PRINCESS MAYA AND GREAT NEWS!!!

SHOWING HER LITTLE ATTITUDE!!!
NOTHING BUT SWEETNESS!!!
SHE IS SOOOOO FUNNY!!!! SHE LAUGHS AT HERSELF.
GETTING READY FOR BED!!!
I JUST LOVE MY COW. THANKS MARY!! SHE IS ASLEEP WITH IT RIGHT NOW. IT IS SOOOOO CUTE.

WELL, WE WENT TO THE EMBASSY THIS AFTERNOON. THEY HAD 15 MINUTE INTERVIEW WITH ME ABOUT MY PROCESS. IT COULD HAVE BEEN WAY LONGER!!! WE GO THE EMBASSY DOCTOR AT 9 AM TOMORROW AND THEN GUESS WHERE WE GO ON FRIDAY????? YOU GOT IT, BACK TO THE EMBASSY. SO, MAYA IS REALLY COMING HOME!!! I WISH THAT I WOULD HAVE DEALT WITH THIS ALONE SOONER. I NEED YOU GUYS TO BE EXCITED FOR ME. I AM SCARED TO DEATH TO GET EXCITED RIGHT NOW.

TODAY WHEN THEY CAME TO THE HOTEL WITH HER I HEARD HER MOUTH BEFORE I SAW HER. WHEN SHE SAW ME SHE GOT LOUDER AND STARTED KICKING AND REACHING FOR ME. THE TEARS STARTED FLOWING. SHE REALLY LOVES ME AND KNOWS THAT I AM HER MOMMY. SHE HAS BEEN THE PERFECT ANGEL ALL AFTERNOON. SHE IS SO FUNNY AND SHE JUST LAUGHS AT HERSELF. SHE IS CRAWLING EVERYWHERE AND PULLING UP. SHE WILL STAND ALONE FOR A SECOND OR TWO THEN SHE FALLS DOWN AND JUST LAUGHS.

THAT IS ALL FOR TONIGHT. MUCH MORE AND MANY MORE PICS TOMORROW. I HAVE BEEN UP SINCE 2 AM SO I AM GOING TO SLEEP WHILE SHE DOES.
