Today - two weeks old - was Emily's first road trip, the first time she had something other than a bottle in her mouth (a cotton q-tip for the DNA sample... she didn't like it AT ALL!) and the first time her daddy made her bottle of formula instead of the nurses making it for him (daddy's got a steep learning curve here).
AND it was the first time her mommy picked out an outfit for her! And what was her first outfit? A green winnie the pooh ensemble. Premie size. And it was big on her. Later (post-blowout) she donned a pink velcro onsie we picked up here in Hyderabad, but kept the green pooh hat. I think it is the first of many short skirts her dad will disapprove of. (But then, I picked it out... so how can I disapprove?)
Today's visit to the US Consulate went well! The ambulance ride was fine and we arrived very early. The DNA test went fine and Emily and her mommy went back to the hospital NICU with the ambulance while dad stayed for the second paperwork appointment. Everything was in order! Even the passport photos. So now the wait is on for the DNA test results hardcopy to get back to the consulate so the passport can be issued and the exit visa applied for.
She looks so pretty, and so little... Again, congrats.
ReplyDeleteHurray! I am glad the trip to the Consulate went well.
ReplyDeleteAre they still doing that hard-copy thing? I thought they had finally moved in the direction of accepting e-mail submissions/results. Well BOLLOCKS, as Rose's God Father would say.
ReplyDeleteThey are accepting e-mail result in Delhi and maybe Mumbai US Consulates/Emabasseys but not in Hyderabad. :(
