Ladies I loved reading your comments on my last post and Dr. Loretta's below- thank you! We arrived safely. The flight was okay; the entertainment system was down so there were no movies to watch. And it was really hot on the plane! Those Russians love to keep warm; all the building here are so hot too! I bet they had it at 75* on the plane. We ended up (trying) to sleep for most of the trip. But we made it with no issues and are about to go to bed!
We're picking up Arie tomorrow morning!! First task as new parents is to get his passport photo taken and then go to the passport office to apply for his passport. Can't wait to get that done and come back to our apartment for our first lunch together! And potentially a nap.
Thanks again for all your support!!
