Worst nightmare experience!


The 4 months of India trip came to an end. Now came the undesirable part of return flight journey. I was lucky enough to get a friend (Thanks to Vidhya Srinivasan) to accompany in the journey, but our bad, Kavya & Oviya didn't make it pleasant. Due to the crowd & new surrounding we had to face their uncontrollable crying right from the airport. Between weird looks and sympathetic comments we somehow traveled and reached USA (puff & pant) with the babies in infant carrier and luggage in hands, all the way!

To make the nightmare worse, the babies got stranger anxiety on seeing their dad who came to receive us at the airport. Neither they want to go with him nor ready to sit in the car. After much agitation, we reached home. The once they lived home and their own dad looked strange and new to them. It took 10 days for them to get adjusted and get along with dad although they wanted only me to make them sleep.
This was their reaction when taken a picture with dad and a picture with me in their new playpen :-)

                                           

Since we did not childproof the house fully, it was quite risky to leave them unattended in the room. So, we got them a playpen were they learned to sit, crawl and stand up. They rolled, moved, kicked inside the playpen without any danger of getting hurt. The jet lag was still there for a week which made them sleep so deep during nap times. Kavya would fall asleep immediately while drying her after the bath. Oviya would go to a deep sleep in whatever position she was, after the bath. Kavya's nap and Oviya's funny sleep position have been captured :-)


Later, both got comfortable with the new environment and started interacting with each other. This could be a part of their development or just sharing of sibling love. They seemed to touch and feel each other and tried to communicate with each other. The bonding between them started beautifully, after all they were born from the same womb just few seconds apart ;-)
