We were very surprised this morning when I opened my e-mail and we had updated measurements from the orphanage! We received this information in her referral paperwork, but it was completed when Bella was 6 months old. At the time of referral, we were told she was 17 lbs, 25 inches and did not have any teeth. Today we learned she is now 18.7 lbs, 26.7 inches and has three precious teeth.
This afternoon we received another surprise from the orphanage. They've offered to take pictures of the babies...if we provide disposable cameras. Of course we will! Harrah's contacted the eight families in our travel group and told us to send money ASAP to them and they'll have the cameras to the orphanage ASAP. This is something we've never heard of happening before, so we were thrilled to have this opportunity.
Brian and I are planning on meeting with our pediatrician tomorrow morning. We're going to take all of Bella's reports and have him look over them. We're planning on gaining insight on her hernia and see what his recommendations are. We're also going to tactfully ask for medicines for the trip. Because of the stress their little bodies are going through, the babies often times become sick with common colds, etc.
We promise to keep you all updated! Exciting times for us!
