2007....

My son was born on August 2nd, precisely at 2.26 P.M....well, he chose to arrive earlier than the scheduled date of August 15, 2007..Infact, I went to office till August 1st...So, 'bout my son..
Well, woke up at 5.00 in the morning..cramps? contractions? Wasn't sure...got a bit nervous but chose not to wake up hubby...then, whats happening????? Contractions...am sure now, so wake up Amit...labour has started..

kuch nahi hai yaar, abhi time hai (He looked more nervous that I was)..
Nahi, call Dr. Soni...
Theek hai yaar...but abhi cheh baje hain..

Ok...Dr. Soni, This is Amit....Aradhana is having some contractions..
Get her admitted in casualty..
Amit and parents are nervous now..
I am cool...Will go and take a bath now, will also have a glass of horlicks..

8'O clock...on our way to the hospital..arre ruko yaar, ek minute Mandir chalenge...went to the temple to seek the blessings of Bhagwan ji (man hi man, please Bhagwan, sab theek karna)..

9'O clock...immense pain..but theek hai, koshish kar rahe hain ladne ki dard se..

And there you are, our little bundle of joy...you cried and then opened your eyes..big big eyes..You Naana, Naani and Amol are there to see you, they have been there since the morning..

I have become a mother....amazing but overwhelming..
