Day 62 Photos (Afternoon)

Luckily today the kids were back out of isolation! The morning was fairly calm, though many of the babies were still cranky. Marius and Cristi had new haircuts when we arrived at the clinic this morning. Many of the babies napped before snack time. Around snack time Daria's mom and sister visited again. For lunch Becky and I had soup and french fries, then went back to our rooms to rest for a while. When we got back to the clinic for the afternoon the children were much crankier. Eventually I got most of mine asleep, then went to help with the mobiles. After medicine time (oral and injection) many of the kids were crying, so it took a while to calm them down. Alina cried for almost 20 minutes straight, even when I held her! I played with the mobiles in the hall while the non-mobiles rested (Gabby came to the mobile room), then eventually I got them all back together before the last bottle. The mobiles were wild like always, and we had to lock ourselves in the playroom with them after about the 12th escape attempt! There was also lots of fighting over toys/attention. Right before bottle time there were lots of tears, but luckily the kids chugged their bottles in no time when they arrived! Of course when Becky and I went to leave the clinic there was a rain/lightning storm going on! We made it back to the hotel wet, but in one piece, then had to wait a while for our dinner to come because we were too early. We enjoyed our pizza and chocolate crepes, then went back to our rooms for an early night! I'm hoping that things will settle down here soon, I'm getting exhausted!
