November update.....

-Had heart ablation 3 weeks ago. Doing well and off of blood thinner. I get extra heart beats here and there but not that bad.
-Got the report from Illich . Birth family would like to keep in touch with us. We received a lot of pictures of birth mom,grandma,,inside of their apartment and outside also and pictures of the neighborhood and also the hospital Polina was born at.
-Polina is doing well. She talks a lot and in sentences. The potty training is not going too well. she wears underwear during the day at daycare and goes pee on the potty but not poop.Basically we have to buy a lot of underwear because they snip them with scissors when she goes. so every week we buy more and more underwear.
-Mia has 2 teeth on the bottom and we think she may be getting more on the top. She eats food jars and cereal. she just turned 6 months.
-Polina is leaving daycare to stay home with me. so Wish me luck on that one. I am excited and scared at the same time especially when they are so far apart in age.
-We had a wonderful thanksgiving. We went over Randy"s cousins house in New york. I feel like I gained 20 pounds. the next day my sisters house and we ate again. I like Holidays but its so hard to say no to food.
-We celebrated Polinas 1 year with us on November 16th. My family came over and we had good food and cake. Polina thought it was a birthday party for her so we just placed some candles on the cake so she can blow it out and of course my family bought gifts so she was really excited. she loved her ariel dress and cindarella dress. She just loves playing dress up.
-Mia still doesn't sleep through the whole night. she goes to bed at 7 but wakes up at least once or twice a night. sometimes I try to feed her before I go to bed at 10 or 11 and she still wakes up at 3 0r 4 so now I just give up. i just let her sleep and whatever times she wakes up thats when I 'll feed her
