While we were still in the LDR room, the Sharma family and Asher Sharma came and waited for several hours. However, since our labor lasted around 12 hours, they eventually had to leave. But we were truly touched that they devoted so much time to us and waited to be the first ones to see us! We love you Sharmas!! We look forward to seeing them soon and introducing them to Sawyer!
Mindy and Robert came all the way from Delhi to the hospital to see us on the very same day Sawyer arrived. They are dear, dear friends of ours and are considered family. If our family couldn't be here, the next people we would want around us would be them! So it was very special to share this moment with them.
Dean and Sarah came as well to see us at the hospital. They had just come back from a trip and immediately drove to the hospital. We were a bit sad that Swyam was sleeping during their visit. For the past 5 months, we have been telling him that Alicia Aunty has a baby in her tummy. He kept saying that I was getting fat and that if there really was a baby, that we should show him. Since we didn't, he said that we were hiding the baby from him and only took it out when we went home. TOO FUNNY! We have been waiting for this day to prove it to him, and he was completely out of it!
Erica, a friend of ours that lives in our complex, was an AMAZING help to us as well. She and her family watched Sookie while we were in the hospital, Erica came to visit at the hospital, and then, our first full day home, cooked us Chicken and Rice.
A couple days after being home, Mindy, Gita, and Autumn came for a visit. They also brought TONS of food: chicken salad, pimento cheese, cinnamon rolls, lemon cake, oatmeal cookies, chicken potpie, Mindy's salad, and banana bread! Along with the food was an envelope from our friends Erick and Colleen who live too far away to see us at this time. Inside was money to pay for a delivery from Red Moon Bakery (our fav!) in the next week.
Poonam Aunty came to visit as well! She was so amazed by Sawyer we thought she was going to cry. She also brought a gift for Sawyer wrapped in Butterfly paper to again signify Butterfly Moments!
We had a great first visit back to see Dr. Preeti, although Sawyer was getting very hungry and wouldn't stop crying when in her arms. Dr. Preeti was an amazing doctor and we couldn't have asked for a better person to assist us in this journey!
Mona and Mohit came by the house as well. It was great to see Mohit's dream of 5 years finally start to come true! He has imagined us for a long time with 5 kids: one on the shoulders, two on each hip, and two walking by our side. Well brother...not sure about 5, but definitely have 1 for now!
