Week 20 gave us a scare, but here we are - week 21.
For those of you in the dark, we spent a couple of nights at the hospital last week. On Thursday evening, we were enjoying our time with the cousins. We were looking forward to a night at the Hilton, dinner and a movie, and celebrating Diwali the following day. 
As we were walking around the mall, Ams stated that she didn’t feel very well - like she had a cinder block on her belly. I suggested that she call one of our friends, who tends to be versed on most matters, to see if she had any advice. 
The friend advised us to call our doctor, just in case. We called the doctor. The doctor told us to come in. We didn’t leave for two days. 
Turns out, Ams was having contractions - most likely due to dehydration and over-exertion. After some hormone shots and an IV, all is well.
Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers. Hope you enjoy the bumpdate below.

I like to explore. I particularly like to explore Old Delhi. While I feel most of India’s capital city has succumb to extreme westernization, Old Delhi has some how kept its charm. When you get off the metro and come above ground, you step into the iconic India you only find in old editions of Nat-Geo.
Last week I got to help a couple of Tofte cousins navigate Chandni Chowk. Here are a few clicks from the Mirchi Market in Old Delhi.

20 weeks. Whoa, whoa. We’re halfway there. 
Unfortunately, it still seems like this whole thing is a universe away. I mean, out of this world, surreal. We have been, and will continue to be, so busy that sometimes it’s easy to get lost in what’s going on and what’s next.
Luckily, Ams continues to gain weight beautifully. She now mildly serves as a visual reminder that we are pregnant and will be having a young ‘un in March. Before you know it we’ll be packing our bags and wrapping up our travels in South Asia. 
Thanks for your continued support. We’ll see you soon. In the meantime, stay tuned for more bumpdates and updates on our travels on this side of the World.
