We received another update on Mika today! She has grown a little and is healthy and doing fine. They've changed her formula to Earsun Goat Milk, but the pediatrician assures us that we can give her Enfamil formula and she'll be fine until we can introduce her to regular milk. She's now 88 centimeters and weighs 13 killograms. We were also given the name of her foster Mother and an update on her favorite foods. She likes homemade rice powder, noodles, rice and bread. She also likes juice and still uses a bottle. We plan to introduce her to a sippy cup as soon as she's settled at home and feeling comfortable. We also need to potty train her because she still uses a diaper at the orphanage. Her bedtime has been changed from 9:00pm to 8:30pm for the Spring season and she likes to listen to music while she falls asleep. She takes a nap everyday from 1:00pm-3:00pm. They told us her favorite toys are still musical instruments and she's a very sweet child. They're preparing her to meet us soon and they're taking a photo everyday.It makes us feel very thankful to know they're taking such good care of her.
I've started having very peculiar dreams about Mika the past 3 days. It's always the same dream.....we come home from the airport and she crawls up on the couch and sits down. She folds her arms and stares at me.....as if to say, "well,..... now what Mommy?!" It's a very funny dream and I think it's Gods way of telling me not to worry too much and we'll figure things out as we go. I'm hoping my Mommy instinct will kick back in without too much delay! Our "baby" is now 15 years 7 months old and David gave him his first shaving lesson today! My oh my.....one child is starting to learn how to shave and one child will be in diapers. Things are going to get VERY interesting at our house soon. : )
We'll be in Taiwan in 25 more days and we'll finally meet our little girl!! Her room is ready and we're just waiting to go.
