Making her presence felt is more like it. Mummu is gonna be a Libran baby, and true to their characteristics she is this massively show off baby.
U recollect all those flashy tiny tots, who can talk, and you coax them to call you didi, aunty or to say a poem and they would never do it, and just when u turn around, u have this cute voice following ur ears from amidst these huge crowd, whom this tiny tot is eagerly entertaining. Mummu is no less.
Her timings are perfect and the end result, people staring away to glory at this tiny wave so clearly visible on my prominent tummy(I have quit wearing some
of my flashy yet hot short and fitting dresses thanks to the wave)
Mummu (just like me..Thank God and I thut she is carried ONLY Surajs genes) wants to have the last word or to be more precise the last action...
We had a Senior Manager from Korea (from our client site) over for a month for meetings/discussions. I started interacting with him when I was in my 7th
month. Mummu's behavior during this month was more or less subdued, well to wellphrase it, I thut she was a lazy kid (surprise awaits me).
She had a set pattern, the minute she would hear her dad she would be awake and if she didn't hear him, I felt she thought it was time to sleep.
So evenings, when Suraj would come to pick us up, Mummu would be happily playing, kicking around and swimming around. She would be awake as late as 2am with
herself and daddy talking n playing. Mornings she would gimme a couple of kicks to be happy with and then off to sleep. Like a sweet child she would be asleep through most of the day and I could get away with doing a whole load of work.
Couple of weeks in the 7th month, I had a meeting scheduled with this SM, we (3 of us, me another colleague and the SM) occupied a meeting room, we had to really crowd together (at the round table) mainly cos we had just one laptop we had to stare at.
The meeting began, with my colleague starting off on queries and I was listening, the SM was attentive at this point of time listening as well. After about 5 minutes, it was the SM's turn to speak, and speak he did, thankfully (or not) I was sitting at the corner a lil away from the table, giving space to mummu n sitting in a relaxed position.
And suddenly, I felt my tummy moving from one end to another, I thut I dreamt. I was caught so off-guard with the movements, that I got distracted (I was in a meeting rmbr...I had
to take back loads of stuff in my head and then document it).
For a couple of minutes, I couldn't figure out why the movements??? Mummu was sleeping...I could swear by anything...okah I knew I had a good hour to find out what was the movement all about.
I stood up for couple of minutes and the guys realised I wanted a break (so sweet of them).
I went for a walk, sat at my desk for couple of minutes, checked my mail and mummu didn't as much as move an inch. Surprised haan? My theory, She moved cos she likes the foreigner speaking :) now I have to get into the meeting room n prove it...
Alrightie so we went for the meeting again, my Agenda was clear "Aakhir Mummu move kar kyon rahi hai??"
1st Round :My colleague started off the meeting,
Mummus reaction -- No movement
I spoke, Mummus reaction -- No movement
SM spoke, Mummus reaction -- a slight butt wiggling (not so noticeable but it was there)
(Okah... theory proved right once...)
2nd Round :I spoke, Mummus reaction -- No movement
SM spoke, Mummus reaction -- movement...from left to the right (quite prominent)
(Right twice...)
3rd Round (and this is my final observation round):I am quiet...mainly cos I don't want to be distracted and want to prove that my theory is correct.
My colleague spoke and spoke and spoke (he had to explain a huge example with the help of numbers so that went on for a good 10 min..good enough for me),
Mummus reaction -- No movement
SM spoke, Mummus reaction -- movement...
SM paused...Mummu stopped
SM spoke (this time he reiterated that 10 min example) and Mummu moved from left to the right (quite prominent) and I felt I had this tiny tot an professional swimmer inside me, doing
her regular laps.
My reaction...I was staring away at this major show-off put in by my baby...
(Winning theory!!!)
