Sorry for the delay in posting. Our cute little baby, perfect as she is, has been teaching us a little about what it really means to be parents. After trying very hard not to be worry warts, we (really, I) couldn't help thinking of all of the bad things that can happen to unvaccinated babies. Eila had a fever last night and didn't sleep more than a wink (and we didn't either), so I broke down and took her to the international clinic this morning. Of course, they felt she just has a cold (so do I), but I guess the reassurance helps and mostly I just wanted know how much she weighs now so I can plot her and dose medications if I need to. She is a little tike, but growing just fine and she is on the US CDC growth chart (the small side, but a respectable percentile)- so it makes the pediatrician side of me very happy. We are having fun and despite her little illness, she is still amazingly sweet and playful! We are off for our first interview today to start the application for her visa home. Hope everyone is well out there! We'll write before long I promise. I know everyone really just wants pictures anyway- right.

The first one is always the most worrysome. I didn't want to send Madeleine off to the nursery after delivery, so instead I stood by her bassinet all night long with the bulb syringe. At the most minute irregularity in breath I would spring into action and try to suction out the obstruction.
She has since had over 6 years of uninterrupted breathing (knock wood)!
Kari and Kushang, we are very happy about your new baby.
Congratulations!
We can't wait to meet her.
Much Love from
Chris, Michelle, Madeleine, and Eddie.
I love her hair. It is so cute.
Wow Kushang you really fit the daddy role well. It must be from all the practice you had caring for the folks in LEDB.
Have fun guys and we look forward to meeting her someday soon.
