Olivia was waiting by the window as always; though she didn’t run right to us this morning. She wanted to play first. I think she is showing more signs of security. Though when they brought the baby in and papa was holding it she kept shaking her head no. I am not sure what she was thinking. We hope that she doesn’t think that we are considering another child over her. It is hard to explain things to her since we have the language barrier. We tried to make sure that she didn’t feel that we were focusing too much attention on the new baby.
We also had our translator explain that we would not be able to come on Sunday, but that we would come on Monday. Last night I had a dream that we were discussing the babies name and that we wanted to giver her the middle name Pearl, after my sister Stephanie… which was ironic since today we learned the baby’s name means Pearl in Kazak.

Your child is like GOLD. She has a huge smile in all her photos despite looking like she feels horribly uncomfortable. Count your blessings for getting this little one, she has a lot of special things to teach everyone.
Funny that you used that word... GOLD. When we were going to meet her we were told "Olga is like GOLD here". She is one special girl and we feel lucky to parent her. We are grateful for her happy and cheerful attitude, it makes this journey through the difficult things more enjoyable for us all :)
