Amma’s first words postpartum – “My baby! My baby! OMG, my baby! Look how beautiful my baby is!!”

Just had to LOL at Tara’s comment
She is sounding as excited as I thought she would. I’m so so so so so happy for you K’s mom. 3 pushes? Hats off woman.
Can you believe that I missed your call, and that hubby “forgot” to tell me until midnight. Am torn between wanting to desperately call you and wanting to let you get some rest. But hey, you’re blogging, so it won’t be that awful for me to call na?
