Poor Little Baby!

After our doctor's visit yesterday, we now have a better understanding of why our happy little baby has been so miserable for the past few days. Mya doesn't just have a cold as we had thought, she has a ear infection, sinus infection, and RSV. We have started her on antibiotics and breathing treatments and hope that she will recover quickly. It breaks our hearts to see her so sick!

Home Sweet Home!

The boys meet their little sister!


We are so happy to finally be home! The long flight home was tough on all of us, escpecially Mya. She ended up coming down with a horrible cold and has been really sick all weekend. Poor baby! We are off to the doctor's office tomorrow in hopes of "making her all better".

Done!

While we have really enjoyed our time here in Vietnam, we are excited to be returning home in the morning. We miss our family and can't wait for them to meet their new sister/grandbaby/ niece/cousin. See you soon!

Almost done!

We had a very busy day yesterday! Mya is now the proud owner of her very own passport and she got to vsit her friends at the SOS clinic again. Mya's visa medical exam went very well and she especially enjoyed playing peekaboo with the nurse. Our visa interview is scheduled for tomorrow at 2:00, and then we should be finished with the adoption process. We have changed our airline tickets and will be coming home this Friday. Yipee!!

Getting to know Mya

MYA TRIVIA

1. She weighs almost 16 lbs and is 27 inches long- just a little peanut!


2. She has two teeth on the bottom (one is adorably crooked) and one tooth on the top. She is also getting another tooth on the top and it seems to bother her quite a bit. She chews on everything, just like a puppy!


3. She has the softest hair I've ever felt!


4. She loves people! Everywhere we go she makes new friends.


5. She can dance, crawl, and is quite a busy little girl.


6. She smiles and giggles all the time, just not when I'm trying to take her picture. She has a real "thing" about cameras.


7. She can have the most serious face and silliest face all at the same time!


8. She likes food- a lot! (she takes after her mama)


9. She can say "ba" (bottle) and "may" (mama).


10. She is a beautiful child both inside and out and we feel so fortunate that she is our daughter!

A trip to remember!

Even though we had to endure a 3 1/2 hour bus ride, unbelievable heat and humidity, and a baby who woke up hourly during the night, we had an utterly fantastic time at Ha Long Bay. It is so breathtakingly beautiful that no words can even begin to describe it. Our pictures definetly don't do it justice! We feel so fortunate to have been able to see such an amazing sight! It is a far cry from the expanse of wheat fields of Eastern Oregon. Mya was a champ through most of our trip, but did have a very difficult time sleeping on the boat. We are all happily exhausted and anxious to get a good nights sleep!
