I'm a dork...

I JUST realized that I had set this blog to moderate comments...meaning that I had to approve all comments before they can be posted to the blog. The thing is...I didn't realize that I had marked that setting and I just thought that nobody wanted to comment!

Sorry about that! I just read through a ton of comments from referral on...thanks!

And so it begins...

Maya had her first pediatrician appointment yesterday. If you've read my China Trip blog..you know that she was not very fond of the medical exam in China..this was no different. Dr. O'Neil, however, is a very kind and patient man. He wasn't fazed in the least..of course, he does this everyday so I'm sure he's used to it. Maya screamed. She screamed very LOUD! She was terrified and pissed off...and I don't blame her one bit. But by the end of the ordeal, she was proclaimed one healthy little girl. Dr. O'Neil did a full check-up and found nothing out of the ordinary. I do have to provide some "samples" for him on Thursday and they will check her TB test. She didn't like that, either...but can you blame her? He has ordered some blood work which I will take her to get on Friday. Ugh...that is NOT going to be fun!

So...for those of you keeping track at home, Maya is 20 lb. 13oz (15-20th percentile on weight) and 30 inches long (45th percentile on height). She appears healthy and he is not concerned about her nutrition. Her hair, nails, skin all look as though she has been properly fed. He checked out her mobility and that looks ok, too. He suggested that perhaps she was not encouraged to walk all that much, and I would have to agree with him. She'll be taking off in no time and I'll be wondering where my little cuddle-bug went!

Here are a few pictures from yesterday...

Got yogurt?

Don't I look precious in my new hat?

For real..don't you think we've had enough
airplanes for one week?

We are home!

I am switching back to this blog for updates on our progress as we begin our life together back in the United States. It is SO good to be home!

For anyone just tuning in...I journaled our trip to China. You can click here or find the China Trip link on the right side of this page.

Stay tuned!
