Welcome to the wonderful parenthood of the first two weeks. Luckily, I got a few naps at night.

Me and my wife both work in the corporate world, and we are from India. The wait is over; my daughter, my little miracle, has arrived.

The first time we held her close and felt her heartbeat against our chests, not to forget the first diaper change and the first feeding, the clock ticked away the hours, but time seemed to stretch and fold, as if the universe had slowed down just for us.

I learned what patience is on this journey. There are no words to express feelings when a little kid gives expression. Sometimes she smiles, sometimes she cries. It is awesome to observe all the little movements.
