Time to rejoice! The Chandra Sekhar girls finally have a new bud on our family tree! Anandini (aka Choti, since she's the smallest) has a little Chotu of her own now. Ohm and Nunni, I am so happy for you both and for your growing family. Vishwa Chandra Srinivasan (huge name for a little guy) popped out around 9:20 am EST Thursday morning the 20th, at a whopping 8 lbs! Where were you hiding him Nunni? You weren't that big.... Anyway, I did get through to the grannies and Supergranny (Ammsy gets that honourable title as an 80-something great granny) and they were happily chatting away until Chotu started wailing and then forget who's on the phone, we were all quiet and amazed by the teeny voice in the background. Chotu reminds me so much of Choti, when she was a baby. She was small, pink and had these gorgeous eyes and expressive eyebrows, even for a baby. This is a special spring gift for us.

 

And tomorrow is Jah's bday. I remember when Jah and Nunni each came home as newborns. I held each of them in total awe. Couldn't believe how tiny their fingers and toes were. Jah grew up to have a feisty but funny personality. Nunni was quiet but sweet, and seemed very shy, but would show her boldness every now and then. I guess its interesting looking back at them, and at myself... and observing how we have grown.  I wish that Vishwa will be that blessing that will bring us all close again. Dabby has been watching over us for a long time now. He's celebrating now. I'm celebrating... Yay! I'm a Periamma (Badima, or Big Momma) now for the cutest little guy.

I can't wait to meet the Superchotu. Lots of love to Ohm, Choti and Boy.

 

Vidya Akka, I mean, Periamma. :)
