I woke up at 3:00AM to measure my blood sugar as I do every day. I had been waiting for my sister to call me in case, if she and our mother could get visa to come here. She had not called me yet, so I thought to call her. Then I found out that none of them can come. I had promised them to not be sad if they can't come so I tried to keep my promise. I felt how she sounded sad and my mother was all in tears, but I tried to stay calm. I talked with a very good friend of mine, Charlie, about what happened and why I am so upset ( the woman who interviewed my sister and my mother did not look at any of the papers that they had to prove how we need them to come, including the letter from my doctor ) , and he has been working whole day to help me about that. I knew what a good friend he is, but I am really surprised about how caring he is. He has been sending email out and calling different places to see if he can change the situation. I can never thank him enough!
Relic is a very sensitive boy and could not stay calm. He is the one who is not very active, but after knowing about my sister and my mother's interview, he was so mad that could not stop kicking.
He has been kicking most of the day and strangely, River is not moving. He is the active one and now, feeling him so sad makes me worried. My husband suggested that I try to talk with through the little microphone that we have for them. It helped a little bit, but not much.
Today is my sister's birthday. I had hoped she could get visa to come here and be with my boys for a while. She is crazy about my boys and it could be the best birthday gift to her, but ....
We got a package today from my sister's family, including birthday gifts for me and Christmas gifts for my boys and husband. I wanted to open the boys' presents with my husband, and left his present for him to come and open, but I opened mine : a beautiful set of maternity clothes from my favorite nieces ( they had mentioned that they wanted me to get something from them which is different from any other year, because this is a gift for an only birthday of mine that I am pregnant, and just the thought was so delicate that made me almost crying ). I got a box of my favorite cookies and a hand bag from my sister and her husband. They also had some letters and cards for us which I am going to keep forever. One of my nieces had sent a letter to my boys. The first real letter that they got in their life which was mailed to them. Isn't it awesome ?
