Riya Goel - Dec 30, 2008

Hi everybody,

I'm finally here, all 7 lbs, 11.6 oz and 21 inches of me. Mommy pushed really hard until I finally came out on Dec 30, 2008 at 11:36 PM. She's one courageous lady (my Mommy), delivering naturally after having a Cesarean with my big sister Piya.

Piya Didi is excited to have a little sister of her own. Didi loves me a lot. I guess Papa is right -- I'm just so darn cute and adorable. :)

Papa wants to revisit all the experiences he's shared with Piya Didi and then some. He's even taken to changing my dirty diapers. I promise to keep him busy on the diaper front ;).

Dadaji (grandpa) and Dadiji (grandma) are both very delighted (as is the rest of the family). I want to shower everybody with the same love and affection that they've showered upon me.

I gotta nap now. The world is waiting. I need my rest.

Lots of love, hugs, and kisses,
Riya Goel
