Day 1 - My Arrival

I begin my life with a thanks to the Almight God for bringing me into this world. It was a great experience of 8 months inside my mother's womb with life being really smooth and fun but somehow I could not resist being there for another one month. I was really excited to be amongst you and made the exit.

I am thankful to Appa & Mummy for the love and care they have been giving me during those 8 months and delirious for whats waiting for me.

On the 9th of May, 2009 @ 23:41 I slid out into the safe hands of Mary (mid-wife) covered in blood. Mary disconnected me from Mamma by cutting the umbilical cord, with Appa & Granny watching me with all excitement. I stretched out, the blinding light making me a bit uncomfortable. But the next moment the soft cuddle made all the discomfort vanish when Mary handed me over to Mamma for Skin-to-Skin. Mamma & I shared a great feeling and the bond between us took another dimension. I could feel how tired she was but there are no words to describe the moment & the emotion. Mary cleaned me and moments later I was dressed up like a prince charming and in the arms of Appa. I tell you, it was great!!

Next was Granny in line to wrap me up in her arms and her heart was filled with joy. Anurag Uncle, Shashvat Uncle, Nilesh Uncle, Trupti Aunty & Monali Aunty were all waiting to have a glimpse of me, fatigued after a long day. Unfortunately the hospital did not allow them into the labour ward and all they got to see were my pictures Appa had caught on the camera. Appa headed home for more clothes of mine and broke the news with Appacha & Kristene Mummy.

On10th May, 2009 by 04:00 the good news of my arrival was spread to all my relatives. Soon Appa & Granny had to leave the hospital as they were not allowed to stay with us.

Thanks once again to the Almighty God and looking for future ahead...
