Ram is one today

My son is one year today! I am on a flashback mode and cant help but think of life a year ago. Varsha, my older child, was just two and i think she was amazing for a two year dealing with my pregnancy and especially my labour.
I went for my routine check and ended up getting admitted for an induced labour coz my son was kind of big even 10 days before expected due date. Even though it was my second baby, I was caught off guard when the doc said that I should get admitted right away. I had the most perfect pregnancy and perfect labour the first time around. My expectations were based on that experience and I only imagined myself going into labour and walking into the hospital minutes before the baby came out. I never thought I would have to be induced!!! It took me a while to beleive that my baby would be in my arms by the end of the day, when the doc suggested the induced labour option.

It was motherly pangs that was the other factor for such hesitation. Varsha is a very reasonable child. She would always be convinced if I would reason with her. But on this day I had only told her I was going for a check up but had no clue I would be leaving her without any prior warning that she would have to be for a full 24 hrs before I could be by her side. She stayed with my mom and did amazingly well.Infact she joined her grandmother in her prayers for a safe delivery( of course she just repeated prayers that my mother recited.) Even when she came to see me that evening she was a bundle of joy full of energy and enthusiasm spilling out of every cell in her! She was so happy to see her little brother and continues to be very happy about him till date and pray it continues for life.

Ram has been growing so beautifully right in front of our eyes. A joy, an energy bundle that takes the best and most out of you! I am so grateful to god for the two beautiful jewels in our lives. I love every moment (except for the dreadful nights when he troubles with his fussy sleep pattern!!) or maybe I would include them if I were writing this piece several years from now..when i would miss their babyhood!!!

I look forward all beautiful moments that they will fill in our lives.
