Hi everyone! It is day 5 in Guatemala and day 4 with our daughter. The transition between our wonderful Foster Mother Vilma and us went beautifully. We wish we had asked how she liked to be fed, but that was the only thing we didn't think to ask. Vilma, Andrea (from FTIA) and her husband Rafael met us in the lobby on Sunday morning to help us with the transition. It's a good thing, since Vilma does not speak English and we speak little to no Spanish (un poco.)
We are enjoying our visit to our daughter, Paula, in Guatemala. We are staying at the Westin Camino Real and are very glad we chose that hotel! They have a family room on the"family floor" which allows us to socialize, while the babies/toddlers play. That room has been a blessing for us first time parents! Paul and I both have talked to the various moms and dads and have been given advice and helpful hints.
Paula is an angel, even when she cries. She is teething and at 3 1/2 months has her first tooth! We can't believe we have been lucky enough to experience this milestone. She also took a while to drink her formula. We learned through trial and error that she drinks her formula while on her back with us holding the bottle for her. She also burps like a truck driver!
That's our report for today. We'll write more as time permits (she really likes to be held, which makes it hard to get online.)
TTYL,
Jennie and Paul
