Life at Home

Well our little girl is now 6 weeks old. I can hardly believe it.........

Our time in India now seems so long ago although it was less than a month since we got home.

I am coping quite well and Miss mackenzie is the model child, so far although tired I have not had day naps or major meltdowns. She has been a little unsettled the last few days due to a slight cold/sniffles but for her this is just restlessness and a little bit a crying out for cuddles. I feel very lucky.

My beautiful sister/good photographer came to visit today and took some lovely photos for us. I don't want to miss a minute because she is growing soo fast. She finally made over 6 pound (3 kg) this week and has grown 6 cm since birth. I am in the process of ditching the premmie nappies and moving onto newborns, she is also nearly too big for a couple of her 00000 suits and has starting wearing 0000.

We are coming home

We have finally completed the last step in our paperwork and have everything we need to come home. Due to the connecting flights available from Mumbai we do not leave till Sunday morning and will arrive back in Tassie on Monday.

The thought of home has put a big smile from ear to ear on both of us.

Mackenzie is going great guns, she continues to put on heaps of weight and now feels so big to us. She has even started to get chubby cheeks.

Anyone is welcome to come visit us at home next Tuesday.... The welcome mat will be out.

Our little girl is officially an Australian citizen

We received confirmation from the High Commission that Mackenzies citizenship is approved and on its way to us with a courier.

Yay!!!!!!
:)


Our little one is also doing very well. She had her check up yesterday and has gained a massive 300gms in the last week. She now weighs 2.3 kg.

Still no progress getting home

Ever get the feeling you were very bad in a past life!!!!
Our DNA test has be held up in Customs in Australia with no idea when it will be cleared. It has now added about 3 days to getting home. At this stage we are not even sure we will make it back next week.

We are making preparations for Hannahs memorial service but it all depends on when we get home. We hope to have this a few days after we get home. Will let you all know once we have a more clear idea.

Hope to upload some more photos of Mackenzie tonight.
