2 More Days



Well, we got food poisoning. As if the morning sickness wasn't enough. Sheesh! Yesterday was NOT a good day and today we slept most of the day. By afternoon, I knew I just wasn't up to the trip out to the orphanage. So, once again, Mike went alone.
Mike said Zeb didn't want to come to him at first, but then he warmed up. Zeb played a little but was more needy today than he has been. They spent a lot of time just sitting on the sofa and snuggling. At one point, Zeb looked up at Mike, stuck out his bottom lip and started crying. We haven't seen him cry before. Mike said he had real tears! And being the compassionate mommy that I am, I asked if he got any pictures of that. hehe Of course he didn't! He was consoling the poor boy. Mike said it was very obvious that Zeb missed me today. His world just wan't right.
Only two days, sweet Zebadiah. Then no one will be able to get us apart!












One of Zeb's favorite places to be. Looking out the window.

You made me cry! Triple threat: you both with food poisoning, Zeb missing YOU, and Zeb longing to be on the outside. SO ready for you to be perfectly healthy. SO eager to hug all three of you. Praying for NO more sickness of any kind, lots of sleep on all flights back home and while in Moscow. My favorite numbers: 9/10/11!!

I can see his skinniness in that video. Can't wait to see him fatten up! :) So glad you're starting to feel better now. Ugh, ugh, ugh. Food poisoning in another country while pregnant. Not fun!

The big, joyful smiles are missing from these pictures when Mama is away. I can sense his trepidation. Not that he doesn't love his daddy, you can see he does in previous pics. When you both leave the orphanage with him Friday, I just can't imagine all the emotions he will feel: excitement, joy, fear, hope, confusion. Beyond the wall, beyond the windows, his brave new world is beginning. I can barely contain my excitement to start sharing it with him!
