Laptop Hard disk crashed..
The laptop Hard disk crashed, and in the process, I lost quite a bit of photographs and videos of the newborn.
It was an IT disaster, that I have encountered for the first time ever, and has prompted me to think more seriously about putting my content (photographs and video etc) on cloud (amazon S3)..
In the meantime, the baby is going strong, and has been showing signs of responding to human interaction. For Example, she has started responding to "hi baby" and stuff like that, sometimes we caught her smiling as well...
Here are some photos from the days I got my new hard disk up and running...

Cord blood Banking for the second one...
Well, Technology progresses fast, and expectedly, the cord blood banking technology, and the facilities and benefits linked to that, in addition to the possibilities have improved a lot since our first ones'. At that time also, we chose the best available option, and went ahead with Cryobanks for banking his cord blood
This time around, after doing some more research, we chose to go with a different vendor, life cell international. They are also a renowned organization, involved with the cord blood banking business for quite some time.
One of the primary reasons for choosing Lifecell was that we wanted to chose two different organizations handling the banking of our two kids. if something does go wrong with one of them, at least the other one would still have the blood available.
Also, there is a new technology where they grow and do tissue banking for the baby, which can be utilized for the baby and in some cases, siblings, parents etc. We have opted for that too.

With this life changing event, our own kaka, has become a big brother now.... and we have a sister/daughter female in our family after a generation...
Krishna on his part is very excited, and sometimes over excited too... its hard to contain him, and get him not to touch the baby...

Day 4.. and the arrival at home...
Its getting lighter (she has lost about 240 gms) and cosier...especially with the upcoming homecoming...
After the maternity package days were over, it was time to head home, bring the lakshmi to her home...well, the current home that is. The process was smooth, and the hospital had decorated our car with pink ribbons and pink balloons, in tune with the colour of the female...
The journey home was painstaking since I was trying to be extra cautious with the standard issue indian road :) However good roads you get, you cant avoid potholes and uneven breakers on Indian roads...
Due to the decoration, the car was a point of everybody's attention on the road, basically a head-turner...felt nice :)
Once we reached home, it was really really great... someone has said it right, home is home afterall, nothing in the world quite like it....
