The Baby arrives


What a day it has been!! My younger brother Anand ( ten years my junior) 's wife gave birth to a beautiful baby girl late last night around 9.45pm...she is about 3.95 Kgs quite fair by indian standards and very beautiful--jet black hair and pink fingers and toes..We were so excited when the telephone rang and my brother informed us of the birth..we dressed hurriedly and left merrily and the little wonder was a bundle of joy to perceive. My brother held her so close and bonded so beautifully that when the nurses came to take her for her BCG shots, he wouldn't let go and said he would get her himself.The young nurses giggled and smiled warmly . It so good for fathers to bond to their children..it has to happen earlier itself. I was reminded of how good Our God is in how wonderfully we are made..thank God we are His workmanship . There is nothing like the wonder of a newborn..

so happy Janet for Anand, Ruth and all of you. Anand is a Daddy, can 't believe. When i first met him about 23 years ago he was studying in school. How time passes.
