May 30th - interesting week!

This week has been hectic and tense.
First things first: Vasavi is feeling lot better - she even gained just a tiny bit of weight. She now consistently clocking at 64.2 kgs. I think she was around 63.6kgs last month. So, it is big change. But she still continues to be nauseatic: twice a day! May be cereals making her vomit. Have to switch to a new breakfast. She is taking diclectin and ..
Been to Angrignon mall with Geeta and Sagar on Sunday 29th May for maternity clothing shopping. There was only one shop. But it does not have many varieties. They didnt fit properly. Tried at Sears but surprising Sears does not have maternity cloth line!
But we came across beautiful Cribs! Initially I was apprehensive that cribs are very heavy and moving would be a herculean task. But by looking at different models of Cribs in Sears, it looks like not a big task. There were wood and plastic models. But wooden ones seem to be more comfortable for the baby. It can be used even when the baby is around 3 years old. Plastic ones seem to be fancy with lot of electronic flashes but they seem to be small. Once the baby reaches 2 years old, they might be small for the baby.
Looking at them and thinking about the baby was one sweet memory.
So, decided that whatever might be the effort with the moving, would go with wood cribs!

Then, this decision of trying out at IPI. Initially decided to just stay in Montreal but Geeta and Sagar reasoned it would be better off in US. Had bit of discussion with Vasavi, half-heartedly decided to apply for IPI.
Good things would be baby would become US citizen, hospital care would be better and more money.
On the flip side, what happens if IPI decided to lay off? We might loose the Canadian PR. If we live here for another 2 yeras, we can become citizens and we have more flexibility to move anywhere in the world. Also, hospital care seem to be fine in Jewish general. Have not heard one bad thing about Jewish general. But one thing is for sure - US hospital care would definitely be better as it is private!
In the end, US-born baby and better hospital care for the baby out-weighed everything and talked to Alberto. Alberto said IPI is not safe and I am in his good books and even in the worst case, my job is safe. But I told him that I want to see what IPI offers and if I dont like the offer I will just stick to LMC. Also I dont want to be in a position of regreting in future that I did not try to get into IPI when things are turbulent in LMC. He is okay, he said I would be needed until July 1st.
Send a mail to Tariq and Keith and waiting to hear back from them.
