Well today I took Adiah to an international adoption pediatrician. This is the same Dr. who looked at all of her information back in October when we got her referral. He did a very thorough visit with us as we were there for 2 hours. We talked about EVERYTHING that was concerning me(eating, chewing, swallowing, sleeping, etc.) and he assured me that what I was feeling was normal. He told me he feels really good about where she was at. He liked her weight today(20lbs completely naked) and he feels that her head is in proportion to her body. We definitely want her to continue to gain weight and develop but he seemed very pleased with her. He feels like she is just fine and that there is no reason why she wouldn't catch up to where she is supposed to be. Hallelujah! With that being the second Dr. this week that told us that we are really praising the Lord! I sort of already knew it...just because the Lord has already given me peace about her but confirmation is a good thing! So, she will stay on formula for a few more months to keep the vitamins coming and she will continue to eat and get smothered with love from her family!! Its a good thing I love her so much because I also get to do a couple weeks of poo poo samples! Good times!
And today we got a package in the mail from America World with a welcome home hat and onesie for Adiah. I think its to ease the pain of the packets of paperwork they also sent for us to complete now that we are home....its never ending. We did a short photo shoot with the hat. Enjoy!
I'm so cute in this hat!
Wait a second...I don't think I like it so much.
Ta da! (That's what it sounded like anyway) I'm cuter with out it!

Hi Amy, a friend of mine just emailed me this precious poem and I thought of you too. enjoy!
Dear Sweet Daughter,
As a girl I had a common dream,
to be a Mom someday.
My baby would have eyes of blue
and hair the hue of hay.
But now my dreams have been transformed.
New visions fill my head.
Now the tresses that I long to stroke
are raven black instead.
And in my dreams those eyes are not
so big or blue or round.
Now in my dreams they're almond
shaped and colored cocoa brown.
And in my dreams my arms can stretch
across enormous seas.
They reach half-way around the world
and hold you close to me.
As you grow in your mother's womb,
carefully knit together, you're also growing
in my heart, where you will stay forever.
And in my dreams the moment that your
mother says good-bye, I'll be right there
to comfort you and hold you as you cry.
Our features may not look alike;
we're different as can be.
But still I know the Father
has created you for me.
And though I've not yet seen your face,
or held your tiny hands, and though
we're half a world apart in very different lands,
I'll be right there to get you just as soon as
God allows. But 'til He says the time
is right I give to you this vow.
I'll pray for your protection
every day on bended knee.
For God to hold you in His arms,
until you're here with me.
