Hallo to all of you,
We have opened our blog to public now. Sorry, for not keeping with all of the news but there were too many things happening in past weeks.
We meet our baby Nadia on her 1st birthday August 6th; we even celebrated with cake and one candle.
The moment we saw her we knew she was our long waited child; she seemed so healthy and happy.
Sorry but there will be no photos until court decision comes in full affect, next week.
We had court hearing on Friday September 12th, it all went very fast. Mrs. Judge was late for hearing over 1.5 hours and once she arrived at 5p.m entire process didn't last more than 15 minutes... ohh we cried and celebrated at the same time... later that night we met with our dear friends Shelle and John Pendergrast, they had baby Luke with them. he is super cute toddler... smiling all the time... we also met Jena and Pete who are in Moscow to bring their two children home, they also had a court date few days before us.
Mrs. Judge and orphanage director were so nice that they allowed us to keep Naida with us for 10 day waiting period.
That was awesome from them so, Saturday 13th (our lucky #) we went to bring Nadia home with us. She was very happy baby and didn’t mind leaving her only place she knew till then.
Two of her favorite care givers were there.
Mrs Lyudmila and Mrs. Marina, they both cried as we were leaving, that made me cry too.
On the way home we stopped to take Nadia's passport photos. She was totally fine with new places and events.
We got home (our Russian apartment) and she had to take a nap, no problems at all. First night she slept OK till about Midnight and then she woke up. She needed new diaper and her bed was all wet, so I took her in my bed. I watched her all night sleep… she is so beautiful to me…
Tata (dad) Brad went many times to the local store that day and evening, but on the end we had everything she would need for the night. He is trying as hard as me to find the best way with her. She loves to hung out with him, they make faces together and then laugh bout that together.
Nadia is used on very tight schedule and we were told to try to keep that as long as we can.
So that is what we are doing now. She takes two naps a day and eats every 4 hours, but she also sleeps 10-11 hours every night.. That is awesome for me.
We are taking short walks with her every day and she already loves outside... She laughs entire time while outside, she is pretty interesting.
Brad and I are still learning how to go about many little things, but every day we are doing so much better.
Yesterday, we tried to alter her schedule to one big long nap, but we ended up with very very cranky and tired child, so today we went back on doing what she is used to, and she is doing great...
I am exhausted at this point and I am going to sleep like a happy mommy…
We will keep you posted as we catch some time, in her busy schedule…
and photos will come after Tuesday when our 10 days is expired and NO ONE can take her away from us...
