Sorry for being a bad blogger...

However the last 5 months have been a wonderful blur!
We are all sleeping through the night now, (mostly) we have started the boys on some solids, and hopefully sitting will be mastered very shortly!  But onto the photos...

It's pitch black and you hear a baby cry (or maybe two at the same time if you are lucky)...what time is it you think to yourself.. I feel like I've been asleep for 10 hours..god I hope the baby hasn't been crying for that long..you roll out of bed, your shoulder hits the wall as you try to get your balance you spin...you feel kind of sick and dizzy at the same time...the baby's cry is starting to get louder and more distressed, I'm coming sweet you yell out...you run your hand along the table trying to find your phone or watch to get the time, things crash to the floor...gosh it's 3 am, I've only been asleep for an hour.

You change the nappy on auto pilot, make his bottle up (its 10 steps to the kitchen with your eyes closed), put it in his mouth then you experience those micro sleeps that people talk about when they are driving...you jerk yourself awake, thereby jerking the baby while he is trying to feed...WAKE UP! you tell yourself...5 minutes later you feel yourself drifting off to sleep again with baby in your arms....you think to yourself you'd better wake yourself up as the second baby starts crying for his bottle...OMG I never knew you could be this tired..

Then you look down into the little ones face and he's looking straight back at you, I'm awake now gorgeous I'm awake!

Little Kurt had to have an operation to fix two hernias he had in his groin, but that didnt stop his growth spurt. He is a little tiger! And there is no stopping Hudson either. They are just perfect!



                                   Are you freaking kidding me?  Nice outfit Joann? xo

                                                            Love that mobile Mum!

 
                                                    Kurt (he has a little conjunctivitis)

                            Heres Hudson, which reminds mummy she needs better photos of just Hudson!

We are outa here!

It's been ground hog day in our room at svelte! Our life has been broken down into beautiful 3 to 4 hour blocks...feeding, burping, changing nappies, putting to bed, cleaning up the storm that the unit turned into during last events, getting ready for it all again in a few hours.
The night feeds are now done on remote control..we have it set up so that not much thought has to go into the event.
I'm really looking forward to getting home and getting the boys into a routine and being able to utilise all the baby mod cons we have waiting for them there...like a sterilising machine rather than steam bags just for starters!
Hudson has this eating thing down pat, Kurt is slowly getting used to it, it's actually quite a bit of work (nice work) making sure that he has had enough food every feed.

We lived through the getting out process! Just the flights left to go...we saw Poonam on the 11th feb and contracted her same day, we had all travel documents to leave by the 22nd, so 10 working days, not bad eh? The worst of the lot was the FRRO process. That was ugly, and not good with two new borns! How did you parents with triplets do it?

We met our beautiful surrogate which I will always remember, and said our good byes to all the girls at SCI. It's taken us two days to get all our gear together in our home away from home but we are SO ready to go home.

Good luck to all yet to get to this stage, the experience has definitely been worth it!

Xox




Don't make me go to the FRRO!


Bring lots of bibs & little face washers!

Together again






It has been a little scary with Kurt being so little and his feeding regime. However u tube has an abundance of training on bottle feeding premmies to give you some confidence.

It's really action packed here in our little indian home. I do not know how you couples do it with triplets!

Blurry...

We have only been in Delhi for..wait for it, just had to count off my fingers, then had to look up what day it was...yes Friday 5 days, is that all?
We have our most gorgeous little master Hudson, who has us just about under his control in his routine, today we pick up Kurt little master no 2. I have been holding my breath for Kurt, as he was so little, his feeding tube came out yesterday after the family trip to the doctor for the DNA tests. Aussies this is blood test not swab, so you can feed the babies before you go!
I have to say that ours was not a breeze thanks John for rubbing it in ;), due to some miscommunications it was horrific to say the least, but all done now and word is the samples have arrived back in Australia.
Poonam assistance has been great, if you only use her services to stay out of the Delhi traffic it is worth every penny!!!
The team at SCI have been very efficient, none of it could happen without Rahul and his team who will do all the driving as well as organise laundry, sim cards, money change you name it, and I do not have any complaints about svelte. Ps all you Ips on the way over, try and get a room on the mall side of the building to avoid the traffic noise and bring garbage bags...weird eh?

Now I have been having trouble with phones, cameras and Internet, so only one photo but more to follow soon now that we are organised...here's Hudson having a quick sponge bath, screamed the hotel down in the bath, so will stick to these for.a while.

And ps all you Ips considering this process....all the dramas, anxieties, sleepless nights, is soooo worth it!
