The OctoMom Has NOTHING on me -- 29th Day in Romania Saturday at the Clinic

I honestly didn't hear too much about the OctoMom (Although I did hear a news report where her grandmother said in a tired and defeated voice, "I wish she had just been a kindergarten teacher." LMAO!!)... I tried not to be curious... anyone who willingly has 8+ babies as a single mother is a nut case in my opinion... but today she had nothing on me! LOL Me and 9 babies alone.. yep, that's right bottle time for 9 LOL It was actually fun being alone with the kiddos until Dan came and rescued me but more on that later....

Here are my 9... Petre, Daniela and Marius were still sleeping. Paula is still at the hospital. Notice Mihaela joined us but was stuck in the jumper after bottles because all she wants to do is climb on other babies! LOL

Andreea with the rattle I brought with her in mind -- she can fit her fingers through it and doesn't drop it as quickly as some other noise makers

Gabriela bouncing herself in her favorite bouncy

Alina feeling much better.. she actually ate 2/3 of her bottle without being forced! :-)

Lea-Celine (or just Celine since that is what the nurses and aides call her)
She wanted me to pick her up several times but since I was the only volunteer I just tried to amuse her in her chair. Since she didn't have her braces on she couldn't get down on the floor. And once you pick her up she is yours for the day! LOL Just a wee bit spoiled :-)

Andreea... such a big healthy baby girl...
she is starting to crawl more and more each day

Ion and Andre with their love-hate relationship
Ion always wants the toys that any other kid has... *or*
he wants the volunteers' cameras! :-)

Sweet Ema... her bites are looking much better


Around 10:45 Dan walked in the room and asked me how I was. LOL Very unusual because they don't usually show up on the weekends BUT Mihaela had invited me to go swimming with her and Delia so although I didn't expect them at this time I was excited to try out the new pool in Barlad. Dan drove me back to the hotel and I quickly changed into my swimsuit grabbed the hotel towel and ran out the door. Mihaela, Delia, and some family friends were waiting in the restaurant for me. We jumped into cars and pulled out of the hotel -- we started heading AWAY from Barlad. It was at this moment that I knew I was in for an adventure....
