In Sofia!
I am in Sofia, relaxing at the hotel. It is Sunday morning here, and in a few hours, we will be on our way to Valerie's region! Ahhhh!!! :D I am so excited. The hotel here in Sofia is really nice. My attorney, Toni, is wonderful! I have a cell phone that she gave me. Skype is not working out too well so far, but I was able to buy a calling card. A sweet friend of mine offered to take care of my skype for me (it's probably not going through because I am trying to run my cc while in Bulgaria), but I am not positive (or don't remember, not sure which) that the hotel in Kaspitchan has internet, so I may have to use the calling card anyway, so I figured I'd wait and see. ;) The boys are doing well back home. Aiden and Elijah have not even really noticed I am gone, they are having too much fun. Kieran is having a bit of a hard time, he misses Mommy and brothers, but Grandma is taking wonderful care of him. :) My mom is so awesome. I am so glad that I don't have to worry about my boys. I do worry a little that Kieran is wearing my mom out, but I know she is taking great care of him. The other boys I am not even concerned about, but in a few days I might worry about Kimmy's sanity. Lol! I haven't talked to Evan yet since I've been here, but he sent me an email saying he would be online soon, so I am waiting to take my shower until he shows up. I forgot a breast pump, so I think I will be taking a lot of showers, if possible, to help relieve my discomfort. I'm a little concerned about developing mastitis or milk fever, hopefully that does NOT happen!! Prayers appreciated, getting sick while in Bulgaria is the last thing I need! It is still dark here, but once it is light I will try to take a few pictures. The hotel here in Sofia is really nice! I'll try to take tons of pictures on the way to Valerie's region, too. I received some updated paperwork from Toni on Valerie. It goes a bit more into detail on her disabilities, but I don't really know anymore than I did, except that they expect her to be permanently mentally deficit. My poor baby. I am hoping that when she gets home, she will prove them wrong, prove that all she needed was a loving family. BUT God called us to Valerie, and no matter what her needs are, we will love and cherish our little girl! She has grown some, but according to the report she has only gained a pound in the last year. She is 36" tall and 23 lbs, so she is quite small for her age as well as being quite underweight even for her height. I'll see tomorrow for myself! I can't wait!!!!

I am so happy you are finally there and adopting the daughter you dreamed of having! I am looking forward to following along with your adoption journey.
Take care fo yourself, you may need antibiotics if you are getting mastitis, oh no.
Thanks, Kris!! :) I was able to get a breast pump here, all of 5 leva. It works fine for expressing enough to make me comfortable! Toni and her family have been AWESOME.
