Happy Mothers Day
...to all you Moms and thanks so much for all your advice these past few months. Being shut in with the snow all alone with a teeny one, it was great to post questions and get all your experienced replies. Especially when I posted at 4 am and had a reply by 7 am! Do any of us sleep?
Vietbabe and I are doing great and I can't believe how things have changed from her 3rd month to her (almost) 8th month. I realize now that much of Vietbabe's behavior was because I didn't have her since birth and she wasn't used to her new home. She's gone from a weepy, frightened little thing to a giggly confident 8 month old. And I've gone from a weepy, frightened big thing to a giggly confident Mom (most of the time that is). I used to, in absolute exhaustion (and bad jetlag that seemed to last two months) count the hours until her naps and bedtime. Now I'm out with Vietbabe past 8:30 pm chiding her, "Oh, come on; you're not tired already are you?" What a change. And I also realize that I CAN do this again!!! (Though I may wait a year). Next up: a 3-8 year old boy from somewhere in Africa or India, depending on country need and consideration of language barriers.
Thanks again and enjoy your special day.
