New parents

I was all of 25, newly married, and adjusting and loving my new life with my young and equally inexperienced husband.  This was in the month of February.  We both were really happy to share our life with each other when in 2 months we came to know that soon we were ready to be joined by a third member!  We both were ecstatic and again in such a short span began our another new journey from being spouse to parent!

People would discourage me by saying that I was having the baby a tad too early and that me and my husband wouldn't enjoy our life freely any more!  Living nuclear, we both were each other's support and shared some of the happiest moments of our life, looking forward to having our baby in our arms, shedding tears of joy on hearing the baby's heartbeat on the Doppler, getting all excited and emotional looking at the sonography reports, talking to him, feeling him move up and down in my tummy, watching him grow each day.

I had been to my parents' place for delivery and my husband was in his workplace.  We would talk, laugh, cry, get anxious, miss each other.  Finally, the D-day arrived and due to my high blood pressure issues I had to be operated upon 15 days before the due date.  Eight days before the end of the year on December 23rd our bundle of joy, our son, arrived.  The happiness and joy that we experienced, obviously, cannot be expressed in words.

In the same year, me and my husband became a couple as well as parents.  I will always cherish that year.  We were pretty young, inexperienced, I was scared though my husband very confident that we will make good parents, and from there our journey of parenting began....
