Joshna is Born

30^th of April 2010, I started my trip to Ooty, Time for our second baby’s arrival has come close. As per our Doc’s suggestion after the final Scan on 29t April, I planned for a 2 week leave.

Day 1, 4^th of May we went for a checkup and Doc suggested Merlin gets admitted the same day. However, we got her admitted only the next day.

Since this was planned to be an induced labor, I got the opportunity to be with Merlin during this delivery, which I missed during Jessica’s Birth. Jessica is 2 years now, very playful; always exploring and we had told her someone new is going to join our family soon. Everyone exited, 4^th of May the first dose of medicine was induced, we waited the whole day and had to end the day with nothing happening on the day.

Day 2, 5^th of May, the second dosage was induced, Now, Merlin got the pain by 1:30 pm and was immediately rushed to the Labor room. Me and my Mom In Law, waited outside for the new bundle of joy (#include Jessica, who was outside with us, not understanding anything happening, happily playing and running around)

Since I was not there when Jessica was born, I never really understood the pain a woman undergoes during delivery. Though Merlin used to say about Jessica, never really understood, except I knew it must be very painful.

2:45 pm, My Mom-In-Law said “Can you hear that? That’s Sheeba!”. I was playing with Jessica engaging her, stopped the play and listened; I could hear Merlin screaming out of pain. Even as I write this I remember that day, My heart is beating fast like I am running for life. The same thing happened then, My heart started beating fast, I felt something blocking inside my chest, butterfly effect…. I couldn’t play anymore with Jessica, I lifted her and stood outside the door not knowing what would happen next. Every five minutes or so the scream continued and became louder, I could feel the struggle Merlin was undergoing.

There I was still standing, I didn’t cry but deep within me I was also feeling the pain, Started praying “Lord, Bring her back safe!!!”

3:30 pm I could hear the cries of a newborn child… I new our next child was born, said ‘Thank you Lord’. I was happy Merlin was fine; I could hear her talking with the doc in a couple of minutes…

The next 30 minutes were moving like a bullock cart… slow till Dr. Kousalya came out… 30 looooooong minutes… She handed over the little bundle of Joy to my Mom In Law. Our 2^nd princess ‘Joshna was born’ – 3:30 pm , the Fifth of May, 3.75 kgs. Should I say how happy I was.. She was very beautiful Just like Jessica… with a little serious look… She looked like an angel.. Actually there are no words to describe the Joy once I took her in my hand… You have to go thru this experience to feel what I have described… The Joy of blessed Marriage.
