Your first night in this world

According to your birth certificate, you were born at 8:15PM, 30th December, 2018 via c-section delivery. I don't know whether it was exactly 8:15PM or doctor just rounded that off. Whatever, I was eagerly waiting outside of the Operation Theatre since your mom was taken there. I keep hearing the sound of infant crying for long, but it was around 8:45PM when the nurse came out of the OT, give you at my hand. That was amazing, simply amazing. Looked at your beautiful round eyes (yes, your eyes were round then), recited the Adhan at your ear. Then handed you to my mom, your grandmother.

Anyway, after all the relative present there seen you, nurses took you back from us, saying that child specialist need to check you first before handing over. As that was the election day, there was no transportation allowed. So, the child specialist was late to come and finally we take you at the cabin.

Just to mention, the child specialist was a nice person, and in the coming days she was your physician. She prepared your first two dresses by cutting cotton clothes so that you don't get cold. One advice she gave was to avoid formula milk as long as we can. But when it seems to me that you are crying for food, I managed formula milk instantly.

The first night you passed with me and your paternal and maternal grandmother. I've so many tensions regarding you, whether everything is okay, whether you are facing any troubles etc etc. I believe you can only feel these emotions when you will become a father for the first time.

Your Father
