I am a father

It’s a SHE!!!


Yes, finally the suspense is over!! Today is undoubtedly the happiest day of my life. Aby gave birth to a baby girl this afternoon (14th July 2008). She looked so tiny and was so damn cute! To me, she is the cutest baby I have seen. She is so tiny but looks absolutely cute! I can't explain that feeling when I heard our baby is crying for the first time.

The experience of bringing a new life to this world is unexplainable. You are over the moon and beyond the stars. When you hear your baby cry for the first time is a moment that you will never forget. It made me go numb and I almost cried. I can’t believe that I am a father! I have been looking forward to this day with anticipation, but I never knew I was going to be this exited! Suddenly, the whole paradigm of my life has changed. My priorities have changed upside down and now everything will revolve around this tiny little angel!

Ever since the time our gynecologist told us that she is going to bring the baby out, I was on pins. I was so excited that I could not control myself! I was so impatient; I was counting the minutes to seeing the baby! And so was Aby, she was both excited and nervous!

Our baby is start breathing today because of the brilliance of Allah, and I don’t have enough words to thank him. I need to thank Dr. Zareena Khalid, who was our gynecologist. She guided us through complications and made all the right decisions along the way. And she is the best in the field. At Lakshmi Hospital, environment was excellent. I never saw that continuous smiling face, kindness, caring hands of nurses and all the other staff at Lakshmi Hospital. We always felt that we are in a maternity hospital and both the baby and the mother are in safe hands. I think Lakshmi Hospital is the best maternity hospital.
