Our daughter Anisha Nandigama was born at 8:45 AM today. She is perfect in every way. Thanks to everyone who gave us so much love and support ! My sincere thanks to all my blog readers.
Throughout this crazy infertility journey and during this pregnancy, I felt the presence of God Almighty in the form of many of kind-hearted souls. Everyone was so kind, compassionate and understanding. I am grateful for everything.
Sorry, if I haven't replied to any your messages and I hope you understand that it was very stressful ! I will continue to keep this blog as educative as possible; it will always be a blog which talks about the scientific and emotional aspects of infertility. I hope now my blog also gives inspiration to many women who suffer from infertility. I dedicate this post to everyone who are putting a brave fight against it, I am sending lots of baby dust your way. Catch it please :) I am sure it will work.
The first person I would thank is my husband. Without him nothing would have been possible, I can never equal his good nature anytime. My child has the best dad in this world.
Thanks to Dr. Sai for playing the role of Brahma by putting together the best sperm and egg ! If he has selected a different sperm to inject into my particular egg, Anisha wouldn't be here. Dr. Sai, you must be very proud of your job.
My sincere thanks to Dr. Anjali Malpani for making our dream come true. I believe her extreme talent is what has made all the difference.
Last but not the least, my Dr (Dr. Aniruddha Malpani) has made a huge positive difference in my life. All that I feel proud of in my life is his gift to me - from my blog to my child. He made me the person whom I am now - from unhappy, bitter infertile to a very happy, confident woman who is filled with love and happiness. Dr, your presence wiped all my life's biggest fears and gave me the strength to follow my dream, thank you so much ( Is just a thanks enough?)
Little more information for now - it is a vaginal delivery, she weighed 3.08 kgs, I thought I wouldn't survive the delivery ! She is doing well, latched immediately. Will post some pictures very soon. Please, please leave your good wishes, that is what I value the most.
I will post my labor story as early as possible :)
Love,
Manju
