He's here!


He's here! (And finally I am managing some time to write this post when he is sleeping in my lap...:))
Little Cheeku made his grand entrance on November 9th 2009 at 9.53 PM. Everything's kind of a blur and I'm still coming to terms with the fact that I'm this little person's mother and he's completely dependent on me for everything, but other than that we're healthy and happy, and extremely tired. He's so tiny! Of course, during the last three weeks of my pregnancy and delivery he certainly didn't feel so small!


I really didn't think he was going to come any time soon - thought for sure he was cozy in there and I would go past my due date (the 15th). In my last post on 9th nov, I worte that I already started getting contractions and weather I could eat sambhar chawal was the pole for the day ;)

And the answer is 'NO' - I could not..:) We had our doc appointment in night and we were waiting for Deepak to return from office so that we go to doc soon. I already started feeling pains and high bp.. when we went to the doc at 8:00, and he examined me, and I told him I was having very little (almost no) baby movements since last night, he looked suspecious..my BP was going high, and was risky for baby. To add to our tensions, Cheeku still did not come into the brith head down position and was in breech..So doc decided to immidiately operate me as baby heart beats would have sink..He asked us not even to go home and to get admitted asap..I was so nervous that I started crying of fear..Soon I was in nursing home for a C-section and after having such painful and traumatic delivery experience, I gave birth to Cheeku at 9.53 PM...

If someone asks me what was the most memorable moment of my life, it was definitly when I saw my baby for the first time..nobody has seen him like that..he just came out of my tummy and our connecting cord was even not cut yet, when doc showed him to me..he was so covered with blood and other things, and even remembering the moment make me thrilled..It was looking like a miracle to me that he was here...I was feeling so proud to make the most beautiful baby on earth :)


Cheeku's body stats at the time of birth:
Weight: 2.8 kg.
Hight: 19 inches
Date: 9-November-2009 (A Scorpio child)
Time: 9:53 PM
I remember his first cry.. he was such a little baby and cried like a champ, which just made me cry harder..
