The mood is upbeat for the country`s first family. And so too for the Vadras. The stork is a-visiting and no stone has been left unturned to ensure that the mother-in-waiting is in fine form. Earlier reports had said Priyanka Gandhi had been admitted to the capital’s Gangaram Hospital with labour pains, but our sources confirmed that she is at the hospital for a routine check-up for her advanced stage of pregnancy. No fixed date has been given for the delivery, which is due in the first week of September. Meanwhile, Room 219 has been converted into a ward with a gynaecologist and two nurses on duty round the clock. Four personnel of the Special Protection Group are on vigil. For the moment, no one`s talking about whether it will be a baby boy or girl. The fact that the couple will be blessed with a baby is reason enough for joy. After all, the new baby will be the first addition to the Gandhi clan since Varun Gandhi. And, parenthood for Priyanka and Robert also means that Sonia Gandhi will be elevated to the exalted position of Gandhi grandmom. Sonia incidentally called off her scheduled trip to the US to be by her daughter’s side. Bureau Report
