A child is born
Finally after all the years of waiting..I am an uncle now. My sister delivered a baby boy on Friday night and I was just overjoyed. Well a bit dissapointed as I was rooting for a girl. I aldready have a male godchild and as I had already been voted as the God parent for the baby I was hoping I would have a niece.
I have been waiting for the last 7 years to get the news and when my mom called on Friday it was almost as if God had made up for the last weekend with just that one piece of news.
People might think this guy is crazy, its not like its his baby, yeah but still I am very excited, I started planning what kind of stuff I would take down as gifts and in 2 minutes time I realised it was all futile. I had absolutely no clue about "what a baby wants, what a baby needs." and so I had to call up another friend of mine and ask for her advice.
Gender inequality, equality, all take into consideration the point was proved once again that women know more about this stuff then men do. I'm just hoping now that I can make it to Bombay in time for the Christening. A bit disheartening that I will have to wait an entire month before I can see my nephew.
My dad and I had a bet as to when the baby would be born. See my family is all about dates. My sis and Dad celebrate their bdays on the same day. I am born on a day after my mom and dads anniversary . My dads godchild is born on his anniversary.
My dad was betting on the fact that since his daughter was born on his 30th bday, his granddaughter would be born on his 30th wedding anniversary. And, I was betting on the fact that since his godchild was born on hi bday mine would be on my bday. Well the baby was smart enough to get a day for celebration all by itself missed my bday by just 2 days. I of all people should know what it means to share the party with another person.
Would have loved to post his snap. Well I think I will as soon as they name the baby.
What joys a child can bring to this world.
