I loved how the babushki on the streets would call me a "Hero of the Motherland" when they saw all those kids. But it was weird at times, too -- I mean, obviously I was a "rich American" since I could "afford" all those kids. (When anyone in the States who saw our salary would have laughed!)<br /><br />Sounds like you have a good plan. . . You might also like "meeting" online a friend of mine in Kyiv who is a doula / maternal health advocate:<br />http://birthinukraine.wordpress.com/TulipGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10491713586488210547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27155002.post-61035525928098344012009-04-10T08:27:00.000+04:002009-04-10T08:27:00.000+04:00I am so happy for you and CYD and all of the CYC (...I am so happy for you and CYD and all of the CYC (code yellow children). <BR/><BR/>So, I'm guessing she will be "Baby Jane Code Yellow."

I have learned too well to NEVER comment on the size of a pregnant lady. Just tell her she looks radiant, and leave it at that.<BR/><BR/>P.S. I nearly fell off the chair in laughter when I scrolled down to type in the word verification.

So your little girl will be a British citizen? <BR/><BR/>I guess we are slackers-we had 4 in 9 years. :) We would have had Pedro sooner but the medical care in Small Town, Mex. was absolutely awful. <BR/><BR/>But his birth in Mexico City was the best of the 4 that I had, care wise. I know just what you mean about being out of place amongst the elite locals. <BR/><BR/>Such an adventure...Gabrielahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17985263633595003247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27155002.post-62714144651703125922009-04-09T21:00:00.000+04:002009-04-09T21:00:00.000+04:00Well, that was a packed post!

I admire you for having a baby with all of the crazy stuff you'll need to do--go to London, be without your husband in the evenings, that kind of stuff! You are indeed a strong woman (or crazy?). <BR/><BR/>I'm with you on loving the "shock and awe." When we had our 4th our oldest was 5, so we got it too. We continue on with saying, "They're all boys."<BR/><BR/>I wish you few potholes, rest, and lots of brotherly love at your house!Janellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09361445254824779708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27155002.post-44087063816918230242009-04-09T19:24:00.000+04:002009-04-09T19:24:00.000+04:00So thrilled that it's a girl.

It makes me want to meet you and give you a hug... because you are so tough and so much braver than I am. :)<BR/><BR/>Four under seven is impressive even if you don't live in the Ukraine. I had four six and under... but I cheated and had twins so... it doesn't really count. My sister, on the other hand is expecting number four and she will have 4, 4 and under. Yeah. I don't envy her at all. (she had twins too... so again, cheating, but still.)Jenny P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16632739365854048008noreply@blogger.com
