What’s a moment you wish you could freeze and live in forever?
The Nursing Assistant lifted him up from my body and brought him closer to my face so that I could look at my just born infant…
There he was… bawling with a square open mouth, red and apparently angry at being dislodged from the cocoon of nine months… This little fellow could have overstayed some more… the protest sounded as much!!
My anaesthesist who was monitoring my vitals said as much with a loud laugh! But for me, this moment got etched in my heart and mind forever… My baby was finally there, after such a long wait, a beautiful creation of God, come to us to bring joy to our lives. I just couldn’t have enough of it…The mind got the screenshot, and its imprinted on every pore of my soul.
Heartfelt 
love this!

Congratulations, may he grow into a responsible and worthy human being.
And this is such a tender, vivid, and deeply emotional piece of writing. The way you describe that first moment of seeing your newborn is incredibly heartfelt and real — full of wonder, relief, love, and awe all at once.
I especially loved the image of the baby “bawling with a square open mouth, red and apparently angry at being dislodged from the cocoon of nine months.” It brings humor, warmth, and authenticity to such a sacred moment. The contrast between the baby’s loud protest and your quiet, overwhelming joy makes the memory feel beautifully alive.
