Today we went to see Zach. Our last visit before we take custody on May 5th. We got the chance to go play outside in the beautiful Russian sun. Zach truly was fearful to go outside. There are a lot of reasons that I will not go into. But he did start to enjoy it and we had a good time.
The bad part was it took us almost two and half hours to get to the baby home. The traffic on the major "road" (interstate) to get there was almost stopped. It moved sooooo slowly. I counted three ambulances and lost track on the number of police we saw MAKE a lane of traffic. Moscow traffic is very scary and overwhelming. Today was absolutely horrible! V&V told us it was because a lot of people are going out of town for the holidays. Speaking of holidays, our translator is going to Yugoslavia to visit family and our driver is going to London to visit family. Don't worry we have other people we can call if we need help! We are well taken care of.
V&V gave Dave and I Russian Champaign today. In order to celebrate Dave's birthday tomorrow. How thoughtful are they! We may have to drink it out of a Dixie cup.
We gave a gift to the baby home today. We asked to do this since the holiday is coming up and technically we are taking custody during the holiday season and we wanted to be able to give it before the regular caregivers are away on holiday. I did not expect it to be so emotional. I of course did not expect the reaction we got. I kept saying to Dave last night and this morning - "... Its not enough... On the 5th we can do something else... " We never were told anything particular that the baby home needed so we went out on a limb. Anyway we choose well and had a very emotional time with Zach's head nurse. Of course when we got back in the car Dave said as I sat in tears, "I told you that was enough". We laughed, because all a long we have both been trying to figure out what gesture could we make to show how truly thankful we are. We think we may have conveyed part of it but we can never truly tell them.
The women who care for him daily are ANGELS! I cannot speak highly enough of these ladies. We are so blessed to know that Zach is being cared for by such caring ladies for the first year of his life and for the next 10 days!
