Doing well, but ready to come home


Everything is still going great. We took DD to the doctor on Thursday, she was up to 7 lbs and the doctor said she is really strong and healthy. Her cord fell off also on Thursday so that was nice to have that gone. She had her first bath in the sink on Thursday too since her cord fell off. She seemed to like it once she was in it. She really is so mellow, nothing really seems to bother her, except a hungry stomach (or when teh doctor is trying to look in her ears or poked her foot!)

We did get registered and that was SOOO much fun! We have an open house/shower schedule for Feb 17th. I am not a big fan of showers so I liked the open house idea a whole lot better.

We were hoping to get the clearance to come home on Friday but no luck. So we are stuck for the weekend and are hoping we hear on Monday and can go home on Tuesday. The first week we were here it was fine, nice to get to know one another with peace and quiet but now we are starting to go a little stir crazy, sick of the hotel and really wanting our own bed! I guess we are thankful for the weather here since they are having record lows in MI and it has been in the 50's and 60's here!

We met another adoptive couple here in teh hotel whose daughter was born 2 days before ours and they just got to go home today. It was nice we went out to dinner with them yesterday. I love the adoption community, it is just filled with amazing, caring, wonderful people!!!

I am going to go ahead and post a picture of dd. We think she is just the cutest!
