Day 3 Trip 3: She Is One Tough Little Girl

Today didn't start off very well. Maureen wasn't feeling too well before bedtime and it only got worse by morning. We had to bring Karina to get a physical before she enters the U.S. and Maureen having a really bad stomach ache it was tough getting ready for her physical. We got to the doctors and Karina was great. It was good that we had to go to the doctor's office because then he could recommend something for Maureen's tummy. With her being pregnant we didn't want to take a chance on take any of the Russia medicines. After the Doctor's we got medicine for Maureen. We stopped home so Mommy could take her medicine and get some rest, so it was Daddy and Karina spending some good old fashion father daughter time together. Let me tell you we had a great time. We went to pick our Visa registration and it rained pretty bad. When it rains in Moscow that means there is going to be a lot of traffic. So Karina and I were enjoying time look at some of the sites of Moscow as Igor (or the human GPS as Maureen and I like to call him) drove us around to avoid the traffic. We got to the apartment and our little lady turned into a princess today. She went from eating anything I put in front of her to turning head away at anything that didn't her proper taste standards. A little bit of play time then nap time. After nap time was over our good friends Emily, Dave and their new son Zach gave us a call and invited us to go with them to the Moscow Zoo. Mommy's tummy was still hurting her, but I really want to take her to the Zoo, so yeah it was more Farther Daughter time. It was a little too much for her. It was about a 15 minute walk to the zoo along a busy road. She had the look of fear on her face but she didn't once cry. Even when a really loud ambulance drove by. We made it to the zoo and met Emily, Dave and Zach. Zach I think as a little crush on Karina. I told him become a lawyer or a doctor first and then we'll talk. We made our way into the Zoo and about 15 minutes into the zoo and I started to smell something nasty and it wasn't the animals. We spent a good 10 minutes looking for a bathroom and lets just say Moscow hasn't broadened their minds for Daddies needing to change diapers. The bathroom was nasty anyways. By then it was getting cold and late so we decided to leave and find a place to eat and a restroom to change Karina. Not a place was to be found. We decide that we would come back on Thursday and plan better. I raced Karina home and when I got home there was a mother load in her diaper. The funny thing is I had spoke to our translater earlier in the day that I was worried that Karina hasn't pooped. The ambulance must of really scared the crap out her. The amazing thing is that even though she was terrified and sitting in her own poop for about an hour and half she didn't cry once. By the end of the day Mommy's tummy was starting to feel better so tomorrow we have the whole day to do what ever we want.
