Aayushi - May 2010

The princess has arrived and we have attained parenthood.
Rimi got her pain around midnight and baba checked her contractions. Baba asked to contact hospital and we landed there around 12am. The labor pain gradually increased and we asked for epidural but unfortunately the anesthetist was busy in theatre and we had to wait. The wait continued until 4am when the midwife said that the anesthetist was available. Got the anesthesia around 5am! After sometime the labor pain reduced and the next thing was to wait for the baby to come out.
After some blood test the delivery time was fixed around 8am. Rimi tried hard to push the baby out but was not successful. The mid-wife commented that it could be boy and thats why it is creating so much of trouble. The doctor sensing that time is running opted for forceps delivery. I was in the delivery room for the whole time but I was troubled with forceps and other stuffs and I decided to come out of the delivery suite. Baba was with Rimi. At 7.47am the doctor Ermy Kuponiyi delivered the baby and it was a GIRL. I think I was the only one expecting a baby girl. The bundle of joy appeared tiny and so vulnerable. I was so emotional.

We bought Meethi's pram/travel system today. For the first time after her birth, we all, ma baba, and us went out in the evening for a walk with the pram. The weather was very nice, temperature was around 20 deg cel with azure sky.

Meethi went with us to Castlepoint. We got the Rocker for my baby and she slept a lot in it. However, she is still to become friendly with her cot. Most of the time she is sleeping with us in the bed.
