Mr and Mrs Jacaranda are very super overwhelmingly happy to finally announce the very safe arrival of Miss Telia Kate on Born on July 31st at 10.55am Delhi time!!
This has been the first time I have been able to re- access Blogland since my last Blog on Delhi Day 5 so apologies for the apparent delay.
Miss Telia was born via csection at the Eden Hospital and by all accounts hasn't been causing anyone too much grief in the nursery. She weighed in at 3.12kg and by my calculations held on for 38 weeks. Good Girl! At that weight she has claimed heavy weight champion of the NICU and hasn't been hooked up to any monitors or under any lighting as far as I can tell.
She has squwarked once in my presence and that was to say PICK ME UP MUM so I did and she stopped. Good Girl!
Today in "TELIA Day 3" so I am fully expecting to bring her home with me! I will find out for sure when I get to the hospital. She will either have her bags packed and waiting, or she won't!
I would also just like to use Blogland to personally thank my 'new friend' SASKIA for coming to the hospital with me the day Telia was born - in lieu of her daddy who is still frustrated beyond belief with the apparent lack of intelligence at the visa place in Australia! You got it! Still not here! Still no sign of a visa and still not able to get a straight answer from anyone! An it's a TEST I tell you!
BUT WE HAVE TELIA AND THE WORLD IS WONDERFUL DESPITE THESE HURDLES!!
(please don't listen to any advice to travel on a Medical visa!).
And now before I close for the day I would also like to express my eternal gratitude to Dr Shivani and her team working from SCI in New Delhi and to the beautiful nurses at Eden Hospital!
Access to Blogland is sketchy at best and yes most of us here at the moment were most DEFINITELY affected by that big power failure on Tueday (I believe it's made the news WORLD wide so I'm guessing you heard about it!) well guess what . . . That was the day Telia was born!
We like to make a bit of an entrance it seems.

Completely thrilled for you all. Such happiness and joy!
ReplyDeleteYes, the electrical issues are being announced world wide and I am certain I am in good company thinking of all the parents and hoping to be parents there. Am also holding positive hopes and wishes for all impacted by this problem for a fast recovery. Electricity is such a normal part of life these days, people are not apt to be adequately prepared to go without.
Hoping your husband can arrive soon. Can you and your daughter leave for Australia without his arrival first? Good wishes!

ReplyDeleteHUGE congratulations on the arrival of Telia. Really like the name - what's the origin? And start the paperwork before dad gets there. And then do nothing but get to know your precious miracle.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the safe arrival of baby Telia. Enjoy all those cuddles you've waited so long for! It doesn't seem that long ago to us that you started out with just a little bubble...and now you have a wonderful baby girl in your arms. Hope things get sorted out with the visa...I'm pretty sure your little one can get you through anything now!!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! Ugh..the visa...nuff said. Snuggles and kisses to Telia!
ReplyDeleteWonderful news to hear that you are doing well, and that Telia is going to be coming home soon! I cannot believe all the hoops your husband is having to jump thru for this visa. Ridiculous! Yes, we did hear about the power outages in the world news. I wondered how things were being handled over there in the wake of the power failures. Glad to hear everyone is okay, and I assume that power is slowly being restored to everybody. Best wishes!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations of the birth of Telia, beautiful name too!!! Come on stupid visa, Mummy and Telia need Daddy now!!!!
ReplyDeleteNow to organise a 'play' date!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! Heartiest congratulations
