Day 5 final day :(

Well today was my last two visits with my baby girl.  It started out rough all around.  By 8:30 last night I was out I slept for about an hour- hour and a half and woke up thinking I was late for me visit....panic!  Phew nope still pm back to sleep.  11:30 pm woke up to fireworks going off wide eyed and bushy tailed.  Keep in mind I don't leave for my visit until 10am.  So I forced myself back to sleep and slept until 5am no more sleeping.  Talked to my mom, facebooked and got breakfast yep and still had time....  So by the time I left I had been going for 5 hours.


Today was beautiful weather wise no rain just sun!  So Sophia and I spent our time outside.  She loves to drag a purse with her when she goes walking.  Normally not a big deal but while dragging my purse she stumbles and lands on the purse there is a buckle on the front of it... Yep she scraped her face, bit her lip, and I'm not convinced that she didn't bruise her cheek and nose.  After some heart breaking tears for a few seconds it was all giggles as usual.  But I did get to be a momma and hold her and kiss her boo boo.  I wish we had been home so I could have cleaned her up but I did the best I could.     
I took her back and we found the Dr just as she was leaving and let her know via English (She speaks Russian) but I think she understood she seemed ok with it.  So we went back out to play some more.  When Boris and Irina arrived I asked Boris to let the caregivers know so they would be aware and not think I was trying to hide something.  Sophia is a very independent little girl which I think is great and encourage that but with that is going to come some bruises and scrapes I know but when you feel like your under a microscope having her in a bubble would be ideal.  


So I beat myself up a bit and thanks to some supportive adoptive momma's I feel better. 


Second visit went much better.  She is so tired by the second visit I feel so badly for her.  I wish there was a rocker I would rock her.  My back and leg were killing me first time all trip so I sucked it up and we walked.  :)


I also well we (thanks to all your support) donated diapers, diaper cream, and wipes for Sophia's groupa.  And per the Dr we donated vitamins and medicine I am told is for the belly and something to promote the brain.  



Someone left toys today so we checked them out and out all the toys the ones I brought and those left Sophia's favorite were the blocks.  I took note.  She was so cute she started stacking them all by herself.  Funny she seemed to get very upset at the blocks when they didn't stay stacked and fell over LOL
I hope the video works.


Ok I need to go as this is the last entry from Russia I will be leaving in just a few hours to head to the airport.  A final From Russia with love.






The proceeding were the before the boo.  The following are the post boo boo.

  3. Love the video. She is so like Max. He throws everything when he's frustrated. He used to bite a lot. He always has to be chewing on something. And he still has a bit of reflux. Do note that all of the above is getting better as he gets older!
