Lilypie 2nd Birthday Ticker

Wednesday, August 1, 2007


Today is our second day in Guangzhou, we met with our guide and started the paperwork again,this time for a US visa, for Angeline. We had a nice breakfast buffet at the White Swan Hotel. We were quite surprised that the paperwork went so smoothly. Ms. Liang, our guide, had us fill out and sign the required paperwork and we were done in less than an hour. Afterward, in late morning, we decided to bring Angeline to see a pediatrician. Her breathing seemed somewhat labored and she was still coughing. Thankfully, one of William's aunts works at the Guangzhou children hospital. We were able to get Angeline in to see the pediatrician right away. To our surprise, Angeline was diagnosed with a mild case of bronchitis and she was prescribed antibiotics and cough medicine. The doctor said that since she appears to be very active, shows no problems with eating and daily bowel movements, she should be fine. What a relief!
After giving Angeline her medicine (she really likes taking the medicine, by the way, because it's sweet) and resting a little bit, in the afternoon, we went to do more shopping in a huge shopping mall call "Tee Mall" and bought more baby clothes. The clothes here really are inexpensive and there are many different styles to choose from. Thankfully mommy gave in and decided it was time to get a stroller. You would think our baby would be a very quiet and still baby, considering she's been in an orphanage, with very little interaction with the outside world. But, no, our baby multi-tasks! She can move her head, arms, body, legs, you name it, every which way, all at the same time, non-stop. We are truly grateful for the stroller. Angeline is, thankfully, willing to sit in it and seems to have a great time people-watching. She's in awe of all the new sights, sounds and smells. Her head busily whiplashes back and forth,and up and down. She even likes the taste of her new stroller!
