Day of Delivery!

Morning of September 12 near Ottawa

-WISHES DO COME TRUE! Ever since I saw the movie 'JUNIOR' when I was a kid, considering my paralyzing fear of needles and doctors, I had wished and hoped and prayed that by the time it was time for me to have a child, science would have figured out a way that my husband would be able to carry and deliver our child. And looks like the universe heard my wish... For today... My husband is carrying and going to deliver our child! Never stop dreaming, eh!? Its Delivery Day and mama is going to be waiting impatiently outside the exit doors! — feeling ecstatic with Deepak Arora.

 

Evening: September 12 near Ottawa

-I am the happiest person on the planet today! After an event filled day, flight delays, scary 0 visibility thunder and rainstorms, Ayaan landed on Canadian soil, delivered safely into his Mama's arms by his wonderful papa Deepak. I cannot express how touched I am and always will be grateful that Samara Rose-Nadeau, Rick and the kids were also present with us on this never-to-be-forgotten-occasion, the family-members from both sides: Vinay, Deepak's brother who couldn't wait to meet his chick magnet and Ayaan's Nani Bhoal Channi (my mom). Indescribable joy, tears, extreme happiness... the people at the airport were def wondering who the celebrity was that so many camera/videos were clicking away, but many came to wish us well, which was so sweet. The first snack Ayaan had in Canada were the delicious cookies Samara baked at home esp for us (she knows the tradition of having sweets on a happy occasion as per Indian custom, so this special touch was so sweet! Thanks Samara!) Maksim taught Ayaan how to Hi-Five and Ayaan loved the balloons Ana got! Loads to write, loads to express, but for now... here are 2 pics on my profile and cover to give you an idea of how things went. Oh yes, and Ayaan LOVES Nikki and thinks he is a hilarious creature! Nikki... well, not so much... We got scolded throughout the evening by Nikki and his barks. Ah well. They'll get used to each other. Thank you for all your calls, emails, messages and so much more. Time to call this beautiful day a night. Good night. Will wake up to my first diaper change (cajoled Dee into doing just 1 more for tonight lest I faint.) — feeling wonderful.
