Getting adjusted.

Charles loves his new job. He will get to open a new hotel in Gurgaon, south of New Delhi where we will move at the end of November. He is reviewing the plans and data of the new building. It will have as well private residences were we will be staying in the future. Until then we will live in an apartment.
Our things left Bahrain on the 11th of this month. it will take 20 days to get to Bombay, then will travel by road to Delhi.

I met Frances on line. She has been helping me a lot with customs, doctors, and health concerns. She is part of the "Delhi Network", a women association that help each other. They meet once a month and have "baby groups'.

I miss Bahrain. I miss Canada. I don't really miss Korea but I do miss my friends there. So many things happened in so little time. I even miss (sometimes) being pregnant!!!
Angeline is two and a half months old already. Emilie is such a good sister. And she has grown and learned so much.

Our stay in Canada was shor but great. I had an amazing doctor, Dr. Asswad, and the employees of the hotel were great.They became friends and our family. The owner Mr. Hindi was very welcoming and cared very much about us. Angeline got her Canadian citizenship. She is the only one in the family with a Canadian passport. It was a great "vacation" the one we had in Montreal... We had the best weather and avoided the monsoon season in India.

Right now the weather here is beautiful. About 34 degrees, sunny, everyday of the week. We should expect cooler weather in New Delhi. But again, as in Bahrain, they don't heat up pools in India so the water is cold and Emilie gets sick every time she goes in. So, I think we are going to pass on swimming for a while.

We take things for granted and we don't realize how easy we have it until we don't. I am sure things will be harder in another country so I am trying to be grateful for what I can find in India. For example, diapers. We thought they were bad or just Ok. in Bahrain, well let me tell you...Here they are horrible!!!! You can find pampers made in Saudi but they were out in the store we visited so we buy Huggies made here...All plastic. Then they sell packs of 10. Why 10? Because people can not afford them and buying diapers it is a luxury. They use cloth diapers and potty train very early. So, no complains, we got diapers, plastic or not, we can find them.

Emilie got addicted to "Old MacDonald" by Baby Einstein and it is over now, so I got to go.
