Month 4-5: A Journey with Chotu
August 29, 2024
Around 11 PM, I felt a gentle wobble in my tummy. It lasted just a few fleeting seconds, but it was unlike
anything I’d ever felt before—as if a tiny ball was moving inside me. In that instant, I knew it was you, Chotu.
My heart overflowed with joy, a kind of happiness that words cannot fully capture. Feeling you so early in my
pregnancy is a blessing that few experience, and you gifted it to me. Thank you, my little fighter, for being
with me, for knowing that Mamma needed this reassurance. You knew how much I love you, and that I would
do anything to protect you. Through this tiny movement, you reminded me that you're right here with me.
Thank you, Chotu.

Your soft movements have continued, especially at night. Each flutter feels like a divine whisper, reminding me
of your growing presence. It’s become a cherished ritual, feeling you almost every day. In those moments,
all my worries disappear, and I’m left with a sense of peace that’s beyond words.

I had trouble sleeping tonight, awake for most of the night. But you kept me company. I could feel you moving
so much—you’re already showing signs of being a night owl, just like your father! I felt you here, there, and
everywhere, constantly in motion. It was the sweetest feeling, and it made a restless night much easier to bear.

Week 18 has begun, and now I can feel you every day, especially at night. I’ve noticed a lovely little pattern—
you seem to be most active between 10:30 PM and midnight. This has quickly become the best part of my day,
and after feeling your presence, I sleep so deeply and peacefully.

The 19th week has arrived, and today Mamma attended a wonderful workshop. During a 10-minute
meditation, they encouraged us to talk to our babies, and I did. In those serene moments, I felt you moving,
and it seemed like you loved it! From this week onward, I’ve dedicated 3-4 hours each day just for you, Chotu,
and I cherish every minute. I feel your little movements when I eat, and especially before I go to bed—
you’re my active, loving baby, my steadfast little fighter. No matter the stress, you stand by me, strong and
unwavering.
Mamma has become very disciplined—starting the day with yoga, listening to soothing Raagas, meditating,
and spending time just talking to you. I cherish meditation the most because I can feel you moving so vividly.
I talk to you several times a day, and it’s the most blissful experience. You’ve even helped me adopt healthier
habits—no more cravings for junk food or sweets! I’m so grateful for you, my strong and healthy little one.
Your presence has brought such positive energy into my life.

This morning, I distributed food to those in need, and I couldn’t help but think that one day you’ll grow up to
be even more generous and kind-hearted. The rest of the day was filled with our routine, and I’m feeling
stronger, both mentally and physically, all because of you, Chotu.

Today was a special day—I finally saw my baby bump, and it made me so happy! I can’t wait to show you off,
my little one. Time to get some new clothes! While my weight hasn’t increased much, I know you’re growing
strong and healthy. Lately, I’ve been feeling a bit of stomach pain, but each time it happens, I sense that
you’re having a growth spurt. This month is crucial for your brain development, and I’m filled with
excitement for the journey ahead. Our time together—doing yoga, meditating, and talking—feels so special.
I know we’re going to share many more beautiful moments in the months to come, and I’m sure you’re going
to love it just as much as I do.
