Were In Guangzhou







Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't posted lately. I was deathly ill. We all have had some sort of bug and the grandma's have it now. But I had it BAD!. Today we did Karlee's medical exam and all is good. She weighed 17 lbs and is 28 1/2 inches long! She is very tiny otherwise. Everything she has worn is 6-9 mts and some of it is too big. She has no booty at all. She does have a few Mongolian spots and has the usual chinese flat head in back. We were kinda feaked out about that but after speaking with many BTDT parents, they assured us it will round out with more belly time and sleeping on her sides. Flat heads is ver common. However, we will ask the Dr. when we get back home too.

The White Swan is so nice. Our room overlooks the river and is all lit up at night. It looks like Vegas! I haven't gotten to shop much, it not easy when you have child in arms. We got a stroller so that should help a bit. Karlee loves it as long as it is moving, once you stop she lets you know it! Actually she lets us know when she not happy for any reason. It hasn't taken us long to figure out when she hungry, wet or sleepy. For the most part she is a happy little girl. Duane can really make her laugh. He has been so great and such a hands on daddy. He looks like a he's done this all his life. Not that I ever doubted he wouldn't be, just its neat to see. He has done the majority of the poopy diapers. Being sick and so nauseated I just couldn't stomach the stinch.

Duane and I went to Lucy's, an american style restaurant for lunch and it was very good. We will be eating there every day for luch for sure. Did I mention Guangzhou is much nicer than Beijing and Nanchang. The a/c is cold, the beverages are cold and you can get ice! Well, here is what you all want, so enjoy the new pictures of Karlee.

O.K. I'll try this again. I don't think it went through the first time. We love how you did this blog. It's such a great way to capture your wonderful journey. Karlee is just gorgeous!!!!! We can't wait to see her in person. Nicole and CJ loved the pictures also. Have fun over there and be safe. Duane, I still have your putter but I doubt you'll have time to use it anyway. The Dodgers are still in first place despite losing 2 out of 3 to the pathetic Astros. I'll have to give Jeff our pitching lineup later. Mya, I hope you feel better. Lay off the Chinese food. See you all soon, Randy and Cora

Sorry to hear that you were sick and that the Grandma's are now. You little Karlee is an absolutely BEAUTIFUL little girl!
One suggestion....the ice has not been boiled and is therefore considered contaminated....at least that is what our agency told us, so please be careful!
Many Blessings,
Peggy
