To my baby ...


From the moment you came , my life changed forever. When I first heard your beating heart , my own heart skipped a couple beats .... It was the most amazing sound in the world ... I realized there was another life in me and I was not the regular human anymore as I have always known myself to be ...

I was a new person .... Or maybe it was just you ...

Hitherto unknown feelings overwhelmed me... the colours of autumn were embracing me with a beautiful promise of life .... seasons were changing courses just to make me smile .... oh , and did i tell you, we had a white christmas here in Texas, probably giving in to my longing for some white miracle ..... :)


There came the day when we saw you the first time, and after that every day was a countdown till I got to see you again ... I missed you all the days in between , imagined how you must be feeling , dreamt about you ... 

And then really soon you replied back to me... I felt you move ... I am sure you are pretty strong , or maybe I was just too much in tune with you  ... I could say it was you and after that I eagerly kept looking forward to the next time :) . Each of your move , every touch brings a smile on my lips . I have probably looked like a moron smiling all by myself all these days, but like always, I didn't care ;)!

You have been my most delicious secret, unknown to the whole world , just mine to feel :)... Slowly you got stronger and we could feel you kick and move and hiccup.... I talked and sang to you and you started responding back to me ... Those have probably been my most precious moments (although every moment seemed more amazing than the other !! ) .

Sleepyhead that you are , at times you would just doze off for a long time and I would need to wake you up .... We would talk and sing again with each other ... And at night you would be so full of energy that Baba would have to pat you back to sleep. 

One night, in my dreams, you revealed the blue - pink mystery .... 4 days before the doctor let us know :) !!!

You have surprised me with pleasures and have been a witness to all my silent moments ... You have seen me smile, laugh and cry with some unknown, unconfined and uncontrolled happiness .... You have been the best baby ever , and I know you will fight your way out of all obstacles !

Now that the time has come for me to let you go, I am looking around to buy some more time for us .... I still don't feel I am ready to share you with the world , want you to be just mine for a little while more .... Keep you warm and safe in me ....

But I know you are ready and its time you came out of my imaginations... and into my arms :) ...
