I remember how everyone used to say ..that becoming a 'mother' is the greatest moment of joy and that it cannot be explained in words ..and today i exactly understood what that meant ...Yes I am proud mother today ..Rishi arrived ... at 10:47 PM . He didnt trouble me at all.
Here is what happenned today...
I was my usual self .. woke up at 6 AM , took bath , cooked ,packed food for Raja everything was the usual until around 1 PM ... I was unduely tired and I told Mom that I wanted to take a nap as I was feeling very tired, surprisingly i didn't go to the bedroom , I lay down in the drawing room, so that Mom was around...Suddenly I felt a trickle ..And yes !!! - signs that he was coming ..I immediately called Chitti and she asked me to call my doctor. I called my doctor and she asked me to go straight to the hospital as they were nothing but labour signs...
But I felt no pain. I calmly called Raja and told him to leave work and get to me . He was very tensed . I think the drive was very tough for him . It took him more than an hour to get to me .And he kept calling me every five minutes during his drive. Meanwhile I had reached the hospital and got into the labour room everything was set..Still had no pain ...
Raja arrived ..I was very much conscious ..when he came...
I wasnt getting my contractions and they decided to induce it..Yes it all began then .....!!!! I had a lovely nurse by my side .. Lori was her name. I have never seen someone as patient as her ..She was very composed and spoke positive. I had Chitti on my right ..It was a big strength to me that I had her next to me .And offcourse Raja on my left,a huge boost and Mom waited sitting there praying to God...
I kept working ...to get him out safe and sound ... My doctor arrived, "Ka moo Ka soo Ka du" he he.. she told us that only two people could accompany in the labour room, so with a heavy heart we asked Amma to wait outside.
Then after a while she announced ..Guys "BABY TIME and there he was in no time on my chest ..The first thing i could hear people say .."HE LOOKS SO MUCH LIKE DHEEPA ..."LOTS OF HAIR" , and I could see Chitti in tears ...so were Raja and me --- all of us were very emotional...
The nurse then cleaned him up and brought him to me ..He wasnt crying at all..not a whimp..I thought I had a miracle ...A baby that does not cry ...Little did i know he was reserving all of it for the future ..Ha ha...
I called Dad and then Patti they all errupted in Joy...!!!!!
A day that we will cherish all our lives.. ...it is indeed a feeling to nuture ..A feeling which cannot be explained ...
Thank you God !!!!
