Ed. Note: At the time I wrote the following message to our families, names had not yet been finalized or announced.
On Saturday morning we welcomed to the family our two newest Gotham Wingards. We have
a boy and a girl, born on Saturday, August 24, 2013, local (India) time.
The boy was born at 11:56 a.m. local time (11:26 p.m. Pacific time on August 23rd)
weighing 1.87 kg. (4 lbs., 2 oz.) and the girl was born at 11:57 a.m. (11:27
p.m. Pacific time on August 23rd) weighing 2.18 kg. (4 lbs., 13
oz.). They arrived earlier than expected but still made it to week 34 and both
are healthy and strong. Names are still pending but should be announced
soon, and our new departure date for India is not yet determined.
How
we heard, or “Welcome to our normal.”: Ken, who is in Los Angeles filming
HomeMade Simple, called me at home asleep in bed in San Francisco at 3:25
a.m. He had just read via an email from our agency in India that our
surrogate had gone into labor and the babies were coming. Ken was thrilled and near tears with excitement, which is what he does. I was excited
of course, but I also went into total panic mode which is what I do. “These babies are coming too early! Will they be
okay? When are we going to fly to India? Ken is scheduled to be in
LA for another three weeks. How are we going to get Coco to Savannah
before we go to India! Oh my god, what if they're not Virgos! This is not going according to the schedule!!!!”
Ken
then called back again at 5:03 a.m. with the good news. Two babies.
A boy and a girl. Both healthy. (Both Virgos.) “Whew.” And I admit that I
then fell back to sleep.
