good to be functioning again

Thanks to all you kind people for your comments and phone calls, and to the friend that brought us dinner over the weekend!

I am so happy to feel capable of getting out of bed in the morning and being a mommy! What a blessing! My awesome husband let me rest in bed all weekend and the powerful antibiotics kicked in as Annie predicted.

So how long till this deep-sounding cough goes away? I still have some meds left, but am anxious to be healthy again.

The good thing about being in bed all weekend was that I could work on my laptop without kid interruptions every 30 seconds! I made huge strides in digitally scrapbooking Isabelle's baby book! (Yes, I know I still have 3 baby/adoption books to go after hers, but what can I say?)

Today our social worker came for our 1st post-placement visit. For those of you that don't know, when you adopt internationally, most countries want "post-placement reports" for a number of years, basically to let them know how well their little natives are doing in their new locale. I remember when we were researching countries to adopt from, Kazakhstan required a report each year until the child was 18 years old! Luckily for Russia we only have to do 3 more after this.
