Dear Atiksh, Wish you a wonderful birthday. You are three today. Can you believe how fast time has gone by? I still feel like it was yesterday that I was dreaming of you and trying to fill my heart with hope that you will come and make our lives complete and today you make our […]

Dear Atiksh, I want to apologize first for not writing this letter to you for your first birthday. I was just over the moon with that milestone that my brain refused to slow down to write this. If you do not know my now, you will soon, your mom is a sucker for New Year. […]

Just over a year ago, we packed our bags and moved , not knowing what the future held. With a heavy tummy, a terrified heart, I moved. Somehow packed everything and moved to a new place I would call home, not knowing for how long then. It was terrifying, petrifying to say the least. With […]

Today is a very big. big. big day for our Littlest A. He is starting daycare. We are going to start slow, he is gone for 2 hours today. It is all very overwhelming. This was a hard decision  for us, but a much needed one. I have been on a break from work for […]

I did not know how to title this post. I am using how she was known on her Facebook Page ( https://www.facebook.com/WeSupportBabyB). We met her at the NICU in UVA. She was Atiksh’s pod mate first and then they were in adjacent bed for weeks. She was already there for 2 months when Atiksh was born. […]

Wow it has nearly been two months since I updated anything. Time sure does fly when you learn to manage the new lifestyle life has thrown at you. Let me rewind and try to do a recap by months- November: The last time I wrote I did write about the Synagis vaccine. Turns out that […]

The number 8 has played such an important role in Atiksh’s life that I thought it will be fun to recap it: August 18th- He was born, my sweet charming little angel. August 28th- His first major surgery to repair his Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia September 8th- The first time he took a breath on his […]
