Lucy's 1st Doctor Appt~


We visited our new Dr. last week. We decided to take Lucy to an International Adoption Clinic for her regular pediatrician, and we are so glad we did. Lucy did amazing...she charmed the socks off everyone there. We had a translator present, but it turned out it made Lucy a little nervous..I think she was a little confused why all of a sudden we have someone there speaking Chinese to her... so she left. Our girl weighs 25lbs. She had to have an MMR shot, and what a little trooper. Then we headed to Children's Hospital so Lucy could give them some of her most beautiful blood...4 big syringes full!! She sat in my lap and only made a sound when the needle went in...she did amazing. Next on the schedule is Lucy's MRI and PT evaluation!

  3. I wonder if she thought you were going to give her to the interpreter. I can see where that would make her scared or upset.

    Glad she's such a trooper.

  4. I enjoyed reading your journey to Lucy and I cannot remember if I commented or not, and I have started reading your blog as well. I've just got to say that your little girl brings such a smile and I am sure she does to everyone. Her little name is sooo cute and seems to "suit" her and she is just so darn cute. She will be a blessing to whomever she comes in contact with.

  7. Libby's Doc. is a specialist in international adoption as well... I think it makes a difference in how they approach our little ones. LOucy & Libby are almost the same size (& Libby is 3 years 5 months old)--- it is challenging for Libby is some ways... people say in front of her, "Oh, she is talking now!"--- she looks at them with a "What did you expect" expression. Lucy looks great. Good luck with all of the other tests!
