Different babies move around differently, I heard this often as a kid, but I understand it now when I see the way my daughter is moving around. I have seen babies crawl, roll, and some sit on their butt and move along using their elbows and thighs. My daughter has a unique style, which my husband and I call the worm. She started moving this way in her sixth month.
It starts off with her lying on the ground on her back and staring at the roof. Next she places her feet flat on the ground, as she does that she lifts her butt and back off the ground. At this point of time her head, part of her shoulders and feet are the only parts on the ground. As she lowers her butt and back to the ground, her head slides up in the direction she is moving, and she becomes flat again.
She repeats these steps and moves 8 feet in around five minutes. Other than this she can roll, which is pretty common for babies. If she keeps moving this way, I should fit into my skinny jeans in two months :).

Before the baby ....
We were expecting a baby girl for a while now, she was due May 24th 2009. 2008 was a whirlwind year for me. It was extremely exciting and fun. I traveled a great deal starting with trips to upstate New York, Baltimore, Washington DC, New York City, Chicago, New Hampshire, Florida. The momentum carried through in 2009 too, I traveled to India during my second trimester and returned during the third trimester.
In India my mother threw me the Iyer baby shower also known as the Valagapu and Seemandam. The ceremony was fun and it was nice meeting up with my relatives. Following this my mother in law gave me the Maharashtrian baby shower also known as the khelvan. After relaxing at home and getting pampered, I returned to the USA. After much discussion my husband and I finalized on the name Veda. My friends threw me a surprise baby shower on the 22nd of March and my colleagues surprised me on May 7th.
My mother came to assist me with the delivery on April 24th. I worked till May 27th. Our little girl Veda finally arrived on May 28th 2009 at 3:28am (EST), weighing 7lb 8oz and 20.5" at birth.
