Day 8 / Medical Exam / August 18, 2011 (Thursday)









Today, we met in the lobby at 9:30.  We went to Shaman Island for Katie's visa photo and medical exam.  All went well.  Katie weighs 15.5 lbs.  Just like her mommy, she did not like getting weighed!  :)   After the physical, we went to the Wholesale Pearl Market.  Of course, I bought pearls for Katie & I.  When we got back to the hotel, Katie played and took a nap.  Afterwards, we went out and did a little more shopping.  I am trying to buy a few keepsake items for her while we are here.

It is amazing.  Katie has us on her schedule.  No more staying out until midnight and going to bed at 2:00 am.  Daniel & I have been in bed every night since we got her between 8:30-9:30.  She has us on her schedule.  We know we need to go to bed early because we no longer need an alarm clock.  She wakes up around 6:00 - 6:30.  So, days that we go out, I need to get up & get ready before she wakes. She is doing amazingly well!  We are so happy!

Debbie, thank you so much for the lovely posts. You have had me in happy tears for the last 15 minutes. I am so filled with joy for the three of you. I'm looking forward to our first reunion where we can all meet each other and our precious daughters. xoxo

We are looking forward to see your family at the airport next Saturday. We already feel like she's a part of the family. Plenty of hugs and kisses from the Webbs.

Debbie & Daniel you three have been in our thoughts ever since you left. Can't wait to see Katie when you get home. Miss Reagan has decided not to make an early appearance, so we're stil on baby watch. We just couldn't be happier for you, take care, love on that baby. Gary, Kathy, Kari & Kris
