Today the rains fell. It rained and rained. However, we did
not let it stop us from getting out and enjoying the day. We started
by taking our laundry to have it cleaned. Then we walked around
Shamian Island and browsed and enjoyed talking to the shopkeepers.
At 2:45 our guide Judy came to the Victory Hotel to meet us. We were
escorted to have Gabriel's passport photo made, (really cute I might add),
then we walked a few doors down for his medical exam. The great part
was the fact that there was no waiting, we happened to be the only family
there due to the on and off again rains. We were taken back immediately
and after a 5 minute exam we were finished. We were then taken by
private bus to arrange for his visa and passport. We met up with
several other families that we knew while there. Joe and I were
sitting with Deb and Piper (for those who do not know, Deb adopted Piper
from the same CWI as Gabriel, and we corresponded a few times prior to
travel), while waiting for our turn I thought it would be a great time to
take some photos of Piper, she was looking really cute with her new pink
shoes on, so I started snapping away. Then I hear people going
ssshhhh, psssst, pssst, stop taking photos, you are not allowed, Oh well,
I was able to get a few in. After leaving this Office we came back
to the hotel. Joe and I went next door bought babyfood and drinks
then decided to call it a night. When you consistently wake up at
3:00 am you are ready for bed by 8:00. Our sweet boy is just perfect
for us in every way. He is climbing on everything yet when he is in
the stroller, he is perfectly content. He just goes with the
flow. He is eating very well, and thanks to Deb, he is now drinking
well. We did not bring any Cleft Bottles so it had been challenging
trying to get fluids in him. He would not take the Nuby nipple and
the Nuby sippy cup exhausted him. I have cut larger holes in nipples
and tried everything, nothing was working well until Deb showed up at my
door with a 6 pack of cleft bottles. Our boy is now drinking with
ease. THANKS DEB! I will now post some pictures cause I know
that is what everyone is here for. Also, you will see Deb and
Piper. Big Hugs, Alicia and Joe
