Holidays 2006

I have resigned from Ingenix.After 4.5 yrs with a company makes your friends almost an extended family and this was a difficult choice for me.The new job(unilever) is close to home and this will give me more time with Sahana(2nd kid).The folks at Ingenix were awesome and I miss them a lot.I am moving forward with my career but with change in direction.I will keep in touch with the junta.

Hopefully the holidays will keep me in an up-mood..My in-laws are leaving too and we are shit scared of how we will handle a household on a daily basis..Vidya is pretty cool under pressure and I am leaning on her to take charge and let me mop for a few more days.

Change is constant!

2nd Baby adventure

Whew!!We gave birth to a beautiful girl baby,sahana on July 19th,2006.Well..it was my WIFE who gave birth BUT I did assist her a lot!When my wife was pregnant we talked about how unprepared we were for the first one and so we got everything ready the second time..Freshly painted room,crib,bassinet(on loan from a friend),clothes(since we knew beforehand that its going to be a girl),car seat(for my son I bought it AFTER he was born and the nurse told me to get one!!!),bottle warmer,nail clippers,wash cloths,burp cloths,receiving blankets..you know.. the works.
We were fully prepared.Hmm..Or so we Thought!!
Sahana was delivered on a wednesday afternoon at the Doctors office!!Stop..did I say Dr's Office..YES I DID!!!
Man that takes all certainity and preparedness out of life.
Without getting into all the details(contractions for 6 hrs,No sedations for my wife,10 minute birth,our first ambulance ride) all I can say is we are DAMN lucky!!

So there it is an adventure every time!!
Maybe for the next one we will be fully prepared!!..maybe not..But hey..I will take what comes!!!
Ciao.
PS:My wife's friend gave birth to their 2nd baby at home.The cops who came there first delivered the baby!!
