Have a most wondeful trip. Try and just go with the flow, cherish every minute with your potential child and take way more pictures and video than you think you need. I thought I was taking a ton of pictures and video and now we are home and I wish I had more!

Have a wonderful trip and remember to try and enjoy it. I was very nervous on my first trip too but I found Moscow to be very pleasant and interesting.
The referral part was tough as we had to turn down our first referral but we were over joyed with the second one. It is the toughest part of journey. We had a great time otherwise. Glad we did some sightseeing because the 2nd trip with a baby during this time might not be a good idea. We did not share with anyone why we were there we were only tourist for the most part...
