The Firsts...

I was the First to kiss Mummu...


but I wasnt the First one to hold her...Su was and then mum and then couple of my friends and then my bro...and then the nurses...



and ya the first time she really really shrieked and let out her hunger cries I was the first one to reach out to her...



The first hour after her birth was amazing...cos I still didn't have my first proper look of my lil baby...and I kept wondering to myself "who does she look like??"




The first time I held her...its only then I realised what the phrase "Missed a heart-beat meant"...

Luckily, I wasn't the first one to clean her poooh :) but ya I was the first one she peeeeedddddddd on and I know now so very well what "It feels so warm" meant...

The very first time she decided to smile...I recorded that...and I knew what "Twinkle in the eye" meant

The very first time I and Su decided to wake mummu up (instead of letting her sleep all through the morning) she gave us both a beautiful smile and then opened her eyes...and I knew what "A beautiful Smile" meant

The first time mummu decided to eat the oranges on her own...and I knew "Life would never be the same" meant

and the very first time she hugged me back and I knew what "Life feels so C.O.M.P.L.E.T.E" meant

I remember...

I remember...it was a beautiful September morning...

I remember...it was Bright...Sunny...

I remember...mum had made lovely breakfast...

I remember...I was wearing my lovely black short kurti and white salvar

I remember...trying for the umpteenth time to fit into one of my beautiful sandals...& then deciding on to wear one of my not so happening sandals...

I remember...my mum applied holy oil on my forehead and blessed me(like I was heading on to some battlefield)

I remember...Su insisting that we could take the lift to our way down instead of climbing down 6 floors...

I remember...Su driving me to the hospital...

I remember...I was cribbing cos we didnot get a parking place very close to the hospital

I remember...I walked and stopped and walked and stopped...

bbbbbbbbbbbbrrrrrrreatttthhhhhhhhhhhhhhlesssssssssssssssssssss

I remember...Su was making fun of the way I walked...

I remember...the nurse doing a routine check-up

I remember...the doctor announcing to Su that I wouldn't be able to go to office cos "The Day has arrived"

I remember...I was shocked...this can't happen today...I haven't worked it in my head...

and then there was this slight pang of PAIN....

I REMEMBER...SU TELLING MY FRIENDS THAT 'THE DAY' HAS ARRIVED...AND THEY SOUNDED SO EXCITED....


I REMEMBER...WAITING ALL BY MYSELF IN THE HOSPITAL...WHILE SU WENT TO FETCH MUM...

was that another pang of PAIN???

I REMEMBER...NURSES DISCUSSING VEGETABLE OVER MY HEAD...AND DOCTOR TRYING TO GET EVERYONE TO WORK WITH HER...INCLUDING ME...(CAN'T, WELL RATHER SHOULDN'T GET INTO THE DETAILS...)

was that another pang of PAIN???

was that another pang of PAIN???

was that another pang of PAIN???

was that another pang of PAIN???

and then all I remember...is this tiny baby
and then all I remember is this tiny lil baby being weighed
and then all I remember is this baby cried for about 2 minutes and got distracted by tube lights
and then I remember…the baby being wrapped…
and then I remember…thinking to myself…Somebody tell me if I have a boy or a gal……………&&&&&&&&&&&&& the doctor announcing to me
“You have a baby Gggggggggguuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrllllllllllllllllllllll”
