Travel Journal

All clear on the TB test! Thanks for your prayers. She hated even going back to that place, so I can't even imagine if she'd had to have the chest X-ray!

We're so ready to get home, although today was a nice free day! We went to the pearl market with Ann from Redthread. She knows how to bargain! Any of you who are adopting, she's wonderful! Mei Mei wore out pretty quickly though. After her nap we plan to go shopping for squeaky shoes on Shamian Island and get her name done in Chinese calligraphy.

She's sleeping very well, although has the occasional bad dream where she wakes up crying. Probably nightmares about the medical exams!

When I first got her she'd try anything to eat, but now has suddenly become very picky. She does however, unfortunately, like French fries best! Girl after my own heart.

She weighs 22-23 pounds according to her medical exam. Tiny little thing, but strong as an ox!

I've been battling quite a bad ear infection...not what you want before a long flight. Getting better though. So thankful Dillon recommended we bring along precautionary antibiotics.

Sure do miss home! See you all soon. In the meantime here are a few pics..,




(still lovin' my cool shades!)

(met this little 14 month old at the airport. Gives you an idea of Kaylee's size!)

Tomorrow is the big day! The swearing in at the US consulate! Almost an American, little Kaylee Mitchell!
