I know...I know... I took a break from blogging to enjoy time in China and time with Abby Grace. She has really blossomed in the last few days. She talks a bit, although we really have no idea what she is saying. She has used the potty twice and is no longer screaming during her bath time. She is still eating everything and anything we give her. She is exactly the child we prayed for.
What have we been up to?? We had the famous medical examination yesterday. That was not as bad as I have heard of it being. Luckily our agency appointment was right after lunch so it was not very crowded. Abby grace did great, just a few tears. There were several stations: ENT- this was a joke, the guy looked at her eyes and in her mouth then used a squeaky duck and a bell the check her hearing. I loved the weight and measurement station- Abby Grace is 24.5 lbs and 31 inches tall. The medical and surgical station was interesting- I don't know if the doctor (?) was surprised that we were adopting a CL/CP, VSD child but he made sure that I was aware of her special needs. I was kind of like "Yes I know, you don't have to point it out." He made a copy of her heart scan and attached it to her consulate paperwork.
Today we went to the largest flower garden in China. It was very nice but the humidity was awful. We all cooled off with some ice-cream, which Abby Grace loved. I can't wait to introduce her to Marble Slab. The garden was very beautiful.
We walked around for a while and then fed the goldfish in the pond. We had a nice time.
