Maia threw us for a loop today when she woke up sick to her stomach. After some deliberation we decided to take her to a local clinic. We now have some specialized formula, the Bulgarian equivalent of Tylenol, and some medicine for vomiting. She has not been sick again, praise God, but we are prepared just in case.
Today was full of milestones - some of which were caught on camera.
After downing half of the prescribed dose of probiotic formula, Maia decided she wanted more. So she crawled off the couch, crawled over to the empty bottle on the floor, picked it up and brought it to me! She continued to push it into my lap until I got up to get her more. :). Who needs words?! She's got this communication thing figured out!
Speaking of words, she was clearly trying to say "peek a boo" today!!! Craig got it on video, but I can't figure out how to get if off his iPad and onto my blog, so you will have to wait a bit for that. Or find it on Facebook if you are friends with us.
She continues to amaze us daily as we watch her already overcoming obstacles. She is such an amazing example of grace and redemption. We are SO blessed to be given the opportunity to parent this sweet child of God. It not takes her about 30 minutes to fall asleep now compared to the 4 hours it took the first night.
After an afternoon of resting and recouping we met with our bulgarian agency one last time to gather the official paperwork. Everything is now done and ready to go!! We are SO excited to be heading home tomorrow. I miss Nathan and Alex so much it hurts. I miss American speech and American food as well. :)
Hang on, family. We're coming soon!!!
Catching up, Amy! I recognize that lion in front of the MOJ building! Sounds like you're all hanging in there just fine!
