Welcome Home!...Well, not really.

Little Miss S, looking smart after her diaper change.
Well, Allison Z. - my oldest friend! - you were pretty much dead-on (minus an ounce) on guessing Saffron's stats.  Kudos!

We got to bring her home yesterday morning and (so far) changed several multicolored-shits and quite a few pees! And missy wants to eat: ALL. THE. TIME.

The only confusing moment: an impromptu anatomy lesson.  We knew "front to back", but neither of us have much experience with a "pikachu" (as Chelsea Handler would call it).  And girls can spray pee?  Whaaaat?

Our biggest surprise:  She holds her head up and looks around during her burping.  And can absolutely melt these two guys hearts with her cries.

But after nappies are changed, and Saffy is fed, all is well with the world.  Last night was the first in a lot of long nights.

    Wow, I'm impressed you got her in that very cute white outfit, with all the buttons! (speaking from a father who has a squirmer that will not let you lay her down on her back to change her diaper) -- UGH...very irritating). Saffy's a doll, guys...congrats and good luck with everything ahead -- long nights included!

    Awwwwww i am so happy for you guys!!!!!! Yeah I was in your same spot with dealing with her well you know down stairs as she sprayed me and when I ran her to the bath, she pooped on me too LOL gotta love father hood. I wrote it all down in my book fir her when shes older so she knows what she did growing up, and how happy I am to have her. I pray for a qiuck way home and just be calm at the FRRO no matter how much they insault you, just smile.

    Welcome to parenthood where those badges of honour such as pee, poop and milk throwups become part of your clothes. Saffron is adorable and welcome home to your temporary residence in India and hope the process of getting to your real home doesnt take too long!
