Labor Watch: Adoption Style

Srushti has returned to the ashram in Ahmedabad from New Delhi. The medical appointment went well and the visa interview went along fine. The embassy now mails the visa to the ashram, so we have to wait for that to arrive before we can make travel arrangements.

I'm doing all those things that mothers do right before labor starts: home repairs. I'm painting all those places that will be hard to paint with a toddler in the house, such as the kitchen cabinets. I'm scrubbing and cleaning and basically going crazy. Srushti's bags are already packed!

We're back to waiting. Waiting on this precious piece of mail. Never in my life has mail held so much value!

Actually, right before the twins came (the sunday before their monday arrival), I went shopping for our new granite countertop. the people there thought I was crazy- you know me looking like a huge melon about to burst with a scheduled c section the following day. Curiously, I was already having contractions I didn't know about, so thankfully I had the csection the next day (I couldn't labor since I had had uterine surgery in 2006 because the uterus could have burst). But yes, mothers to be do the strangest things- still waiting to see your lime or green now cabinets (I'm a traditionalist myself when it comes to kitchen decorating/color).
