Elizabeth's Offical Medical Examination

Monday was the day ALL 18 families took their little bundles of newly found love onto a tour bus and had ourselves driven to Shamian Island where we had photos taken and the babies were given their official, however, bueracratic medical examination. It is really just a once over by 3 or 4 doctors who check vision, hearing, heart, lungs and count fingers and toes and look at their behinds for some reason. ?

I felt pretty confident that Elizabeth would pass with flying colors since she had just been to the premier physican in Guangzhou! You go Elizabeth! That's my girl!

As you can see from some of these photos is was a slighty wacky scene with all these new parents trying to keep it together and get through this required event.

It was pretty "other worldly" in the waiting room with lots of howling babies and doctors running around with their masks.



Elizabeth was a trooper and while not as perfectly lovely as she was with Dr. Lu--she did exhibit the signs of maturity and composure that any parent would be thrilled with.
