24 weeks or just about

Here we are well over half way through pregnancy. Our twins will be at 24 weeks come Tuesday 4 September and our little single one will be at 22 weeks. I am so thankful to our surro mummies L and K and of course Dr Shivani and SCI for taking good care of our babies.

Andrew and I have started the paperwork process with hubby spending some time at the Melbourne CBD Indian visa office. He is going to apply for a medical visa so we are giving ourselves plenty of time to get this organised. Our accommodation in New Delhi is confirmed and half paid for. We have got ourselves a lovely 3 bedroom apartment in Great Kailash 2 and we got a great deal. Luckily we are able to extend our stay in Delhi into the New Year without creating too much of a financial headache as the place we are staying is extremely reasonable.

The nursery is progressing well and we have one cot assembled already. The Pooh mobile is also attached to the cot. I cant wait to properly dress the cot as I have some really cute cot sheets. All of our babies will have their own Winnie the Pooh theme for their cot. I keep going into the nursery and turning on the cot mobile and every time I do I tear up ..... if we came this close and something happened to our little ones I know we would be so devastated......it's still really hard to believe it is going to happen. I know all of us here in surro land have had these feelings.

Thought I would share some more nursery photos . Here is first cot assembled. We havent bought brand new and the cots are all different. We have cleaned them and polished them up with wood polish and of course bought new mattresses.

I got this great bassinette off Ebay as it was barely used. Have just laundered it at dry cleaner and really happy with it. So cute in a beige colour with bumble bees. The bassinette has some other great functions such as heartbeat sounds, a nightlight and calming water sounds as well.

 And finally on the wardrobe door we have affixed this felt cut out of Winnie the Pooh....thank goodness for sticky velcro dots...they worked a treat!

Tomorrow is Father's day here in Australia. I wish everyone a Happy Day. I have a little something for my hubby and Daddy in waiting.

    1. Thanks guys. Cant wait to see you and your little ones when they arrive in December. I am trying to work out a way to pay excess baggage in advance before we get to the airport (hoping it will be cheaper) as I know we are going to be way over the limit!!!

  6. What a fun nursery! My son's nursery was decorated with Winnie the Pooh. I am sure that your babies will be so happy in their lovely nursery. It seems like the time has flown since you found out you were pregnant but I bet on your end it has dragged by slowly. Only a few more months until you are holding your three little miracles. Best wishes!!
