Sweet 16!!!!!

Yahoooooo...yep that's right here we are at 16 weeks. That's gone faster than I expected.  I told my cousin last week of our journey and our success and she was very very happy. She has put her hand up to babysit at any time which is so lovely. Still haven't said anything at work and not going to until a month out before I leave.

My work has been really good. Just recruited last person to the team so now we are at full capacity. My team and I have really been kicking goals over the past 3 months so I don't want anything to derail that....if I say I am leaving in 4 months then naturally people will start to detach from me and the work we are doing.

Wow I cant believe that this time in 4 months we will be heading back to India as our twins are expected to be born by c-section around 20 November 2012. Of course this date is likely to change and we will have confirmation closer to the 30 week mark.

I am gradually building up my album of "Bless us with Bubs" which is essentially a diary with photos of India, entries including some of the posts within my blog as well as the various scans etc of our bubs growing. I plan to show this to our children one day, when they are old enough to explain how much we wanted them.

I am still quite scared to be so close to realising a lifelong dream, that this could all be cruelly taken away from us at any moment.......to L and K (our beautiful surro mummies) and to my Mum and Dad above in heaven, please look after our bubs..........we loved you before we even met you (yes stealing that from the Savage Garden song)  little seedlings.

    Hi there,
    We will be in Delhi at the same time, our twins 40week birth date would be the 7th of december. But they will probably get born a lot before then.
    We still haven't found an affordable apartment (we will have to stay until january as well - because we are from a strange country. Could you let me know the web site of the apartment you got in Kailash, maybe they have more of these...
    Hope to see you guys in Delhi,
    Bea
