Happy 8th birthday to my Princess.. :-)
Dear Nikki, Eight years ago on this day I walked into the labour room at 7 in the morning..You seemed to be in no hurry to come out.. So they had to induce labour.. It was afternoon and you still showed no signs of coming out..Even the nurses around me were getting impatient and one of them asked me "What is this? Your baby doesn't want to come out?".. Then at 3.30 pm my water broke and after 2 hours of labour you arrived at 5.30 pm.. You were born.. Not just you, a mother too was born that day.. and for me, it was love at first sight.. You were as long as my forearm.. It felt like I was holding a doll..and for the first couple of days I just spent my time staring at you in wonder and amazement.. so many thoughts racing through my mind.. Here is this baby.. All mine.. mine to love, care, nurture and take care of.. I made you from scratch and I am wholly responsible for you.. I was filled both with awe and fear.. Awe because I couldn't believe I had given birth to...
