Medical exams yesterday

Sorry there were no posts yesterday. You might have thought it was because we were out shopping. Yes, we did do that but in actuality, the hotel was having internet issues and we couldn't get on the internet. Sorry if we left you hanging because of that.

Anyway, we had the girl's visa photos taken yesterday and we did their medical exams. Both girls passed the medical exam with flying colors. I have some pictures from the medical exams but I have to download them so I'll probably post them when we get back from our outing this morning. They did take Chloe to have the head doctor look at her forehead because they said she has a slight birthmark on it and they wanted the head doctor to confirm that it was indeed a birthmark (which he did). Lucy weighed in at 17 1/2 pounds and she was 27 1/2 inches long. Chloe weighed 17 1/2 pounds and she was 27 inches tall. Lucy's fever has been gone since we arrived in Guangzhou so she's back to her normal happy little self.

Chloe had a couple of nights of really terrible sleeping, especially the first night we arrived at the White Swan. We don't think she liked the crib because it was very narrow so she's now sleeping on a matress between our beds. And we also think she was hungry so last night we decided to give her some rice cereal before she went to bed and for the first time she slept for six hours straight!! The night before that she was up literally every two hours. And she only had one bottle last night and she is still sleeping and it's 7:15 a.m WOW!

Today we are going to a museum and a Friendship store where we can buy good jade and pearls. We really only have four more days, including today, here in Guangzhou. We leave REALLY early on Thursday morning (like 5 a.m. departure from the White Swan) as our flight is at 8:15 a.m. We arrive at home at 1:30 p.m. EST on Thursday because we are going back 12 hours in time. It will be a LONG day!!!! Please pray that the girls do as well on the plane as they did on the way to Guangzhou.
