I received an email from our translator today. The team is in Sterlitamak with the couple from Richmond Hill. They took Dania's passport photo today. The translator took a photo of it and sent it to us!
I miss her.
It's been one week and one day since we returned.
I've had a few long conversations with my mum, sister, and a few friends here, but I've been rather reserved with my excitement. I do most of my big emotional blubbering while alone. One cousin called me on it today, and I have to admit that it is because I am still guarded about her being mine. She isn't yet and I don't want to jinx it! I keep it all in but then I randomly explode at random people and have to tell them everything! I did this with the receptionist at the vet, the hair dresser, and a random store clerk. I pull out the photos, can't stop talking, and usually start crying. As soon as I leave I feel guilty because I just got all excited and she isn't even mine. All of these people have asked to meet her when she is here... what if it doesn't happen? I also have so much excitement and eagerness drummed up amidst my family and friends... what if I disappoint them too? I know I shouldn't worry, but how can I not?!?!
GAH!
Back to the photo... sweetest passport photo ever...
When do you get le court date?
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, most adorable passport photo ever!!
ReplyDeleteAnd Jessa-- you are a Mom-To-Be-- when EVERYTHING is up in the air until you have her home in your arms. Even a pregnant lady in her third trimester can lose her baby, making it not final until they arrive home from the hospital. You shouldn't be holding back your excitement-- the optimism vibes will spread right over to Russia. You and Mike have done everything you can, and if you two aren't good enough, then NO ONE is. You, Mike, and Dania belong together.
Love you bunches,
Jen
Bet you can't wait to brush her little bangs! :) What a cute passport photo. Oh man.
ReplyDeleteCute photo! ...Jessa, rest assured, you will not disappoint anyone. We are all behind you and loving you all the more for all you are going through.
