My Life in Hindu Holidays

I’ve had some really special moments of my life happen around Hindu holidays. We got married the day after Krishna Janmashtami and got to rock baby Krishna at the temple during our wedding ceremony. And this year it was the morning of Ganesh Chaturthi that I got a definitely positive pregnancy test.

Today I go in to the doctor for my second blood test to make sure everything is progressing well, but I’m at four and half weeks pregnant right now and all the signs are looking good.

I’m nervous and scared to hope. I’m feeling more fear and just general down-ness than I would have expected. I hope that once everything is confirmed and I meet with my midwife that I’ll start feeling more excited.

They’ll be lots of chance for prayers and thanks as we’re heading into the big holiday season. I’m very much looking forward to being pregnant for Navratri and Diwali.
