We were expecting a baby girl for a while now, she was due May 24th 2009. 2008 was a whirlwind year for me. It was extremely exciting and fun. I traveled a great deal starting with trips to upstate New York, Baltimore, Washington DC, New York City, Chicago, New Hampshire, Florida. The momentum carried through in 2009 too, I traveled to India during my second trimester and returned during the third trimester.
In India my mother threw me the Iyer baby shower also known as the Valagapu and Seemandam. The ceremony was fun and it was nice meeting up with my relatives. Following this my mother in law gave me the Maharashtrian baby shower also known as the khelvan. After relaxing at home and getting pampered, I returned to the USA. After much discussion my husband and I finalized on the name Veda. My friends threw me a surprise baby shower on the 22nd of March and my colleagues surprised me on May 7th.
My mother came to assist me with the delivery on April 24th. I worked till May 27th. Our little girl Veda finally arrived on May 28th 2009 at 3:28am (EST), weighing 7lb 8oz and 20.5" at birth.
