I am happy

We are off to a good start in 2007.Sahana is doing well,still trying to set some routines for her night time sleep.Cant believe Vinay starts school this year!!Time is churning so faast..as someone said "after 30 with a family it is all downhill"..that is for the time..But as for the mood I am HAPPY..maybe contented too..

The weeks from Jan 19th-Jan 31st was "awesome and blissful"..what say Nags?.In the midst of all this,my Mom had her first heart-attack.If only my family had known the symptoms we could have rushed her to the hospital and prevented several complications.She is recovering at home and needs 24/7 care.We owe a lot to my Sister-in-law(lakshmi) who is taking care of her in chennai along with 2 school going kids.

Life itself,not 2 sound philosophical(but cant help it!!), has so much twists.Never there is a dull moment.We can only take it as it comes.Vidya and myself need to take care of our health more than anything.

Love all(especially Vinay for his maturity in understanding us parents)

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!!
