A Long-overdue update

Sorry :) I've been keeping up with everyone's blogs, but I haven't had the time to update my own. It's very naughty, I know, and I hope you can forgive me.

Well, it's official, I have fallen completely and totally in love with my sonshine. He is such a good-natured, sweet and funny little thing. He loves being tickled and kissed on his tummy, adores hanging out with his buddy, Muppet, and is a really good eater and sleeper. He enjoys tummy time a lot more now and has started moving around the room, albeit backwards.

We spend a lot of our time on 'dates', exploring our surrounds and taking in the beautiful scenery. Even though Summer is over and we're beginning to rug up, we still enjoy going for walks and picnicking by the ocean. Life is a dream and being a Mum is the best thing that's ever happened to me.

Griff and I are off to Perth for a couple of weeks on Wednesday. I'm REALLY looking forward to hanging out with my family, but i dread being away from Timmy for so long. I don't know how he'll cope, being away from his sonshine for so long, but we will try to skype him as much as we can.

I hope you're all well and happy and enjoying your babies and pregnancies. Two of our very dear friends, who we met in India and who live in Sydney, went to pick up their son yesterday. We can't wait to meet him and Griff's looking forward to getting to know his new friend.

Here are a few pics of our delicious child. Enjoy!


We went to Melbourne for a holiday and stayed in a fancy hotel. Griff enjoyed his bath in the sink.

Yes, I love you both

Taken on one of our 'dates'. We often have lunch by the ocean. Griff's terrific company and loves meeting new people. He smiles and smiles as if to say "yes, I am lovely. thanks for noticing".

Oh Jo, you call me asap. Can't wait for our play dates. I have them all planned!!! Let's spin the boys out and take them on a speed boat ride down the Swan River, bwahahaha.

Griff is so freaking cute and looking more like his dad and mum every day. I can't wait to see him and Toby together. I hope Toby behaves, I suspect he is a good bit naughtier than Griff.
Love you all lots

Thanks for sharing the beautiful pictures. I should tell you that yours was one of the first Indian surrogacy blogs I discovered. I followed from afar for quite some time. You have been such an inspiration. I hope that my story has the same beautiful ending!
