Well, we officially made it back to Moscow! Our beautiful baby Beau was born July 25, 2013 at 4:41 am and Scott and I feel so very proud and lucky to be his parents.
 |
| WELCOME BEAU! |
So I just can't stop thinking to myself and smiling: "We did it!"
What exactly did we do? A LOT.
- I had an easy and uneventful pregnancy, despite dividing the trimesters between California, South Africa and Russia. Phew!
 |
| ~35 weeks pregnant in Palo Alto |
2. Scott made it to the States in time to witness the entire 22.5 hours of labor (ugh!) and cesarean delivery. Love that man so much!!

| First family portraits. |
3. 11 weeks postpartum, my heroic mom and I packed and checked 4 giant suitcases + car seat + jumbo stroller bag and boarded a plane from SFO --> NYC for Matt and Beth's wedding (yay, Matt and Beth are getting married!!!);
4. Spent a fun week exploring NYC, visiting with old friends and attended Matt & Beth's gorgeous wedding;
5. Successfully RE-packed aforementioned suitcases (actually 6 when you count Scott's!) and all the baby gear AND flew 10 hours from NYC --> Moscow;

6. On the flight, we were able to get a bulkhead row and Beau got tucked in to one of those hook-on bassinets. He slept like a pro.
