Our sweet baby is sick today! When we got there they took us to a whole different part of the orphanage. They said she had a fever. We were only allowed to stay for a half hour. A half hour of cuddling my baby that I could tell didn't feel good. My nurse/mommy feelers were out, and she doesn't sound junky, and her breathing was ok, so hopefully its nothing big. I kind of feel like the finger is pointing at us as who got her sick. Unfortuntely, it may be true. Although we are not sick, she has never stepped foot out of the orphanage. Her little body is not used to the little, everyday bugs we all are exposed too. I think the first few months of having her home might be one sicky after another. My poor baby!Court is scheduled for Monday,and if you don't already know it, I can say her real name then. Then the next day we are headed home!

Lacey, these pictures literally brought me to tears. I love seeing your beautiful DAUGHTER reaching out to Daddy's face. LOVE!
ReplyDeleteI am sorry that she is sick. As you said, she will have to build up an immune system and that is a good thing for her. :) I hope that court Monday comes and goes with no issues.
Again, seriously ... those pictures! I love them. :)
Hope it's nothing serious. :)
ReplyDeleteOh...poor sweetie. You know, I was shocked that Stas has been totally healthy since we've gotten home even when we have all been sick.
ReplyDeleteJust check for h. pylori on her when you get home!!!
Oh I cant wait to hear her name!!! I am sorry she is sick and will say a prayer for her. Be blessed.
ReplyDeleteHope she is feeling much better soon. So excited for court! Can't wait to see her with the boys.
ReplyDeleteOh boo hoo, it stinks when babies are sick in there. Don't blame yourself though, our little ones were continuously sick with runny noses, etc when we were there... but then so were all the other kids!
ReplyDeleteShe is beautiful dressed as a boy or girl!
Praying for you lil' sweetie and for an uneventful court day! Can't wait to hear her name!!!!
ReplyDeleteYes as you said she may get sick a lot when she first gets home. Our babies have been home for almost a year now and they get sick about once a month right now. It seems they have caught everything and very fast. Many other people that adopted said that this passes after the first year. I am praying that is true. We have 10 kids, so when one gets sick, they all do. Im glad you have stopped getting so many nasty comments. I was soo angry about that. I know that was hard for you, but I am glad you stood your ground and did not crumble. God is with you every step you take and knows your heart. He will be with you to the end . God Bless you for stepping out in Faith and doing this with having a sick fragile child at home. You are an amazing mother and I can not wait to see your baby girl at home where she belongs. God Bless You, Leah
ReplyDeleteI love seeing Ray playing with her - so darling!! And now sick, poor sweet thing! Hope she gets better soon!

ReplyDeleteI'm right there with the tears with the top commenter! Loved the pictures of Daddy and daughter! She is so pretty that you can actually tell she is a girl even if she is wearing boy clothes. I'm sorry she is sick and you couldn't do your Mommy thing for very long. Thinking of you guys daily!
