This Sunday the twins will be 8 months.<br>
<br>
I'm constantly amazed at how quickly they learn, and master new skills, while they are not crawling yet they are almost there, and I know when April finally figures it out she will be zipping around. Charlie being a boy is happy just sitting and watching the world go by.<br>
<br>
In the last few days both of their bottom teeth have started coming through, Charlie has been getting up in the middle of the night, but I think this is more because I took him off the night time sleepy formula, so tonight I will put him back onto that.<br>
<br>
The laws regarding passports for children born through surrogacy changed in April this year, your now require the surrogates consent for a passport, I didn't both trying to do that and just filled out a couple of exemption forms, it took three months for me to get their new passports, most of that was because of incorrect advice being provided by the Passports Office and overzealous Australia Post workers who kept refusing to accept the forms for the most stupid reasons.<br>
<br>
Such as the person stating that they knew the children wrote "known for 6 months" but because when it was signed they were only 5 months and 24 days, so the forms had to be redone. Once redone we completed N/A under the years field and then 5 months, Australia Post rejected it again saying they should have wrote 00 Years 05 months, after that and a whole other bunch of mishaps I made an appointment to deal directly with the passports office. I hate to say it but the FRRO were far better than Australia post.<br>
<br>
So if you are in Australia and need to get a new passport, make sure you allow plenty of time, in theory and for a lot of people I know it has been very straight forward, but just in case it pays to be prepared.<br>
<br>
I really do miss India and would love to live and work there and expose the kids more to the Indian culture, but I don't think I will return before the kids turn 6. I have found this adorable youtube clip of nursery rhymes in Hindi. It goes for about 15 minutes and is fairly cute. Here is the link if anyone is interested http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFzZmO7CexY<br>
<br>
I'm still working out returning to work, I am currently on leave from my job in Canberra until early next year. When I found out I was having twins I decided to move to Perth to be closer to family to have that additional support when needed, the problem is that Canberra is more than 3000km away so I am trying to negotiate working out of the Perth office. I am sure something will work out.<br>
<br>
Here are a few pictures from the last couple of months.<br>

<br />
I'm hoping my work in Canberra will be flexible and let me work from Perth as I'm not keen on commuting that far. <br />
<br />
Everything is well. The kids are happy and good sleepers. April has a brace on for a few more weeks to correct her clicky hip. <br />
<br />
Here's some pics from Sydney. <br />

15 weeks. <br />
<br />
Parenthood is going well. I'm very used to 'where's mum?' Question. I tend to go a bit stir crazy staying at home so tend to head out everyday. The kids love the shops and anywhere that is busy and noisy. <br />
<br />
Last week I decided to travel and visit some friends and family in the south west of the state. The bubs did well sleeping in a different house each night and it was lovely seeing family. <br />
<br />
Here are a couple of pictures from the last couple of weeks <br />

<br />
April and Charlie are going pretty well. They started sleeping through the night the other week. Now I just need to get used to sleeping through the night. <br />
<br />
I consider myself so lucky to have these two amazing children. My heart completely melts when the look into my eyes and smile. <br />
<br />
Here are a couple of pictures.<br />

Oh and I decided to rethink the nappy/diaper bag and ended up getting a tool bag... What do you think ... $16 bucks, hard wearing and practice. Did I mention butch? <br />

<br />
Where do I start.... Well everything has worked out perfectly and I am so lucky.... really really lucky and I have so many people to thank and I will get to them a bit later.<br />
<br />
<b>ACCOMMODATION </b><br />
For the three and a bit weeks that I was in New Delhi I stayed at Jangpura Extension which is about 10-15 minutes down the road from SCI and Eden hospital, the place I stayed at is called India Luxury Homes and they were pretty good, the staff were very attentive and lovely, they weren't the best cleaners, but the apartment was comfortable, affordable and set in a really nice and friendly community. There were some really great local markets every night that were cheap, great take out places (mughal, desi beat etc and even Mcdonald's). My favourite takeout place was just across the road from Mcdonalds where every night a guy would cook these hash browns with a sweet chili sauce that were 10 rp each (20 cents), and sometimes these made a nice and cheap dinner. The other good thing about the area was because it wasn't a tourist area there were rarely any beggars.<br />
<br />
If you want more information on the apartments the link is below, the owner is lovely but sometimes hard to get in touch with by email, so I would suggest calling, all speaking with SCI as they are able to get a response very quickly.<br />
<br />
ttp://indialuxuryhomes.in/servive_apartment_pictures.html<br />
I've attached a few pictures from the area.<br />
<br />
<b>SCI </b><br />
<br />
SCI was great, and I am really happy with them, there were minor hicups with accounts but they were sorted out very quickly.<br />
<br />
I really can't thank Dr Shivani enough for her dedication and support, India was really my only option to have children and it could have not gone smoother.<br />
<br />
A special thank you to Dr Shivani, Rachna and the Admin team, I don't know how they do it, they all work their asses off. Also a big thank you to Meg who helped keep me sane and answer all my questions.<br />
<br />
<b>POONAM </b><br />
<br />
I used poonams services when I was India and it was great, the twins were born on Wednesday 27 Feb and I have my exit visa the following Friday (9 Days!!). I would recommend using Poonam.. I loved not having to think about what I had to do and when I had to get it done, you think the paperwork is easy but it is all the running around that you have to do which makes using Poonam so worth it.<br />
<br />
<b>FRRO </b><br />
<br />
The FRRO sucks, but its really not that bad, I think all up I had to go to 11 different queues and I was there for just under 6 hours. There systems are really ridiculous and you think with so many staff they would work smarter, but they don't. Some queues give you ticket numbers some don't.<br />
<br />
The Evil Ice Queen you have to see isn't the brightest spark and I found the interview with her quite amusing, she was extremely rude (think of the movie "devil wears prada"and the charactor played by Meryl Streep) and asked some really ridiculous questions, you would think with all the surrogacy contracts she goes through she would actually know a thing or two about IVF.... clearly not.. as I had to dumb down the whole process for her.... Poonam explained to me that she is nice and is trying to be corporate and doing what she has been told to do..... It's just unfortunate that she is not bright enough to see the bigger picture.<br />
<br />
But most people going through FRRO have not broken the law so don't worry, your children are citizens of another country so there is really very little they can do.<br />
<br />
<b>Eden Hospital </b><br />
<br />
The nurses at Eden Hospital were so lovely, it was great to see so many of them and they were really so caring, it was wonderful seeing them look after all the other babies. The hospital is small and I couldn't find it at 3am in the morning, so you may want to check it out where it is if you have a baby on the way.<br />
<br />
<b>MIDWIVES</b><br />
<br />
I hired a nanny a few times Mariama and they were great, I really recommend doing it the night before you have to go to the FRRO and the night before you fly out, It costs around 20 bucks for a 12 hour shift and it was nice picking up tips from expects.<br />
<br />
<b>RAHUL</b><br />
<br />
I used Rahuls Western Taxis and they to were good, always on time and reasonably priced. However, for short trips I just used a tuk tuk. I also organised a trip to the Taj Mahal with one of Rahul's Drivers, the day trip was great and so was Rahul's driver but the tour guide used wasn't so good and was getting kick backs from every shop he took us too.<br />
<br />
<b>Old Delhi Tour </b><br />
I came across this great tour in Old Delhi that was fantastic, some other Australian's did it last year and recommended it, so my parents went one time and then I went the following week.<br />
<br />
For India standards it is expensive ranging from around $50 per person to $120 for a full day private tour , but it was really excellent, the tour takes you through old delhi, you end up in some pretty amazing places and you see the bones of old delhi. We climbed on roof tops, discovered where all the wedding flowers come from, ate so much food and learnt about the history of the place, at the end of the tour the guide invites you back to his place for lunch or dinner (and wow it is an amazing place).<br />
<br />
The two people that run it do not accept tips and do not encourage shopping (yes!!! really), I did tell my guide that I was after some of the holi coloured powders and she took me to the place in old delhi, then got 60% off the packaged price for me (I ended up buying 11kgs for $19.... bargain!!!)<br />
<br />
They also take a lot of pictures - click on the link below to see the some of the pictures<br />

<br />
If you are interested in doing the tour you can contact either Anju Varma and Dhrus Gupta at http://www.masterjikeehaveli.com/<br />
<br />
I highly recommend it, and it is refreshing meeting people that are passionate about Old Delhi and more than happy to share that with you.... it was like seeing the city with an old friend rather than a tour guide.<br />
<br />
<b>High Tea at the Imperial </b><br />
<br />
For about 15 bucks you can have an amazing high tea at the imperial hotel..... its getting really late so I am too lazy to look up the link .. but if you have time check it out and I will upload some photos tomorrow.<br />
<br />
<b>Everyone else </b><br />
<br />
I really want to thank everyone that I have met on this journey, the surrogacy community is one big family and there are so many people that have inspired me and shared their knowledge with me... A big thank you to Mark and Chris, Simon and Richard, Jason and Adrian as well Charlie and Brent, Joann and Brian.... I am sure I have forgotten someone.. but thank you..<br />
<br />
<br />
I hope to make another update soon.... after I move into the new house and get some sleep.<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

<br />
It's only been 6 days since we arrived in Delhi but it feels like that was weeks ago. India really amazes me, there really is no way to describe the place, it's a mix of extreme opposites, it is chaotically peacefully, spiritually rich and so confronting.<br />
<br />
I'm staying in Jungpura extension at the Indian Lux Homes, they are nice enough, two bed, two bath, reasonably clean, the only downside is the plumbing in my apartment is playing up and the temperature of the shower yo-yos constantly - they are looking into it and I hope that it will be fixed soon. The staff here are great, I feel a little sory for the doorman, he is such a lovely guy who doesn't speak much english, he works very long hours, sometimes 24 hours, but he is always so helpful and smiling, we have got into the habit of ordering extra food at night to make sure he gets a hot meal.<br />
<br />
I have to say I really like the neighbourhood, While I love going to the citywalk, its nice being in an areas where you dont get targeted for being a tourist and hassled by beggars. In the evening this neighbourhood comes alive, there are street markets about 400 metres away, heaps of food stores, actually everything you need is within walking distance, the only challenge is trying to find it.<br />
<br />
My parents are really starting to enjoy India, we have been to so many markets and shops, but my favourite is the old delhi markets and spice markets, we spent 5 hours walking around there today and it was amazing (once you are out of the red fort tourist trap vincitinty), I've been trying to find the holi colour powders to use for a christening type celebration for the twins and after going through a number of alleys, we were pointed to this slim alley (a one person width kind of alley), there I found the packages i was after with about 12 colours and it was only 20rp (40 cents), so I got 14 packets. Huge win as they were around 400 rp a packet at the mall.<br />
<br />
As the twins are taking the time I took my parents down to the Taj Mahal, we left at 3.30am so we could be there at sunrise and beat the crowds, I used Rahul's driver and it was 7000 rp for the day (140 bucks). I have been really happy with his drivers, I have used Rahuls drivers a few times and they have all been very polite and punctual, the only criticism I have, was the tour guide used in Agra as he took us to one of his backdoor commission shops and we couldn't get away, my parents have trouble saying no and this shop keeper was really pushy, and that annoyed me, and I made the tour guide aware of that, prior to going to the shop we were going to tip him, but after that experience and his Tom Cruise persona I didn't want anything to do with him. It was clear he was getting throwbacks from everyone. Well enough of me ranting about that.<br />

I forget how chaotic the place is, but I do really love it.<br />
<br />
When I was here in June the heat was unbearable, so I really liked the cool change. Walking off the plane you could smell the heavy smoke in the air. visibility was pretty bad and I had to laugh when our driver was telling us that rain the day before cleaned up the city... and today was very clear, the look on my parents' face was priceless in the back seat of a car on Delhi's crazy streets.<br />
<br />
After we got to the apartment we grabbed some takeout and ate it while heading to Dr Jolly's clinic for an ultrasound. This was a very strange experience and in hindsight I was a bit naive.<br />
<br />
When we walked into the clinic, it was nicely set up with comfortable couches and quite a few people, all of them stared at us and where clearly trying to figure out what was going on 'who are these white people, and what are they doing?' My surrogate turned up a few minutes later and I went to say hello to her, she was very quiet, and at first I thought she was just rushed and shy (as we all know what the traffic is like in Delhi), but she remained very quiet for the whole ultra sound and didn't look at the screen,<br />
<br />
I think that I may have embarrassed her in the waiting room, being a foreigner I was already getting enough attention. Maybe she was a Little shy and I have misread the situation. But it was really nice to see her and see one of the babies on the screen. <br />
<br />
I want to note that Dr Jolly was amazing, he pointed out and explained everything on the screen and took a lovely 4D picture, I was hoping that I might be able to see something that may give away the gender but had no luck. <br />
<br />
Well its time for me to call it a day.<br />

It's sad but also awesome that a number of blogs I follow are coming to an end with the arrival of so many babies. I really appreciate reading and learning from each other.<br />
<br />
I had a busy first week in Perth and <br />
I didn't want to leave things until the last minute just in case I received that magical phone call a few weeks earlier than anticipated. So in week one I looked at a dozen homes until I found one I fell in love with (which I could afford - I fell in love with a many more that were too expensive.). I also purchased a new family car and had a job interview. I will be moving into the house on 28 march two weeks after I return from India. I figured getting out if India with Bubs is hard enough without the additional hassle of dealing with real estate lawyers etc. <br />
<br />
While I am on half pay from work until may next year I have been really keen to get my foot into the state office over here so I don't have to quit my job next year, as the reality is i wont go back to canberra, for me the best thing is to be close to family for that strong support network and while I love Canberra it is too isolated. The casual job interview went well and they were all lovely so I am hopeful that something part time will come up at the end of the year. <br />
<br />
I have things packed for the babies and have been lent some Phil and Ted baby carriers which are awesome. I'm going to be getting nappies and other bits and pieces when I get there. <br />
<br />
13 days left until touchdown! I better start copying and certifying some documents. <br />

I will keep looking and I am sure the right one will come up.<br />
<br />
Not much else has happened on the India front (which is a good thing), the bubs are about 34 weeks and I still have a whole lot of stuff to get done, while the plan is to leave on the 14th, I hope to to be ready and packed by mid next week.<br />
<br />
I am still really stuck on names, I love old traditional names that are not too common and spelled correctly, I also want to choose a really nice indian middle name, that has a special meaning and starts with the same letter of their surrogate's name. I've found this website and it has been of some help http://www.indiaparenting.com/names/names1.cgi?param1=foreign but I am still very undecided.<br />
<br />
Oh when I was in india in June, I brought my nephews and neices some nice traditional indian outfits, whiles the girls loved them (and thought they were fairy dresses) the boys weren't too interested. On monday my nephew was showing me his room and had the outfit hanging up, so I asked him why he had'nt worn his "royal prince outfit" and told him it was a very special suit, it was funny to watch as he jumped into it straight away. I'm going to try and upload a picture of it. They are really looking forward to seeing their cousins and I love the questions they ask.<br />

<br />
I arrive in Perth tonight. <br />
<br />
For a busy week. Will be looking for a car and house. I have a job interview on Wednesday for some casual work in my departments state office, my job has given me 16 months leave at half pay but I don't want to move back across the country. So the plan is to get me foot in the door and help the state office out if anything casual comes out. <br />
<br />
I have also decided to buy most of the baby stuff in India then bother carrying around 8 tins of formula. I was told not to change formula but after looking into this as long as you use the same type of formula it should be fine. <br />
<br />
I was also will look at using an online baby website. As this may make life a bit easier. I will post the link in my comments, as blogging by this iPhone application is slightly frustrating. <br />
<br />
3 weeks to go until I get to India. <br />
<br />
And here's that link. I have Charlie to thank for this info. <br />

I moved out of the house yesterday, sold my car on Friday and my last day at work is tomorrow. <br />
<br />
My flights to India are booked. I fly to Bangkok on 14th February ($500) then on 18 February we fly to Delhi ($180) the we should be returning to Perth on 14 march (520). I ended up getting a cheap flight by using the qantas India website. It ended up being $300 bucks cheaper than the Australian site I just had to pay in rupees. <br />
<br />
Mum and Dad are really excited and it will be their first time in India. I'm back in Perth next week for three weeks and will try to get them prepared as possible. <br />
<br />
I've decided not to worry about the changes in travel visas as I started this journey before they came about. <br />
<br />

One if my surrogates is back in hospital and has been vomiting. I hope she recovers quickly, hopefully I will get some more information soon. <br />
<br />
I'm a bit nervous about what is happening in India in regards to exit visas. I've seen in a few places that single or gay couples have had some problems and have had to pay bribes. <br />
<br />
I'm interested in hearing what people have done to get through the process. I've applied and received a tourist visa.
