Visit Trip Update- Day 6

Aug. 24th-

Breakfast buffet, "Baby Sister's" first bath, another photo shoot, of course and then off to the Dr.s.

Pedro met us and took us to the Embassy Dr. We waited in the waiting room...similar to a pediatricians office here...this was the first time we came in contact with anyone that was not for adoptions to the US...some people gave us very dirty looks!!!

We saw the Dr....he did measurements...weight 12.5, height 60 cm and head circ. 39.5 cm. Looked good so far...he also did many other tests...looking for hip dysplasia...eye problems, etc...he checked the bump on her leg...said it was swelling from the shot and it should go away....he said she looked like a VERY HEALTHY little girl!!!! PRAISE GOD!!!!!

We were so happy at that point!!! We were on Cloud 9!!! We went to the waiting room to pay and got to ask the fostermom a few questions. We found out she has an 18 year old son, 12 year old daughter and 11 year old son. She is also fostering another little boy who is the same age as our baby. She lives with her husband and mother also. Her husband fixes motorcycles for a living. They have 2 dogs and 2 parrots. She hates cats! :) It was neat to be able to ask her all of those questions...she is such a sweet woman. Olga was her first foster baby. I can only imagine how hard it will be when we go to pick her up.

After the Dr. we went back to the hotel to tell my dad the news. He was very excited. It was so sweet....when he was holding her...he said...even if we had to get a new referral, I always knew you would be my second granddaughter...it's so nice to know he is IN LOVE!!!!!

The rest of the day we spent enjoying together...the boys went swimming, napped, then they went out to dinner at a steak restaurant. Us girls met our friends for a drink! :) The boys came back and went swimming...then we went to bed.

Our third night I was still up quite a few times, but it was much better than the first two!!!
