Day Fourty

Paula had left for the doctor by the time we got there this morning, but I was able to say goodbye to her last night, luckily. The babies were still pretty fussy today, but they were a little happier than the last couple days. Baby Andreea is able to sit up on her own now; not for a long time, but for a while, and she’s not even four months old! I also weighed most of our babies this morning, and almost all of them are within two pounds of each other (Alina: 10.02, Ema: 13.5, Andreea: 13.76, Marius: 14.02, and Mihaela: 15.4). Alina was only nine pounds a couple weeks ago, she’s gaining weight pretty fast even though she doesn’t eat much. We found out after lunch that Cristi and Sammy will be back tonight! That means we will get to see them tomorrow for our last day, which is very exciting! This afternoon the babies were happier, and they all did pretty well with their bottles, but we stayed inside because it was cloudy and a bit chillier than the past couple days. Alina did a little fashion show for the group in a dress Jane had sent for the summer, but then we had to put her back in a sleeper because the aides thought she would get cold. Tonight we are going out to a final dinner in Barlad.
