I don’t believe this – the last time around when I managed to post something on my blog was December 28th 2009. Dec 2009 – when I was 7 months pregnant. Those were days when I used to count every passing day, thanking god at the end of it for taking care of my family and my unborn child. And then came the day when our lil angel came into our world. 13th Feburary was like a dream, all that I had asked for ever since we had started planning for our second baby was answered. I had a normal delivery even though my earlier delivery was a C section, the normal delivery was absolutely painless thanks to the wonderful doctors and whoever invented epidural, the hospital where I delivered was amazing and above all this – we were gifted with a healthy baby girl! A baby girl?? It was like a dream come true. After all the “oh its surely a boy – look at ur tummy” “ oh it’s a boy – look at the way you walk” “oh it’s a boy – look at the way you look” – when the doc said that it was a baby girl ..Vineet and I did nothing but weep with joy! Aryav couldn’t stop smiling that entire day – and why not ..he was the only one who always told me “mumma it is Aarna – my baby sister” whenever he touched my tummy in the past few months ! I am sure god made the last minute decision change just keeping Aryav in mind ! As I was being reeled out of the labor room – I kept repeating the words in my mind “mother of two” “my daughter” “ my kids” etc and it felt wonderful.

 Of course life has sort of reset to what it was 4 years back. Again to the world of diapers, round the clock feeding, erratic sleeping patterns and fretting and sweating over all the gained preg weight ..but it is all so so worth it. One look at both kids holding their hands and having meaningless conversations and you know it is worth it. One look at Aarna giving you that completely innocent and BIG smile – and you know it’s completely worth it. One look at Aryav running to her as soon as he returns from school and Aarna squealing in joy and you know its completely worth it. Mother of two – I hardly get time to blog, to sleep, to take care of myself but I am luving every bit of it.

 BTW a quick note : If you ever want to see what ‘purity’ is – simply look into an infant’s eyes, look at their smile and the love they express. I am sure nothing comes closer to purity than that – and I really really mean it.
