We all welcomed Suki with open arms, but the folks at The Petite Cafe know how to say welcome back with an even sweeter gesture.

They do it with their mouth-watering stuffed cupcakes...and when they heard Suki was coming back they made sure she had a batch waiting for her.

Larry Hoff took a surprise trip to Suki's house on Staten Island to help her prepare for her return to work and introduce everyone to Kiran for the first time!

Hi Everyone,

Hope this e-mail finds you all doing well. I can't believe that we are less than two months from my due date. Wow, talk about a reality check!

This week, I really have seen a change in my body clock. Talk about sleep deprivation. I've been going to sleep every night at 11pm. The baby has been kicking me all night long ;) I'm ok with it because I guess it's a sign of things to come and frankly, I have no choice.

Other than that, next week we have the sonogram and the hospital tour. Fun...fun...fun! By the way, I'm thinking about getting a doula. Anyone, have any suggestions?

This weekend, though, my mother is throwing me a baby shower. I'm so looking forwrad to seeing my family and friends. I will share some pictures with you next week. All the girls are coming to Staten Island, so I'll have to show them a good time.

And by the way, tell me what you thought about the viewer baby shower that I just threw or as I like to call it, "Suki Mama Mania."

We're giving away a diaper bag filled with items worth $500 and also a gift from www.diapers.com. We will be doing this every Friday until I deliver. Trust me, we are going to have some awesome giveaways including strollers, car seats and possibly baby furniture.

Have a great weekend and I will see you on Monday!

Hi Everyone,

Hope you had an awesome week. Mine was a little crazy after the Real Birth marathon birthing classes I tortured my husband with this past weekend. I owe him big.

Birthing stories are so different and unique but I'm really praying that my labor will not last 24 to 48 hours. I've had many women share their experiences with me and most of them have been great, but why is it that you always remember the really bad ones? I'm praying that I will be able to deliver vaginally. I also really want a doula too. I know that sounds far out for some people, but I'm hoping that I will be able to get some pain management stratgies that will help me get through this. I'm sure you all might have some techniques out there that helped you so I'm curious to hear what helped you all the most.

Also more importantly, I will be throwing you, the viewer, a shower! Yes, it will be shower of sorts with a bunch of goodies that you all will be able to get your hands on :)

It will kick off next Friday and will last until I deliver on August 11th. It will be informative, fun and the best part in these tough economic times FREE!!!!!!! I really want to help you all out. So this is what I have done.

I have reached out to some wonderful sponsors like Toys R' Us, McClaren, Graco and Diapers.com, just to name a few wonderful companies that may want to get involved.
I will have more details soon. Just keep it posted right here and the Goodies are going to be good.

Have a great weekend and I'll keep you posted on Suki Mama Mania!!!

Hi Everyone,

Hope your week went well. I just finished an interview with Angie Harmon. What a beautiful woman and to think that she is a mother of three. Ugh... I can't even imagine looking that beautiful all the time. Some people are truly blessed and she is so down-to-earth. We can all aspire right?

This week has been really interesting. There were lots of things to do. My husband and I will be taking a marathon baby class this weekend at Real Birth. It's not something I'm looking forward to but I have so many questions and such little time that I have to get to work.

Other than that, we are doing great. The baby is getting bigger and there is no question that I am pregnant.

Hope you all have a great weekend!

- Sukanya

Hi Everyone,

I hope you are all doing great. I'm on Week 28. It's hard to believe how quickly time is flying by. So many things happening emotionally. Talk about being overwhelmed sometimes! The body is starting to feel heavier and I definitely have the pregnant woman waddle :) . Sometimes, when I catch myself I have try to straighten up but it's hard to do. LOL

The baby is growing and I feel it every day. I can't seem to wrap my mind around what is going to happen in a few short week.

I just read a book and it said in the 28th week, the baby already has hair and has about 2% to 3% body fat. And the book tells me to talk to baby all the time. So if you see me talking to myself, I'm really talking to the baby. Ha!

I did have a crazy three-hour class on breast feeding at Real Birth in NYC. It's amazing what the body is going to do. I wish I could get into everything I learned but I can't. Let's just say they don't call it a miracle for nothing :)

Anyway, have a great weekend. Hope your Memorial Day will be a good one.

Hi Everyone,

Here we are at Week 27 and things are going great. I'm starting to feel Braxton Hicks and, by the way, what a crazy feeling.

Braxton Hicks are simply the pre-contractions that prepare you for labor and delivery and well it is a reminder everyday of what's to come. The baby is also moving a ton and sometimes I feel so much pressure, it's an incredible feeling. It's kind of like getting the wind knocked out of you.

Other than that, Eric and I are doing great. My mother is throwing a shower so preparations are underway for that. I will get some pictures up when that happens.

Hope you all have a great weekend and I will see you soon.

- Sukanya

Hi Everyone,

This is the final week of my second trimester. I'm feeling great and things are already starting to happen. I'm definitely in the nesting phase and anything you put near me will be organized, cleaned and put away. I think I'm driving my husband crazy :) Well, I'm sure I already did that along time ago. Ha!!

In regards to the baby, its eyelids have finally open and I guess my little one is taking a look at it's tiny surrounds. I hope the baby is comfortable and happy. It's weird but I worry about everything. Am I eating enough vegetables and fish? Am I exercising enough? I guess this is the begining of feeling guility all the time. Welcome to motherhood, hugh!

Speaking of all the time, this baby is very active and it kicks all the time. In fact, something funny happened this week. Eric asked the baby to kick once if it was a girl or twice if it was a boy. Well, the baby responded and it kicked once. I could not believe it and it made me laugh out loud. We still don't know the sex of the baby so this was our non-scientific experiment.

On a side note, I've also been addicted to the Discovery show, Babies: Special Delivery. They're kind of scary to watch so I'm hoping those classes at Real Birth will help out.

I'll keep you posted and let's hope the rain stops and the sun comes out.

Happy Mother's Day to all you moms and moms-to-be out there. I'll be thinking of you.

- Sukanya

Hi Everyone,

Things are going great!! We are checking things off our list. Registry done. Birthing classes will be done.

We found a great place called Real Birth in New York City. They offer classes in everything from delivery, child care, breast feeding and pain management. If you are thinking about any of these issues, check out their website. I will tell you, I am looking forward to taking some classes though I know nothing can really prepare you for the baby.

On the baby front, the baby is moving a ton and it is such a wonderful feeling. I'm trying to imagine what this little thing is going to be like and I have to tell you it makes me so excited.

I have one more major test for gestational diabetes in two weeks and then I hope it will be smooth sailing. I hope you have a great weekend. And thank you for all your e-mails.

- Sukanya

Hi Everyone,

It's Week 24 and, well, I'm starting to panic a little. So many things have to be crossed off that check list and well I think I've done two :)

I had a slight panic attack yesterday but, luckily, I was able to just get over it mostly because I received this amazing book from Parenting and Babytalk. I've been very apprehensive about reading too much about pregnancy and didn't want to psyche myself out. But when this book came across my desk, I had to pick it up.

The book is from the editors of The Babytalk Insider's Guide to Your Baby's First Year and it truly has been a Godsend. It kind of helps you think about your parenting style, breast feeding and just so many other things that I have not thought about. I recommend it because it doesn't just preach just one technique.

Other than that, things are going on very well. Six months and counting and, boy, is it going by fast. Hope you have a great weekend and I'll talk to you soon.

- Sukanya

Hi Everyone,

We're two-thirds of the way there! Week 23 is here and I'm really starting to show. Dr. Steve even commented today on how I just suddenly popped out.

The pregnancy on the whole has been great, but I have to tell you but I am feeling more tired than I ever have. Maybe the baby is getting me used to sleep depravation. LOL

I even went out and bought that body pillow. I'm a stomach sleeper so this is going to be fun trying to readjust. I just started having dreams of my baby saying, "Get me outta here. You are crushing me in your tummy, mommy" :) That is not what I want to do.

Other than that, plans are under way for the baby shower and I recently just registered. That was a mind blowing experienece. There were too many choices but, luckily, I had a great person with me named Jessica at BuyBuy Baby who helped me out.

Take care everyone and have a great weekend.

- Sukanya

Hi Everybody.

Week 22 and feeling great!

I felt the baby move this week and it was an incredible experience. It was a slight flutter and I truly didn't know what the heck was going on but when I put two and two together, it all made sense. It's kind of crazy thing because I know I'm pregnant, but it's not until you see a sonogram or feel that baby that you become totally connected again to this wonderful thing happening to you. My husband also got a chance to feel the baby move. He thought it was gas:) LOL.

Other than that, nothing really to report. The baby is getting bigger and my cravings for Carvel Sundaes continue to grow stronger and stronger each day:)

I hope you all have a Happy Easter and Passover.

- Sukanya

Hi Everyone,

I hope you are all doing well. I'm at Week 21 and let's just say it's going to be a big one. We had our first fetal sonogram and things are looking great. The heart, the spine, the liver, the brain -- everything is on track.

The baby is also off the charts when it comes to weight. It weighs 1 pound and 2 ounces. Yikes! All I kept thinking during that sonogram was, "I hope I have the strength to push this baby out come August."

As for the week, it's been challenging. I was sick for the first time and took some time off. It's strange not being able to take a dose of anything. And this baby has been so good to me that I really can't complain.

Other than that, we are doing great! Oh, I've offically given up my regular pants and into maternity pants. All I have to say: why was I fighting it? :)

Keep your e-mails coming. I look forward to reading all of them.

- Sukanya

Hi Everyone,

Week 20 is here and my belly isn't the only thing that's growing. In fact, I went bra shopping and, well, let's just say I'm almost as big as my cubicle mate Jill :) LOL.

According to the books, I should have gained 10 pounds by now and will be gaining a pound a week. Oh, the things to look forward to. Instead of a small house, I'll start looking like a shed.

The baby weighs about 10 1/2 ounces and is about 6 1/2 inches long from the head to heal, though the doctor already said my baby is off the charts.

The books also says that the baby is swallowing more these days, which is good practice for his digestive system. He's also producing meconium, a black, sticky by-product of digestion. This gooey substance will accumulate in his bowels, and you'll see it in his first soiled diaper (some babies pass meconium in the womb or during delivery).

I'm hanging in there and so far so good. My husband and I are looking forward to buying a house soon so junior will have a place to sleep and relax. I know for a fact this is the calm before the storm, so I'm trying to enjoy the second trimester before my ankles and hormones start to swell.

I hope all is well with you. Till next week.

All the best,
Sukanya

Hi Everyone,

We are at week 19 and I am feeling great. As you can see from this picture, I'm really starting to show. It's kind of crazy and beautiful watching your body expand this way.

The baby is doing well and I have a slew of doctor appointments next week. I will keep you posted on what is going on. I'm looking forward to picking out names, finding a house for all of us to live in and shop for some new clothes.

I will keep you all posted week to week as to how I am doing. More to come!!!

Thanks,
Sukanya

Hi Everyone,

Thank you so much for all your prayers and e-mails. I read each and every one of them and was so very touched by everything you all had to say.

You're all very nice to say I had a glow because I feel like a small shed these days :) Not quiet a house yet, lol.

I will keep you posted in regards to the baby and everything that comes with that. I'm going to start blogging and will keep you posted on anything else that comes to mind regarding the baby. I need your help so give me some ideas. Tell me what you think.

All the best,
Sukanya

Hi Everybody,

So, I guess the cat is out of the bag now. I wasn't just putting on weight for no reason at all :)

My husband and I are very excited to share this news with all of you. Right now, I'm 18 weeks pregnant. The baby weighs about 9 ounces and according to my OB/GYN, the baby is in the 98th percentile when it comes to height and weight.

We are not finding out the sex, though I feel in my heart it is a baby boy. I guess we will just have to wait and see on August 11th what God has planned for us. All I can say is that we are hoping for a happy and healthy baby.

Thanks for always being so supportive of me and I hope to keep you posted about this new adventure into motherhood.
