If you ever wond1ered how the above phrase was coined, I have the perfect answer for you ...
One late night in Aug'10 was a night of excitement, tiredness, long wait (and totally worth it), pain (for some), fear ( for all of us) - big mixed bag of emotions which I cannot comprehend fully... A friend of mine from work gave birth to a beautiful baby boy... The first time I laid my eyes on him, he was completely wrapped up in this white with blue border stripes cloth (for lack of better word) with only his face being visible.. .It was such a joy to see him that trying to wriggle, fluttering his open and close, sticking his tongue in and out... and the phrase 'bundle of joy' came into my mind.
I watched him being taken right from the delivery room to the baby room ...His mother made me promise that I would stay and watch (and not take my eyes of him) while he undergoes his first check up . I watched him for couple of hours as he was poked and checked by the nurse to make sure his vitals are doing fine.. to make sure he looks and feels fine ... After that he was laid in his crib, close to the window so I could watch him ... He kept doing these actions, so oblivious to the entire world, so innocent that it made me cry (tears of happiness, of course) ... Finally the parents were united wit the baby and it was a very happy ending :)
It was my first experience with a newly born . .and it was AMAZING!
