The Journey that led us to you!

 Dear Rudra,

Welcome to this tiny little world meant to take you through your life from my point of view. Amma is starting this blog a little too late. I had thought of this well before your arrival but never got to actually penning down my thoughts. However, a month after your joyous arrival, here I am, finally typing out what I carried in my mind and heart since the time I first found out about you.

March 13, 2022 - This date is a special one because this is when I found out about your existence. I had been feeling low and unwell for a few days and I decided to do a home test, just to be sure. And guess what! To my surprise and happiness, the tests did show as positive. I cant describe how excited and nervous I was at the same time. I remember sitting in the washroom, holding the test in my hand, with tears in my eyes. 

However, I didn't want to tell Appa till I was sure, so the very same day, I decided to get a blood test done during work and that confirmed my doubts. That evening when I shared the news with him was one of the happiest moment in our life.

From there started the journey of regular checkups, desperate waits to hear your heartbeat and see your tiny self on the ultrasound. We would literally count down to every single appointment and pray with all our might that you're a healthy little one. We loved, lived and enjoyed every moment of the pregnancy. You being the sweetheart you were didn't even put me through the things some mom's go through. The pregnancy was a breeze my good baby and thank you for that.

When found out you were a boy at the 20 weeks scan and our joy knew no bounds. We instantly knew what we wanted to call you. Ever since I started feeling your movements, I would eagerly look forward to the tiny flutters and your strong little kicks. Talking to you was our favorite thing to do.  Every evening, after work, we would sit together and talk to you, and guess what, you would respond too!

As the days went by, we couldn't wait to hold you in our arms and give you tight hugs! And when that moment finally came, i cant express in words the feeling we went through. However, lets keep that for a separate post! 

Until next time, little fellow

We love you!
