Hurray!

First of all, Eirena is on the mend. The obvious implication of that statement is that she was sick. She woke up Friday morning feverish and lethargic. Same with Saturday and Sunday. Today she woke up with no fever, which of course, is when the doctor's office was open. I took her in anyway, just to make sure she is on the mend and it was nothing more than a flu- I didn't really think she had swine flu. The doctor only talked to Eirena, didn't ask me about her sick history and then pronounced her fine, no flu. I had to ask what was wrong, and he assumed it was just a cold. Just a cold? With a temperature that went up to 103 and no snot or cough? I remain suspicious. (We will in fact be switching doctors shortly because if you walk out of the doctor's office annoyed and suspicious about their care and diagnosis, it probably isn't a good situation.) But anyway, Eirena seems to better and for that we are very glad.
Second hurray- Adisu finally has a birth certificate! This is a big step as all of his other paperwork hinges on getting a birth certificate. There had been some software issues hindering the process, but now things seem to be moving forward again. We still don't have a travel date set, but we're a little bit closer now.
Third hurray- well it isn't hurray exactly, but just so the Wee One doesn't get left out, we can see him/her kicking and punching from the outside now. That's pretty fun. It is more amusing than uncomfortable at this stage.
