These are from Wednesday the day we left the Baby House. Poor baby was so hot under all of those layers they insist on. Much happier once she was stripped down in the apartment. Beehet is amazing. She came by last night to tell me we are leaving for Almaty on Sunday. She already made our appointment with the US clinic for Monday morning. Then we have some other US Embassy interviews and paperwork and then home!!! I don't have the day confirmed but thinking we will be home on Wednesday the 7th. Can't believe it. Only 2 more days in this apartment.
Maya has been doing well. She is sleeping a ton, wakes up, snaps her head around - what the hell? I'm still here? Then she looks at me, scrunches her eyebrows, oh yeah, I know you. ok. She must be feeling insecure because (like my dogs) she is following me everywhere. We tried to go out last night for dinner with Elise - Maya's first dinner date - but not a chance. She started screaming when I went to get my boots on. I don't really know what happened but that was the end of our outing. Probably too much on the first day home.
Internet connection has been unreliable again. I don't know if I will have any in Almaty. So this may be the last entry until we get home. The trip home should be interesting. 7 hr flight from Almaty to Frankfurt, 7 hour layover in Frankfurt, and 10 hour flight home. Good Lord.
