from the do bacchon ki ma!



Time to make an official announcement on the blog. Albeit a bit late! Apologies for that!


So l'il Cubby now has a l'il Sister! Yup! 2B is a girl!!!! And M and me proud parents of a daughter!


She came into our lives crying and kicking on 12th! :)


It was a planned c-sec and things went off as smooth as they can. I got admitted the previous night at around 830 and after completing the formalities, all of us went to have ice cream at Corner House. We got back to the hospital at around 11, to be scolded by the anesthetist for doing the disappearing act. He was an old man and i just grinned a silly grin and said i wanted to have dessert! ;)


Got cut up the next day and doc announced "You have a daughter!". Somehow we were so sure that it would be a boy, that I was super zapped! So was M! :) The doc had let me keep my glasses on saying "How the heck will you see the baby?!"


Cub who somehow was always sure it was a girl was being super cute and helpful. he LOVED hospital visits as much for 2B as he did for Bourbon biscuits that were there in the room! ;)


Got discharged on 15th and came back to a gorgeously decorated home. My mom had totally outdone herself! There were flowers, streamers, balloons and the works! Cub had been an enthusiastic helper apparently.


Its been 12 days now and 2B seems to be changing every day. Right now I am trying to excel at my bovine duties and she her kumbhakarna duties. Mom-dad being around is a HUGE support obviously and things seem to be falling into place!


There is a lot more I want to share. Cub's reactions, our experience the second time round and all that jazz. I guess that will just have to wait for another post. I had thought of coming up with something incredibly nice even to make an announcement, but right now my brain is functioning only as much! :)


So that its from this household for now. More later! Hopefully soon enough!


Meanwhile thank you so much for all your prayers and good wishes! We are all indeed blessed!
