4th Meeting

We got to see Nastya again for the 4 time this afternoon. It feels so natural now and she is already used to us. When she saw Ben today at the door she came running to him with arms up. she wasn't totally dressed yet and the care giver took her away to get dressed. That was the first time we heard her cry. Then the caregiver came back w/ her clothes and let us dress her. She was so excited and full of smiles. When we went outside she went right to the sand box. A little boy came over with a crown of dandelions that his caregiver had made. It was so sweet. We put them on her and she looked like a princess.

We had a shortened visit though because.... WE GOT TO MEET VICTORIA (VIKA)!!!!!! Her room is on a whole different level so the two girls don't even see eachother. They don't even know they are sisters. She is still recovering from chicken pox and the medicine the hospital uses looks like a green ink that has been put all over the spots. She is literally green! Because of that, the care givers did not want pictures taken of her. So unfortunately we don't have pictures yet but tomorrow, the meds will hopefully have faded some. SHE IS SO SWEET. The two nurses that look after her say that they love her so much and they want us to really love her. They said she is so good natured and usually full of smiles. She is very mellow and gentle. She had just been woken from a nap so she was very mellow and seemed low in energy from being sick. You can tell that she has really bonded with her nurses as soon as she goes to them she smiles very big and they kiss her and love her. So, I am so thankful for that. When we got to hold her, she layed her head on each of us and snuggled in, it was really sweet. We only had about 30 minutes with her so that she could rest but we should get some more time tomorrow. We're not sure yet if we can have the 2 girls together yet because their schedules are different. We'll see..... tomorrow we sign official papers saying we choose these girls... and YES we do.
