Drumroll Please!!

Under dimmed florescent lights, we blogged, read, text, chugged water, served cookies to the nurses, napped restlessly and cheered Tini on.


Hours in a hospital. Sometimes it was boring.  Sometimes alarming.  The staff at Washington Hospital Center showed nothing but compassion, patience and a fierce devotion to their mothers and babies to be.


Tini labored impressively but by 8:00AM a C-Section was agreed upon.

At 9:42, cord wrapped twice around his neck and head facing upward, Emil was delivered.




Welcome little elf.

    Oh the best! When my closest friend had her baby we all crowded in the waiting room, slept on the couches and altogether refused to leave until mom and baby were united. The best of the best moments. Congrats Aunties!!

    My congratulations to all, as well, and I groan in solidarity with Tini. About 21 years and two months ago my son came into the world in much the same way—a whole lot of pitocin followed by a caesarian. He turned out to be a very easy baby, despite the hard time he gave me at the outset! Best wishes to Tini and Nirmal and little Emil and his aunties!
