So we are home from Bangalore, and I have to say, I appreciate every single little thing about our beautiful slice of heaven here in the Bay Area. If I ever whine about not having enough of this or wanting more of that, somebody, stop me please.
The trip home was hellish, 9 hours to Frankfurt and another 11 to San Francisco. It was the most painful 24 hours of my life (2nd to labor of course), and I was prepared to kiss the Peninsula ground as soon as we touched down.
We are giving it a week to make a decision about whether we will move or not, I really need some distance to be able to think clearly and not just respond emotionally (in which case I would say Hell No) about the challenge of moving to the other side of the world (figuratively and literally). We did decide, however, to have the baby here, a decision I am very comfortable and happy with. Now to decide, a home birth or back to the hospital. Ah, isn't life wonderful, so full of complex choices.
I will post a link to all my pictures which turned out just ok, I really didn't have the time to compose shots like I would have liked. Some of the best came from the Russell Market, a produce and meat market that is bustling and smelly and piled with foot long okra and tiny eggplant. Really, a sight to behold, I'll write about that soon.
Finally, a warm thank you to everyone that has sent me words of support and love, even just to hang in there, it helps to know I put all this out there and people do read it, it helps to know that even though I am so very far away, my people are still right next door. So thank y'all.
Welcome home, dear. As hard as it may seem now, I think you'll know it when the time comes to make those choices. No rush! Think with your mind and your heart - roads will follow! Thanks for sharing all your experiences.
