Joel - My Firstborn

Not sure if a blog can be used to record dates and facts.. but I'm going to attempt to capture a few things here. Almost all are related to my son Joel. This is with the hope that one fine day, when I've grown old to remember those itsy-bitsy details which he wants to hear about, he can log in here and read all about it. Oh yeah! sure hope that Yahoo! too is still free and a lot of other things are in place for Joel. So here goes:

Birth Name: Joel Amrit

Born: 28th February, 2005 9.08 pm (IST)

Birth weight: 3.7 kgs

First time I felt his touch: Somewhere in between the anesthesia dose after the c-section surgery. Hubby dear told me that I was abusing the clinic's operation staff and my parents when i came out of the theatre. Till date I've got no clear memory of that.. What I do remember is that they were trying keep the oxygen mask on my face. And that was making my throat go dry. Didn't like the feeling at all. (Don't want anyone to go thru' that experience at all)

My First thought on seeing him: He looks like my dad

My First observation of him: He's got a lot of hair. Followed by he looks cute. I think he looks more like me than Amrith.

The hospital stay of 10 days was horrible. Not due to the service but more for the fear that someone would take Joel away from me. I really thought I'd be delivering a cute li'l baby girl. Joel was a BIG surprise. He's brought a smile to everyone's face from the moment he was born. He still does to the day of this posting.

Don't remember in detail each day of the first month. The milestones I've tried to keep in mind. Will post all of what I do remember later
