Yes, it is a bit crazy. You are probably still being cleaned up by the nurse, and yet to open your eyes. But guess what, you were born just a while ago. If my information was right (if not, blame your granddad for erroneous information), you were born today (Dec 22, 2008) at around 1:05 pm. You have single-handedly created a lot of titles that din’t exist before, that of a father, mother, granddad, grandmom, uncle (me!) and many others.
As I finished my lunch here at work, I got this exact text message on my cell phone from your granddad…
“Bhaskar is blessed with a female child”
That’s how I got to know you were born, and that you are a girl child. So guess the suspense and the wait is over now. All of the rest begins.
See you soon (with certainty this time)
Welcome! Vandhanam! Suswagadham!
Appi! Bhaskar! Congratulations for on your beautiful and healthy daughter
Little Baby, i hope you’re recovering well from ‘being born’! If you think that was the craziest trip you’ve ever been on… let me just tell you, THAT was just the beginning! Baby steps. The first few weeks will be all about recovering from this journey and building up your energy. You’ll be in and out of sleep for the most part. That’s THE life Little Baby. Sleeping when you’re sleepy, waking up when you’re not, being fed when you’re hungry, being bathed and changed when you’re dirty, being held when you’re sleepy an cranky! You’ll learn very shortly how to get your mom and dad’s attention when something just doesn’t feel right and soon enough, there will be a very mysterious and wonderful understanding between the three of you! Your parents will be able to decode the many different ways you crinkle up your face, or what the different octaves of your shrill cry mean. Like i said, MYSTERIOUS!
So sleep well, eat well and enjoy your first few weeks here
Congrats Mahesh! And congrats to your family. Enjoy, have fun revisiting your childhood!
