The game of my life took an important turn when I got to know that I had conceived twin babies.
Surprise. Excitement. Tears. Fear. Urge to eat. Being dependent for almost everything. Planning the maternity leave. Preparing myself for the D-Day. Mom's handmade food. Hospital food and bed. C-section. Being told of the arrival of boys. Kissing the new-borns in the operation theater. Informing family and friends. Pains. Struggle to get up from bed. Painful first walk. Bleeding. Sleeping babies. Sleepless nights. Naming. Smiles of babies. Meeting friends and family. Clicking photos. Recording videos. Changing diapers. Sterilizing the mill bottles. Dressing up the boys. Bathing them. Noting down their important milestones. Amazon prime and Netflix at night. Rejoining the office. Creche. Driving with the babies in isofixed car seats. Maids. Visit to hospital. Cold. Cough. Fever. Laughs. Fights for toys. Handling two projects, two bosses and two teams with more rigor than ever. Cooking for babies. First steps of the boys. First birthday. And so much of inexpressible 'Larger than life' experience.
It's been a wonderful and engaging journey of 20 months which I have thoroughly enjoyed and lived. It's kind of once in a lifetime thing. Got help from many people during this time; cannot name all of them here but I will remember all of them and be indebted all throughout my life.
Soon after the delivery I realized that I had always dreamt of having twins, but never dreamt of raising them! It's not easy and it's not that difficult either. There has been will and the ways have been found out. It shall continue.
Introducing our boys... Shiva Bharat & Bhuvan Shambho.
