We got more photos!

We received updated photos, as well as growth measurements for our girl today. We are sending a care package for Hana to her SWI. We have heard so many good things about Red Thread China, so we decided to send our package through them. We submitted our order last night, and she immediately sent us an email letting us know that she would work on our package and get it out to Hana in the next couple of days. Then today, around 10:00 AM, Ann send me an email with updated measurements and three new pictures! I can't decide which one is more adorable! She definitely likes to laugh, and she squints her eyes when she is laughing, just like her mommy! She has also grown since her referral info. She has gained 2 lbs and grew an inch. I bought a few 3-6 month outfits for her, based on her referral measurements. But I think I may need to exchange some of them for 6 months. She may grow another inch by the time we get to China. Oh how will I survive these last few weeks?!

Oh she is just adorable! We have been home just 3 months and I so vividly remember how excruciating the wait was between referral and gotcha. Blessings & safe travels!

Hi, your daughter is gorgeous! My daughter didn't have any hair either :( but how adorable are they anyway??? I just wanted to give you some info on our little girl for your clothes buying..We got Olivia on the day she turned 9 mths...she only weighed a little over 19 pds and was about 27-28 inches long..she fit into ALOT of the 3-6 mth clothes I bought. The 6 mth seemed to be perfect tho. What I did was like at Target they have height and weight on the tag..I bought by that..then when I went other places that didn't have it like that (I think Macy's does too) then I would compare using what I had already bought. She won't last long in 3-6 mths bc she's gonna be about the size Olivia was when we got her, but you also don't want things so big on her that she can't crawl and she looks funny, so I would take a few 3-6 mth and mostly 6 mths...not telling you what to do, just being helpful..I hope!! :) Oh and I brought size 3 shoes..NOPE...didn't fit but oh well! I know you are ecstatic...and the wait will seem long, but just make lists and check them twice :) and look at her picture all the time and pray for her and the weeks will go by quickly. I am so excited for you and am PRAYING that we can go back for our 2nd Asian baby and our 5th child!! :) Yes, we are crazy! Good luck and enjoy being a mommy! :)

OMG- she is soooo cute!! I'd hold onto a few of the 3 month outfits. My daughter was 14# & 24" when I got her (even though that is what they said she weighed 2 months earlier) and she fit in the 3 month outfits fine. Have a great trip!!

She is Beautiful! Congratulations!!! You will enjoy staying the whole time in Guangzhou...I travel to China for work often and I was bummed that I would be in Guangzhou for the whole time, but in the end, i was SOOOOO happy to not have to have an extra flight, change hotels, etc. The old Victory was the BEST!!!!
Enjoy and wish you a speedy TA!
