We have furniture!

It has been a while since I posted anything- sorry for that.  Last week we got our sea shipment and we spent the latter part of the week unpacking.  I should clarify and say that the nanny and Jesy did the unpacking.  I tried to help, but I am really just in the way.  I do work for about 10 minutes and then I get tired and have to stop.  Lucky Jesy.
Speaking of this crazy baby, I went to the doctor last week because I have not been feeling too hot.  Long story short I am having Braxton Hicks contractions (fake contractions according to the Russians), but baby #4 is not coming anytime soon.  So funny because I never had these contractions before.  Of course, I never moved two times during a pregnancy (seriously, who moves twice while they are pregnant) so I am hoping that baby #4 and I have reached a truce and he will be a little nicer to me.  I won't move anymore if he would just calm down a little.  My doctor is so cute.  She is Russian but was trained in Germany.  She kept on telling me that she was following all of the baby protocol they use in Germany.  "Everything fits within the German parameters- you are doing fine".  Well, if the Germans think I am ok I will take it.  We all know they are an orderly people.
The kids continue to do fine.  Colin went to a Russian birthday party the other night.  Swimming, a pirate to entertain the kids, and wine and sushi for the adults.  Major bummer that I could not go (baby #4 again), but I would not have been allowed the sushi and wine anyways.  Hopefully Colin is still friends with this boy next year.  I know my parents are shaking their heads right now, but you will be very happy.  Our nanny bought us chocolates and wine from Moldovo (her home country).  The kids devoured the chocolates.  I had some of the wine (more like a port).  It was quite good and aren't you happy mom and dad that I relaxed a little.  See, these Russians and their drinking is rubbing off on me.
Amalie, Colin, and I had a very pleasant Saturday evening.  Jesy and Kathleen conked out early, and the rest of us sat and watched music videos for about an hour before bed.  Can you believe our MTV station over here only plays videos?  I feel like it's the early 90's and I'm in high school again.  Amalie told me today that because I have been eating so much the baby has been eating alot and that is why he is getting so big.  Thank you Amalie.  And actually, I have been eating less since we moved to Moscow.  Not as much room in the stomach and the food is just not as good.
We came home yesterday to find a birthday party invitation for Kathleen attached to the door.  I had a moment there as Kathleen has never been invited to a party by herself before.  She has always been invited as Colin and Amalie's little sister.  My baby girl is growing up.  Kathleen got very excited as it is a princess party and the party is for her friend Ruby.  K has confused her friend with Max and Ruby from Nickelodeon and could not believe she was invited to their party.  Kathleen has also informed me that when her brother makes his appearance she is going to tell him "No" alot and then she will be nice to him.  She also told me she will not be sharing the baby boppy pillow with him. But she said she will love him and try not to hit him.  I don't know about you, but I feel a Tara/Sean dynamic setting up here.
Jesy leaves for the US on Sunday for a week.  I love when Jesy goes on trips.  He comes back with great treats for me and the kids.  I think it is so interesting that this time his gifts will be from the US.  No one has ever brought me a gift from the US before.  Travel safely Jesy and bring big suitcases!
