Paraffin wax

Zhanna Grace!!
Sorry I didn't post last night--actually slept for 11 hours. Slept like a baby--got up every few hours for a snack and a drink--LOL! Anyway, think I have figured out this day/night thing...at least until Zhanna moves in! So far everything is on track, and court should be on February 27th--give or take a few days either way. She'll move in after that.The picture on the left is Zhanna with her caregiver unwrapping her from her nap. Apparently when it is not massage week, the babies get warm parafin wax wraps to help stimulate the muscles while they nap...which is from 12:30 to 3:30 in the afternoon. They seem to sleep through just about anything, and don't wake when the others cry. Will write more later--need to get ready to go to "Malutka"--the baby house to see my daughter!!

Look at those chunky legs!! She looks so healthy and alert!Love the yellow dress on her.. is that one of yours or from "the pile"??Went to Children at Heart last week to get our overseas file notarized... we now need to get them appostilled ....some of our stuff is now getting translated... YIKES!
I do have to say Christine that you are making this journey sound so easy!! You sound so together and at ease!! Hope that we can do the same. Check out those other baby girls.... maybe our daughter is there!!!

Christine-
I love that you are keeping her name...it is so unique and beautiful!!! The Paraffin baby dip is very interesting. What is the ratio of Boys to Girls that the baby house has? I love reading all about what is going on there and what day to day life for the baby's is like there.
It sounds like you and Zhanna are bonding wonderfully...I am so happy the two of you found each other!

I look forward to checking everyday and finding new pictures of Zhanna. I don't think I've ever seen you glowing like you do when you are with her. I'm glad you're keeping her name, it's beautiful and she'll feel so special when she understands. Give her a hug and kiss from me.
Love,
Linda
Chris, are you learning how to do the paraffin wax treatments? I'll swap one for some baby sitting (or baby lessons) when you get home,
XOXO
Love,
Lynn
