the curves and the light-bulb of a skin. I may have just found the purpose of my life. Finally. Thanks to the Dalai Lama and Vish who fished out an old slam book, thus providing much alacrity. This week therefore is huge. 😀 Plus sleep turned out to be extra awesome and thus the morale. Three scientists just won the nobel prize for studying the link between our circadian rhythms and health thus putting across path-breaking research on how the earth’s rotation vibes with our internal body-clock. Just the old tales on being in sync with the sun! At the derby last afternoon I chanced upon these lines of poetry, “lets learn from the almond leaf that flames as it falls. flamboyance is everything”. Those lines resonated with me. Flamboyance is indeed everything. Move over simplicity, am certainly so done with you! 😀
