Would not sit in a highchair for the first few days, etc. We just LOVED her. Carried her. Hand fed her. (Food and bottles) Bathed with her. Sat with her on our laps. Etc. You are doing everything she needs, just keep it up!<br /><br />Try to enjoy these special moments. You deserve them! :)Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00451415090058055212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225642557651586509.post-30382202255436066462010-05-03T22:09:06.059-05:002010-05-03T22:09:06.059-05:00Oh my goodness, Amy!

I'm sorry it was such a rough transfer. I hope you are (or were, by now) able to get more information from the orphanage workers at the interview. Just keep holding her and babying her--that's the only advice I have right now. She will learn that you are her one mama and that you will always be there for her--you don't go off duty. :)<br />KellyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04910258636674801379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225642557651586509.post-47940783460502945362010-05-03T21:51:18.315-05:002010-05-03T21:51:18.315-05:00Congratulations!

She is ju...Amy, I have tears rolling down my face! She is just beautiful and you are just beaming. I am so excited for you both to have found each other. Eddie is such a trouper and kudos to him for multitasking. She will do fine just give her a little bit to grieve. She is more alive than Maggie was so that is good. My only advice is to start with small items to play with - the bubbles are always a hit! The mirror was a lot of fun for Maggie too. As for eating, just hold her in your lap to eat. I did that some with Maggie and it was fine. She needs that closeness to you and of course you wont mind a bit! <br /><br />Hopefully you are sleeping well tonight - who am I kidding, you aren't sleeping at all! LOL As for the bottle, try different temperatures and different nipples - large openings, etc. Do you have the formula she is used too? Maggie was on Nestle formula in China but once I got her to open up I started transitioning her to her US formula one scoop substituting at a time. She didn't have any problems taking it. I was lucky as Maggie took her bottle lukewarm instead of really hot. You will just have to try different temps. The biggest problem we had was constipation so keep a watch on that. We waited too long to intervene and bless her heart!<br /><br />How is her grasping? Are her hands doing well? Maggie wouldn't eat cheerios or any finger foods and is just starting to now after 5 months home. It looks like Molly is enjoying those cheerios.<br /><br />What great memories for you. I'm sorry you were rushed but you saved yourself from freaking out all night waiting to meet her! LOL Bright side maybe? LOL<br /><br />Lean on Eddie to help you while you take care of Molly. She will begin to attach to you quickly as you are the only one - one benefit of being single. I love that you have already gotten a smile - that is awesome!<br /><br />Thanks for the awesome pictures and commentary. I am so proud of you and know that your family is bursting with pride. Have fun and keep us updated when you can.

At that point I had no idea it was ABS. Congratulations Mama! Be patient - she is getting used to round eyes, blonde hair, so many differences. We moved to a new country when I was 5. Although I was with my family, so much was baffling including wondering why people would reach out and touch my blonde hair and why they carried umbrellas when it was sunny out. <br /><br />Congratulations again......Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14712508409234283378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225642557651586509.post-46702202359749272572010-05-03T14:17:33.079-05:002010-05-03T14:17:33.079-05:00So happy for you!
