Me da pena tener que contaros todo este rollo, yo que queria contaros mil historias graciosasl, pero quizás en este momento necesite más la terapia de grupo. Venga Cristina! Armate de valor y coge al toro por los cuernos!!!!
Después de un par de días:
Pues ya me harté, ya me levanté, me puse la careta de perro, saqué el latigo y empezé a poner orden. Y menos mal que tenía experiencia en la India porque si no esto tumba a un caballo… Lo primero: ya nos arreglaron la conexión a internet porque si no a ver cómo me iba a dar la dosis!!!!!
Continuará…
So we are finally here in Aurangabad. And I don’t even know where to start to tell you what is going on. I think I should start with the most important thing: we are all well and we arrived without any difficulty. But I must confess that this is more difficult than I expected, can you believe that I’m already considering the idea of going back!!! We hate our new house, have you ever felt when you are entering in some place that it is “soulless”? That is what we feel in here. Actually we felt that when we were visiting Mikkel’s collegue here last year, but we were just visiting and we never gave it a second thought. But this time we arrived in here and we felt emptiness. After that we found what we expected and is a common rule in India: everything is dirty and nothing is working properly. But we are already working on that part. Mikkel was already in the office a couple of days and I stayed at home with the baby. The poor little boy must feel confused, too because he complains very often and he screams regularly. That’s the worse part for me. I can see that he’s tired but he just can’t sleep a good stretch of hours (now he’s moving so much in the middle of the night that he’s waking up because of that). During the day he doesn’t sleep enough either, he never did, so of course he is tired. And we can’t forget the heat. And to add some spices in the situation he only wants to be attached to me and we look like siamese twins. I can’t move from his field of radar, which it doesn’t cover much. If I could trust somebody then I could have some help once in a while, but I don’t have anybody at the moment so we are attached from morning to evening. He doesn’t want to crawl or even to give it a try, he just want to stand up with my help and try to walk (but believe or not he wants to crawl in the middle of the night). And today I saw next to the teeth that he already has a little white bump, that means that another tooth is in the way and that doesn’t help here! I’m almost not moving from home, I only make the basic groceries because very often he starts to scream in the middle of wherever we are (with the consequence that a bunch of people come to look why a “fair” skin baby is crying) If I start to cook something it doesn’t take long and he starts to complain and a concert of screaming tones starts with different modalities of volume. If I try to organize the place a bit we have the same situation, I get countless of different tones of complain and I get K.O. I then spend the whole time trying to entertain him and furthermore trying to be the best bullfighter with all these people that are coming and going who are supposed to fix stuff, but I’m not quite sure what kind of stuff they are really fixing because we still don’t have running hot water, we can’t open some of the windows, our internet connection is down most of the time, etc. And this is me, Cristina, the adverturer, the globe trotter, the one that loves to spend hours investigating new places and finding lots of things to do! Today I was thinking that there are so many people traveling with babies of the same age (eight and half months), how do they do to have happy babies? Maybe they are better sleepers? Maybe the moms are cool and know lots of tricks? I have no clue. But I’m feeling so tired that I just picture myself all the time in the plane on the way back to Europe. I thought I was too negative, but today Mikkel was at home all day and he was totally surprised to see the situation…
It’s just so sad that I don’t have lots of fun stories to tell you at the moment, but I thought I needed the group therapy much more this time! C’mom Cristina, you can do it!
A couple of days later:
I got really fed up with everything, I got up, I put on my pit bull dog mask on, I took my whip and I started to get things done. And luckily I was experienced with the Indian way of doing things, because this could kill a horse! The first thing that I got fixed: the internet connection. Otherwise how could I have my daily fix?!!!

Las mudanzas las ha inventado el mismo diablo, para ponernos a las madres y a los bebés de los nervios...
Un supersaludo
Espera, a ver... yo creo que debo tener por ahí una careta que quizá te sirva... sí, toma, la careta del INCREÍBLE HULK. Espero que te sirva y que el color verde te favorezca.
Besitos por correo urgente.
Menos mal que mi mudanza el año pasado fue de una calle a otra que estaba a unos 500 metros.
ánimo, piensa que pronto ni lo recordarás como un mal sueño.
Hola guapa!
Ten paciencia, ya sabes que India es dura y mucho contraste. Te llevara unos días olver a cambiar el chip... Seguro que lo estas haciendo muy bien y que estás siendo dura contigo misma. Desde luego India es un lugar duro para ir con un bebe. A ver si nos enseñas un poco la casa y la ciudad, tengo ganas.
Leyendo tu post recuerdo que en nuestra casa tampoco habia agua caiente. Venden una especie de cacerolas electricas que calientan agua, eso usabamos nosotros. Bueno, mucho ánimo y un abrazo grande!!
SW si, yo que me hacía la experta guay en mudanzas pero lo que no sabía era lo que esto conllevaba con un bebé! Y Gemma.a vete empaquetando la careta del Increible Hulk porque la de perro pit bull si no se me va a hacer muy vista y ya no me van a hacer caso. Madre reciente, en por lo menos otros dos anyos ni pienses en mudarte porque imaginate la situación de un peque intentando meterse en todas las cajas y tu con el otro en la bandolera medio muerta de suenyo!!! Noooo quedate en tu casita un tiempo!
Marcoiris, si, la India puede acabar contigo, no se sabe hasta que no estás ahí. Ya me pasó la otra vez, pero ahora con un bebé con el sindrome de la ansiedad de la separación no es fácil. Lo del agua caliente es cachondeo porque tienen el calentador pero no lo instalan del todo y te mandan ir a buscar el agua caliente a otro sitio. Pero con la careta de perro rabioso ya se han puesto manos a la obra :-)
oye pues mira si tiens k dar 4 voces las das k aveces senecesita sacar el mal royo de dentro.si decides venir pues me taes al neno y me lo dejas¿ a k no eres capaz? a k ahora prefieres tenerlo pegao ehhh sofia
lo primero muchos besotes y un gran abrazo, y lo segundo es k estoy segura k dentro de un par de dias lo tendras todo bajo control, asik kiero k antes de levantarte de la cama recuerdes lo estupenda k eres, lo mucho k vales y lo bien k te lo vas a pasar convirtiendo la casa en tu hogar.
