Announcing Eshvarhen!

Dearest Eshvarhen,


Welcome to the family. We're delighted with your addition, and I just can't wait to see the day when you grow old enough to pick a fight with Sakkti Velan. It'll be the happiest day of my fatherhood.


Well, son, you were born on the 19th of September at exactly 11.37 p.m. in the night at the same hospital in which your Amma, Sakkti Velan and I were born in. Your Amma was really hoping you'll be born on this date, and I guess, just like your brother, you heard her prayers.


Your Amma's labour lasted only for four hours, and then you were born. I guess when we compare that to the 24 hours labour she had with Sakkti Velan....well, I guess she must have been glad.

Okay, so you were born 3.2kg, and 52 cm. That means you're longer than your brother, but only time will tell if you will grow up to be taller. You did not have jaundice, whihc was a hge relief, because were we sad with the thought that you might have to spend a day or two in the hospital all alone.

When we brought you home on the 21st, Sakkti Velan was a little shocked to see you....but nevertheless, he played the role of an Annai and quickly gave you one of the two baby dolls he was holding in his hand. You were of course fast asleep, but at that moment, my heart was filled with so much pride for my brood, I thought it would burst!


Well, Eshvarhen.....I've made this little introduction for you, and I hope you like it, son.

Welcome again, and thank you for completing me further with your presence in our lives. I think your Amma shares my exact views, and I'm sure, so does Sakkti Velan.


Love and hugs,
Appa
