The Bat(d) Night!!

Looks like this was the longest day/night we ever had! With so many things happening in the day and night, you must be wondering what else could have happened more...but there was a big surprise in store for us!
Ram was woken up by a clattering noise from the papers lying below our bed at around 3 in the morning. When we got up to see what it was, he says he saw bat flying out of the door...yeah you heard/saw it right...it was a BAT!! He tried to spot it again...but couldn't find it. When he told me this in the morning, I casually told him that it washis dream...but he was pretty confident. We tried to find the bat for the next 2 days but couldn't find it. So we were convinced that it was a dream only!
But then things changed...on Sunday night, we saw the bat lying on the kitchen floor..squeaking. Yucky! Since I was just 5 weeks pregnant, Ram asked me to go inside the room and lock it. But then he needed help from me to kill it..Darn!! And finally with all its squeaking and our nervousness...we killed the bat. Oh my god....what an experience!

After 2 days, on Tuesday the bat which was sent for testing was tested positive for Rabies and we had to be vaccinated with the rabies shots. Each of us have taken 4 shots in a span of 10 days...and so did our baby!
I realized how adventuress our kid is...that we had to experience such a ...... when the baby was only 5 weeks in my tummy!

The Big day!

It was April 15th and I had an appointment with my doctor to confirm the pregnancy. Ram wasn't there with me, as he was in New Jersey helping out his sister and brother-in-law who underwent a hip surgery.
I was excited and mixed with emotions. After giving the test, I waited for the doctor to come. Her name was Dr.Mary Ezzo. As soon as she came inside the room, she said "Congratulations! You are pregnant!". I was filled with joy but at the same time missed Ram being there :-(
I came home, called Ram to confirm the news and then informed my sis-in-law and brother. They were all excited as we were!!
I was waiting for 8pm, as Ram's flight from NJ was scheduled then. I went to the airport to pick him up. As soon as I spotted him, I hugged him and both of us congratulated each of us! I was ready with dinner at home, but Ram said lets celebrate the big day in a restaurant. So we went to Panino's - one of our favorite restaurants and had dinner.
There is still more left in the day....I mean night. We had to share this news with our parents. Their happiness and joy knew no bounds and they said we made their day!! I informed my sister as well, and she being a Gynecologist took my news like any other patient's and congratulated me :-)
