Our Babies are Here!!!

Here I am sitting in the Qantas Club Lounge waiting to board our flight that will take us into Delhi just before midnight tonight.

We got the BIG phone call at lunchtime on Valentines Day that our surrogate who was in hospital had gone into labour.  Dr Shivani asked us if we wanted our babies born on the same day as she had reviewed the situation and was happy for Baby No 2 to enter the world with Baby No1.

We have 2 Beautiful little GIRLS!!!

The emotions have been amazing -
Relief that our babies are all OK.
Joy that we are now finally parents!
Sadness that we are were not in Delhi sooner for cuddles and kisses!
Anxiety  - have we got everything we need to parent 2 little girls??????

Our girls were born at 35 weeks and both weigh 5 pounds.  They both look big and healthy in the photos but I am sure they must be tiny.  We got the email yesterday to say that our girls are ready to be discharged from hospital when we arrive. That means on Friday morning we will be taking our babies back to Svelte with us!!!

We have 2 names that we love but are waiting to meet our girls before we make a final decision.  How did this happen?  How did we get so bloody lucky? Well better go as the tears of happiness are starting again.

I will keep you all posted and hope to post some photos once we get organised.  I hope everyone is well and I apologise for not bogging sooner but the last couple of days have been a whirlwind!

Love to you all xx

    Can't wait to see the pics!!! You guys will rock as parents and just remember it's normal to feel overwhelmed at times but that is so normal! Book in a nurse to show you the ropes and take a bit of pressure off especially as you will be tired from the flight and give those babies a kiss and squeeze from me!!!!
