We are feeling good! Another wonderful day full of blessings...
Blessing Number One: Getting to hold the tiny beauty below, one of SCI's newest August babies. While we have blog-followed and emailed and waiting-room chatted with so many of our clinic's other clients, getting to hold her in my arms made it all so real.
She is just perfect, and after a lovely date with our newest Australian friends, we had a renewed sense of confidence that
despite
all the tears,
and all the stress, and
all the uncertainty of it all,
THIS PROCESS DOES WORK AND IT WILL ALL BE WORTH IT IN THE END!
Congratulations and thank you for this blessing!
Blessing Number Two: Visiting Birla Temple. It's official, my favorite sites in Delhi are most definitely the temples. I continue to be captivated by the stunning architecture, the glorious music, and overwhelming feelings of peace and calm. Also, it just kind of amuses me to think that I am walking around outside in India in bare feet (although the temple floors are pristine).
I've also developed an addiction to donating to the gods that rivals Duane's donations to the streets; thankfully, we are each supportive of each others' quests. After donating to both Shiva and Ganesh, we were blessed with good luck twice, though we cannot figure out whether the former resulted in the latter-- probably. Nevertheless, we were the only foreigners to be blessed, and I must say, that those marks on our foreheads certainly elevated our status amongst the natives. When we returned to pick up our shoes from the "foreigners area" we were given free souvenirs-- and trust me, nothing in India is ever free-- and greeted with remarks that "we must be very good people." We received similar comments from other Indians for the remainder of the day.
We are hopeful that the luck remains with us (guess who has refused to wash her forehead for the last 24 hours) as our egg retrieval will be this evening! Stay tuned for updates regarding the grand finale of our trip!
