Introducing Anvika

It was the morning of August 11th when I felt slightly different and my OB even told me that the baby is on it's way maybe that afternoon or evening....and finally my journey of 9 months with Anvika concluded on August 12th @ 1.07 AM. Yes, that's when I held Anvika for the first time in my arms. As I left for the hospital at night, I knew things would be very different when I return back home with a new member of our family. Anvesha- who until now had my exclusive and undivided attention would be the one most affected. I  didn't even know how Anvesha would react when she sees Anvika for the first time.With mixed feelings I left home thinking life will be completely different when I come back.

Here is Anvika, born on August 12th @ 1.07 AM weighing 7 pounds and 11 ounce and measuring 19.5 inches.



The following morning Anvesha came to the hospital with my parents to meet her little sister and she was so excited to meet her. Her first reaction when she saw Anvika was that she is so tiny and so cute. She insisted on taking Anvika in her lap and we let her hold her for some time. She is super possessive of her little sister and when the doctor came to check Anvika, she was in tears when we took Anvika from her arms to give to the doctor. Cute isn't it?




Here are the glimpses of the two sisters at the hospital







Anvika is 2 weeks old now and we had the shuddhi havan at our place last week. So what does Anvika mean? Well, the meaning of her name is "Powerful and complete", completeness in every sense indeed :) It rhymes so well with Anvesha too.



As far as I am concerned, I am still recovering and trying to catch up on my sleep whenever possible, although I still have a long way to go before I can finally manage to get atleast 6 hours of sleep :) There is lots to catch up and I will slowly get there.... just a heads up, this blog address will soon change and my blog title will change too ;) No prizes for guessing...... it's now gonna be "Life with Anvesha & Anvika"  :) But as of now, for the sake of simplicity and my sanity, I will keep posting on this blog until the new one is under construction, so stay tuned for lots of more updates of the new sisters in town!!!
