This is WONDERFUL news!!! I have been wondering about you and how it was all going. We had a bit of a second honeymoon in Russia too (we didn't get our girls until a week after court). We loved it also. Your son is beautiful and I can only imagine your excitement!! The jet lag will take a bit of time but you'll adjust. You have been such a great support to so many people on here....enjoy parenthood. It's a blast.
