The Real First Day (posted by Jake)

So we woke up a couple of times during the night, but we made it through the first night, for the most part. But the Lil is not well. After breakfast we found that our Lil was running a high fever. We left her behind with cousin Andy, (the nurse) and went off to finalize the adoption. All went well there, and we passed. So back to the Swan. Our little Rose is starting to loosen up. She is crazy about Dawn, on the other hand I will do, but it takes a moment for her to make the transition. Back at the Swan the Lil was still running a high fever, so mummy took her to the Hotel Doc. Doc gave her a shot and some meds and sent her back to the room for bed rest. Right now both girls are sound asleep. Lils temp has come down some and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she will be OK in the morning. We shall see what the days will bring.

Hi, it's me again (Dawn) doing the photos. I also want to add that Lily has a throat infection but she is doing OK. With her meds we are able to bring her temp down to 101 for a few hours but as soon as the meds wear off it shoots back to 103.6. She is being so sweet to Rosie and just loves it when Rose plays with her or talks to her.

Getting ready for a bath

Rosies first bath. For those of you who are not familiar with Asian children they often have Mongolian spots on their bodies. Rosie is covered in them and they are blue birthmarks and look just like bruises. Rest assured that they are not bruises and our little girl is fine.

Rosie is a complete cutie! POOR Lily. I so hope she is feeling better. What a bummer to be sick on her trip to the land of her birth.

Congratulations!! I've been out of the loop for a few days & look what happens!!

Rosie is just adorable. Personally, I love her Mongolian spots. The first time I saw them I freaked out a bit even though I'd been warned.

I hope that Miss Lily is feeling better soon.

Hugs to all!

And Rosie is just a darling. I watched that first little video of her on your lap several times...it melted my heart into a big puddle.

Hugs to your whole sweet family!
