I am so excited!!! All went well at the embassy and we are going home on Sunday. We had the appointment at the embassy on Wednesday. We arrived at 2:00pm and by 3:30 we were on a taxi going back home. It did not take very long and they were very nice!!. They did not ask for additional paperwork and they just told us to go the following day to pick up the visa at 2:30.
Camila fell asleep on the way home so as son as we arrived I put her in bed. She was sleeping like an angel and she was so tired she did not want to wake up. I had to start making noises so she would wake up because I knew if I let her sleep too long she would never go to bed that night.
When she finally woke up she was hungry and wanted to play. So I made her a sandwich which she did not like!! She only ate the bread. I also gave her some fruit and yogurt. Then she decided she wanted to sing,dance and play .
At around 8:30pm I bathed her, we skyped with daddy and then I put her in bed. She did not want ot go to sleep. At one point I fell asleep for a few minutes and she was still playing with Pipe(baby doll dressed like a pig),osito(her teddy bear), piolo(singing seahorse) and mu(the cow). I then vaguely heard "mama" and I woke up! Shortly after that she fell asleep and so did I. My mother in law was laughing, she said I was so wore out that I fell asleep before Camila.
Today we woke up at 7:00pm and we hung out in our pijamas until 11:30am. We sang, danced and played! Camila loves to sing and dance. She is such a happy baby and she cracks me up with the things she says. I do not know if 2 yr olds usually talk this much but Camila repeats everything she hears as I said before she is like a little parrot.. she takes after me : )
At 1:30 we took a taxi and went to the embassy. My luck as soon as we arrived they informed us the systems were down and we would have to wait for a while. We finally got the paperwork at around 4:00pm. Camila slept in my arms for a little bit and the rest of the time we played. She was very good until we were in the taxi. Poor thing was tired, wanted her tete and she was desperate to get home. She started screaming in the taxi. I was finally able to calm her down by playing with her and singing los pollitos. I do not have a very good voice but she loves for me to sing to her. Traffic is horrible in Bogota but when it rains it is ten times worse. We got home like at 5:00pm, We got our tickets and we are ready!
The rest of the evening we hung out with Cesar's aunt Aura and my mother in law. We played, then we had dinner, then we played some more!! At around 8:00pm I bathed her, we skyped with Cesar and then put her to bed. She asked me to sing los pollitos until she finally fell asleep.
Cesar arrives tomorrow and we cannot wait to see him. When I put Camila to sleep tonoght she asked for papas pic and she stared at yhe pic for a while. Then she gave the pic tons of kisses, she hugged the pic and the whole time she was saying papa, papa, papa. I wonder what she will do when she sees him tomorrow.
Colombia had treated me very well this past month. Cesar's family has been awesome. I love them all. This whole time I have felt very loved, blessed and more than anything I never felt alone. I thank them from the bottom of my heart for everything they did for us and for the support they gave us.
That's all for now..
What wonderful news!!! I bet you are looking forward to getting back home with your daughter! She is soooo precious. I loved the pictures. Best wishes to all of you for a happy life together! Patty
