Kashti....MY baby...

Finally...finally..after all this wait last Sunday, I became a very very proud father of Kashti. Frankly I was numb when she was born and the nurse and the baby crew showed her to me..I was like..I dont know what to say or react...then they took her to nursery and and standing at the window of the nursery watching her being checked by the nurse...sent in thoughts into me....I was like "She is MY daughter"...everybody was praising her silky air and her eyes and how gorgeous she was...but for me it was just..she is our daughter. Kruti and I had waited so much for thsi day...

Kashti Kashyap Shah....when I wrote that for the first time on a form my hands wereshivering ..I was checking again and again the name..it looked so different...so new...a dream come true.

These were the stats when she was born:

We brought Kashti and Kruti home from the hospital on 12/31/08..the new year's eve and the new year is really going to be extra special for us. I can't wait to play with her....take her to different places...treat her like a princess and give her the best in everything....God bless her and thank GOD for giving this angel to us.
