I cannot believe we are leaving on Saturday to go back to Delhi for baby pickup!
Everyone is asking if I'm excited.......I truly don't know, part of me is excited and part of me wants to throw up with nerves. I feel like I've been in this situation too many times and it's all so surreal.
Mb has left his job after 16 years for many reasons, mainly to have a break, de stress and be there for J. Teenage boys are great but a Mum can't substitute a Dad at this age. J loves us both and is such a gorgeous boy but this year we have noticed how much MB's working hours and stress have affected us all and we were all so over having to rush here and there and fit everything into one day of the week. Our family and friends constantly complain of not seeing us and none of them have any idea how little time we had to even talk to each other let alone get us all together to socialise.
MB could not even attend Weddings until the reception started at night because of his work commitments. Years of being pulled between work and home have taken it's toll and it will be so nice for him to have the summer off a get back to his old self, and not have to rush around all the time.
I really hope all goes well with this birth for our surrogate and our little one. I pray for them every night! Listen to me being all negative....it's not being negative as such it's just that everything is so far away and hard to believe. We have now being waiting 12 years for J's sibling to be born. He will be a wonderful big brother and yes I still feel guilt that I couldn't make it happen sooner for him. It feels like just yesterday when J was born, he has grown so quickly and I am so proud of him. He is so Tall now and wants to be treated like an adult but he is still my baby boy and it's scary seeing your baby venture out into the teenage world but I know he has to slowly walk that bridge and I will always be here for him, pretending not to worry :) He has a great Dad, grandparents, uncles and aunties and cousins so he is very lucky indeed!
Ok I just had a rush of excitement then....see it comes and goes!!!! Watch this space for updates from Delhi!!!

Lots of love,
Philip, Adam (and our own bundle of joy, Noah!)

I have thought of you often since we both started this journey at precisely the same time. While full of highs and lows, we both, finally, made it to the End/Beginning. I could not be happier for you. Much love to your family.

ReplyDeleteWOOOHHHOOOOOOOO!! Bec, how amazing that you're picking your baby up. Soon you'll be returning home with babe in arms! I am so happy for you.
ReplyDeleteOur journey was put on hold, so I closed my blog and when I started my new blog I couldn't "follow" anyone elses blogs. The "follow" function didn't work. Anyway, I fixed the problem and I'm now so glad to be able to keep up to date.
AND now I'm super keen to hear more news as your baby ticker thingamebob has stopped. Does that mean there is no more baby inside?
