Today we started with Ainsley's medical appointment. It's a very quick appointment, ending with bloodwork... but she was a trooper! She is 30 inches tall and only 18 pounds. Yes, we sure are anxious for her to be able to eat more!
Greg and the 4 big kids are on an excursion for a couple days (since this trip is also a heritage trip for Ellie) They are in Xian and had a great day seeing the Terra Cotta Warriors and then they're off to Chengdu to see the Pandas. When they left, Ainsley started to cry and was reaching for Greg. It feels very strange to go from the togetherness of 7 of us, to just 2! Not so sure I like it.... but it has been good one on one time for Ainsley and I. We also have a wonderful guide named Eva who is a huge help with all the paperwork, appointments and everything!
Big news today: Ainsley let me brush her teeth, and she happily sat in a highchair! We are celebrating every milestone here!
*Thank you so much for all the prayers, and messages of encouragement! It really helps to feel not so far away!
