YES!
Lakshmi first cried at 10:31 AM, december 3rd.... and i missed it! still, the first glimpse of her in the baby warmer is stuck onto my retina! the pleasure that coursed through me when i first held her, and even now whenever i hold her, is just wow!!!!!
Her cry, the way she opens her eyes slowly upon waking up, the way she kicks away the sheets when bawling, man they're all sights to behold!
All of 3.6 kilos at birth, she's quite fast..... she's already trying to flip; and yes, i did receive my first kick from her today! i got my blessings from heaven, thank you God!
i had envisioned nights full of sleep once the delivery was done... alas! that's not to be....
even the faintest sound of her cry wakes me up! i think i'm going through paranoia! i keep running downstairs, only to see that she's actually quite peacefully alseep! hehe!
she's already getting me to run around! God forbid when she grows up!
All in all, i'm singing off.... eeps signing off, a happy and blessed dad!

whither art thou baby?
Whew!!!
What a wait! Right from the day the doctor told us that Vidya might deliver any time after 22/11/07...... any bloody phone call, I'm tense! Hey its Vidya calling! No, my mom.... anything the matter? Its dad! he NEVER calls on my mobile.... and he's calling? That too NOW? Oh the tension! all you expectant dads out there, how the hell did you manage all this?!
At last, the day is here..... 29/11/2007.... the first tentative date of delivery of my kid- nay, our kid. Right from the day (31/03/07, precisely) we got to know that Vidya was pregnant, its been quite a wonderful journey! Yes, the stress is there, tensions never die and things come at us more pronounced as we're quite young to be parents; however, the elation of being a dad at 24-something, is awesome! Funny: You're now the 'mature dude' of your group; what a mighty leap, I say- from being the joker until not more than a year ago!
The baby- what grandiose plans we've made for the little one.... what pressure it'll have upon its arrival! I only hope we show the maturity and solidarity required to understand the kid, its aims, and encourage it in its strengths rather than trying to make it a clone- all you moms and dads out there, I need your support, and yes,
I AM GOING TO BE A DADDY!!!!! YEAH!
