Dear
Shaya Baby,
We were very happy when I was blessed
with you in my womb. Since then, I felt a lot more responsible and started
taking good care of myself which I never did before. I didn’t feel lonely anymore
as you kept me company 24x7! Though u were inside me, I used to miss you and then, I used to rub my palm on
my stomach, where u resided peacefully, with so much affection and love that I
didn’t know I was ever capable of feeling. I used to keep my hands upon your
residence, whenever I was in a crowded place, as if I was protecting you from
any harm though u used to be fast asleep, safe and sound. I used to wish you
good morning, the first thing I do when I wake up and bid u good night, the
last thing I do before I hit my pillows. Well, I never forgot to have a small
chit-chat with you before going to sleep.
The first trimester was a little difficult when you
were growing slowly and my second trimester was the best since I started
feeling your movements. You used to kick now & then and made me to stop
whatever I was doing as such and I used to enjoy your movements, with my palm
over you. Your dad used to wait patiently to feel your movements and at last,
one day u kicked his palm. You should have seen his face. He had a million
dollar smile plastered all over his face. In the last trimester, you started
becoming very naughty, kicking, punching and rolling from one side to another
& vice versa, all the time. You, being very smart, used to respond to my
voice by kicking and rolling on later stages. At that time, I realized how
amazing the bond between u and me was.
In the last few
days, I started feeling heavy and balancing you in me became a challenging
task. I knew that my womb was the only safest place on this earth. Despite all
these, I used to have a big smile on my face and I couldn’t wait to hold you
and cherish you.
Finally, our biggest and longest dream of 10 months
was about to come true. Yes… the most awaited day came. I got admitted to the
hospital. Though I was frightened, my love for you made me feel all the way
more excited and thrilled. Yes! In few hours, I will be holding you in my arms.
I went into the labor room and after a few hours of struggle, you came out of
me and entered into this beautiful world. Your first cry made me feel like I
was in heaven. Only a few moments passed by but it felt like eternity, as I
waiting impatiently to see you. At last, the doctor showed you. You were
wrapped tight in a blanket and you looked at me with those innocent dove like
eyes. That moment was the best moment of my life and words would not be even
sufficient to express how in bliss I was. That moment has been itched in my
memory and it will stay as fresh as it were forever. Though I was in bliss, I
felt a little sad that I will have to share you now to others and you are no
longer completely mine. Hey! You cannot blame me. I enjoyed having u inside me
like I never did before. Only God knows how much!
It was like yesterday that you were born. But it’s
already been a year! And I enjoyed every single moment I had spent with you. We are
eagerly waiting to see you go through your upcoming phases of life. And baby,
you are not alone in this. We promise you that we will stay supporting, loving
and caring you in every possible way. So be brave, confident and good hearted.
We wish you all healthiness, happiness and success in your beautiful life.
I have fallen irrevocably in love with you and it is
immeasurably profound!!!
Happieee happieee first birthday Shaya Baby!
With
all of my heart,
Nissha
aka Ur mom!
