We're Back On Track

I am sorry I was not able to post pictures last night. We had a rough evening. Miss Mattie fussed alot of yesterday and then screamed for 2 hrs before she finally went to sleep @ 10pm. About every hour afterward, until this morning, she would scream but when I looked at her she was still asleep. One bottom tooth came through yesterday - you can't see it but I can feel it. The other one is on it's way out too - so we thought this was the problem. To be honest though, all sorts of things were going through our minds. She was really upset and we were worried. This morning she woke up and smiled and seemed OK so we thought we were out of the woods. And then the screaming began again. It turned out that she had a "#2" issue. I will spare you the horrible details but just say I would have been screaming too. Our poor sweet girl.
So, it's 4pm in PR China and all is well again and has been for a number of hours. We have a very, very happy girl. Here some pics from yesterday...










I needed to make bottles to take with us yesterday and Alan needed to get ready. There's really no where to put her that I feel is safe to leave her side...not even the baby bed. Where do you put a baby while you pour hot water and mix formula - but keep her within reach? Here looked like a good place... There was no place to sit and she was very hungry. I'm really not sure how many flights of stairs I walked, feeding her like this. It's a good thing I went to the gym some before we left the US...

You would have thought I was trying to feed her a bug - this is her first Cheerio...

Her 2nd Cheerio...

Dinner


Right before my meltdown




I will try to post more photos tonight. We started off so far behind today b/c she was not feeling well this morning, we didn't get any photos yet today. We'll get some tonight though...

Hey Mattie's Parents! Skye here from RQ's site, and OMG! Your Mattie is such a beautiful tiny peanut! What a sweet face! Enjoying your blog so much. Thanks for allowing us to follow along. Glad M's regular now & apparently likes Cheerios! Hoping all continues smoothly. Enjoy!

Oooh Tressa I so know what you're going thru our Guixi sweetie had the same problem but not until GZ. Make sure you try some prunes on her. We found some baby food ones at Jennifer's in GZ (right across the street from the White Swan)...Kylie loved them and voila problem solved. And she would take no form of juice or other fruit what so ever. So if you have this too try the prunes if you can find 'em. I even had to call my mom in the States and ask her why Kylie was screaming so hard. :-( I will NEVER forget how "tortured" she seemed. Hope it's moving along.:-) All of us BTDT's can surely relate...Hang in there. Susan in MT. Momma to Kylie Mei

How cute is she in that suitcase LOL. Even when she doesn't feal well she still takes good pictures, she is soooooo photogenic. I can't wait to start taking some shots of her my self. The Cheerios pics were funny, she looked very unsure about it, and what a face she made. I hope Mattie is doing better. You should be up by now and starting your day, so as soon as you read this give Mattie kisses from Aunt Rhonda. Love you guys
