Today we woke up to a little rain and then it cleared up. We went and had the babies physical examines done and she passed with flying colors. It's really not very thorough if you ask me. We were there for a while because we had 14 babies that had to be seen by 3 different doctors and you had to stand in line at different stations it was a bit chaotic but oh well we made it. From 11am - 2pm Alexandra took her nap and some did mom. As I mentioned I was not feeling well. At 3pm today we had to do alot of paperwork for the finalization for the adoption. We need to stay in our rooms tomorrow between 10:30am and 11:30am to wait for our call letting us know that everything is perfect for the Consulate appointment and oath taking which happens on Wednesday. Other than that tomorrow is pretty much a free day and we are going to do some shopping because we didn’t get it in today.
The weather here was better today hot but not as humid. There was an optional group dinner tonight at the Cow and Bridge restaurant which is Thai food however I had to pass; Nick went with another family and Bob got room service.
Alexandra continues to do well and ate cereal with a banana in it. She is getting much better with the spoon. It's very evident that she has only had a bottle for the last eleven months. She is coming along as is a quick leaner. She is talking more and very active. She loves to go outside for walks in the stroller or baby Bjorn.
We are all looking forward to completing this journey and getting back to the U.S. we can't wait to see everyone and for everyone to meet her. Thanks again for following our story and thanks for your patience.
Goodnight from China!
Bob, Patsy, Nicholas and Alexandra Nicole Ling!
P.S. We miss you all!
