WOW!! How time has flown!!

Ela is now eleven weeks old!!!!!! Ela's first Christmas has been and gone, and we now start another fun filled year with our gorgeous daughter. We so look forward to watching her grow and develop in 2011.



We are blessed to have a daughter who is almost constantly smiling, why she is so happy I don't know, but god it is just amazing to see. I am sure she was born with a smile on her face !!!!!!! :)



Ela has just started to sleep through the night in the last two days, 11pm to 6am, which is just amazing.


Ela has been the perfect baby so far, contented and barely ever cries, just does the odd little mumer to let us know when she is hungary :)



Ela loves to play, and has started making lots of funny noises and squeels of joy, it is sooooo funny to listen to :)



HAPPY 2011 EVERYONE!! MAY THERE BE LOVE, PEACE, JOY AND HAPPINESS
IN THE YEAR AHEAD!!!!!

10 days old!!

Can't believe Ela is now 10 days old!!

We have been back to the doctors for a check up and all is GREAT, back up to birth weight of 2.3kg's, umbilicle cord has come off and is healing well. Slight jaundice has settled.

Ela loves her baths!! And just seems to get on with just about everything, nothing phases her at all.

A HUGE celebration dinner was put on by the SI Doctors last night. Many couples with babies and IP's were there to celebrate there success of reaching a mile stone of 50 BABIES!!! It was a great night, and a chance to show off our beautiful girl!! She was the perfect angel and slept through the entire night :)

All our paper are now with immigration, so we now wait........
We hope to have Ela's citizenship by Monday, all being well.
Looking forward to getting back to OZ and celebrating some more, with our close family and friends!

                                                             PERFECT ELA!!!!!!!!!!!

Life as a Mum!!

Well so far so good.

We are out of hospital and doing GREAT.
Ela is feeding well, is sleepin like a trooper.....hope this carries on lol.
She is weeing and pooing, burping and oh yeah...breathing....so what more can i ask for. She is now feeding 40mls every 2.5hrs, so I am very happy.


I am so happy...words can not explain, she is just so cute....can I say PERFECT?? Because to me she is perfect and more.

We do her DNA test tonight.....still waiting for her birth certificate to put all our papers into immigration.....but we hear that once all our papers are in, it takes about twelve days to process before we get to come home.

Hotel is lovely, nice food and great service. Staff are very friendly....so we are lapping up the quality Ela time :)

I AM SO HAPPY, DOUG IS BESOTTED, WHAT MORE CAN I SAY!!!!! .

Safe and sound in Mumbai

We are now trying to get over our flight and the difference in time zones.

Looking forward to meeting up with the SI Doctors today and seeing our surrogate again. I am very nervous and excited at the same time. Think I might be a little emotional.....

We are very happy with our hotel the Court Yard Marriot, we spent our first day in the hotel resting.

Time now to venture into the big smoke of Mumbia!!
Feels good to be back :)

Up, up and away

The time has arrived. We leave for Mumbai on Thursday arvo!

Everything is packed, all neccesary forms completed (blah blah blah).

Spudla (as he/she has become known as) will be born by C-Section on Monday 18th October.
Much love to our surrogate - our thoughts are with her (we will see you soon).

We will soon be awash with endless smelly nappies and a endless cycle of feed bottles and being vomited on - CAN"T WAIT - WOO HOO.
