Trip to the US

Well, I spent just about 5 weeks back in the good ol' USA and had a great time catching up with friends and family, but I have to admit that I was very ready to come back 'home' to Olga.  

While I was away, Olga took her mom, Svetlana, with her to a doctor appointment where they had yet another ultra sound.  Svetlana enjoyed the ultra sound and Olga was able to show it to me during one of our many Skype sessions (have to love technology!).  She even noted that the baby has my eyes (from an ultra sound???)....at that point I have to admit that I was questioning Olga's sanity, but I let that go.

I returned to Russia with no issues and quite a bit more luggage than when I left.  We bought a stroller and I 'transported' it back with me on the plane, as well as a very large 'baby' suitcase.  Who would have thought that those little things for a baby could weigh so much (the suitcase was overweight!)??  Oh well, Olga and I had a great time going through all of the things and I even put together the stroller.  Of course, I had to take it apart and put it back in the box once Olga had inspected it, as she didn't want it to sit around and get dirty.  To answer the question that many of you are most likely thinking, 'YES', I did this with no objection...she is 7+ months pregnant at this point and there is no sense stirring the emotions.
