Umbilical Cord -> Out, Belly Button <- In

Ria Umbilical Cord finally fell off yesterday. That's the last physical bind she had to the womb, she is now completely detached (physically), and has a cute little belly button. Hmmm.. maybe I'll post a pic of it :-)

Love,

Million Dollar Smile

THAT'S MY GIRL!



How 'bout that?

Be sure to let Ria know what you think about her smile :)

Love,

Ria POTD (Picture Of The Day)

Love,

Meet the family.........

Ria is so fortunate to have so many people that love her. She was just in demand this weekend, that no body cared about me or Sami :-) Actually, we have no problem with that. Enjoy the pics, and I will post shutterfly link soon.

Full House

Ria will meet a lot of family today! Most everyone from Charlotte is coming over to play with Ria, and it's a going to be a packed house. I hope Ria likes all the company and attention.....she should, I thought all women did ;-)

I will post pictures of the gathering later, in the same post..so check back on sunday or even monday.

Ria is doing fine so far...she cries...but all babies do. She eats, and it seems she wants to put everything in her mouth...Sami said, she might even eat her own cheeks if she could get to them. That only proves that she has inherited the good ole Dharmesh appetite...OH MY!!! Good Luck Ria.

Take Care,

Current Conditions: Hurricane Ria

So she's finally here. I am sure she would have stayed in there longer if that option was Availaible to her, but everyone was getting too anxious to meet her. I guess the feeling sinks in more and more day by day....that she is MY daughter. Filling out forms and writing YOUR name down in the parents section is an amazing feeling.

There is ofcourse going to be a little less sleep, but let me tell you this..when you hear your baby cry, sleep takes the back stage. She has been really good about crying too....she only does it when she is hungry or needs her diaper changed, and she sleeps like a ... hmm...baby?

It is amazing how much Sami has to go through to bring Ria into this world. She has been SO strong through this whole process, where no doubt, there was a lot of pain. Yet, there is not a single world of complain from her. My hats off to her, and I thank her for giving us ALL the wonderful gift of... RIA.

Here's to welcoming the girl, that will stay on my #1 spot for a VERY VERY long time. (sorry sami, mom, tinu & dolly :) )
