Medicals

Yesterday morning we went for Sophia's medical. It was bright and early at 7:30 on the bus :( YUCK!!! Those who know me well know that is TOO EARLY!!! Sophia thought so too!! So far she is quite a sleeper (HA HA BRUCEY!!!) Everything went well she weighed in at 9 kilos, was 74.4 cms tall and head was 44 cms. All were not on the chart except weight was 5-10 percentile but when they chart her weight for height and with the head it is all VERY healthy!! WHOOHOOO!! She has a low grade fever and upper respitory infection which I kinda thought but also has an ear infection starting in both ears and is cutting back molars!! Whew thats a lot for one little girl but the really strange part is she barely shows it except certain moments she can be a little cranky,but with being a little older we just assumed it was the transition. So all in all just a great day. We started her on an antibiotic yesterday and tylenol for pain as per the doc and she is already improving a little.

Last night we went to the pearl market and I was really not in the mood to shop just browse (IMAGINE THAT!!) and it's funny the amazing deals that you can get! I bought "silk" dresses for the girls (pretend of course) and paid 40 RMB, about $5, and at the end of the night I went back for 1 more and told her 30 and she said lowest price was 35 and when I walked awy she didn't chase me so I know this was the lowest she would go because it was also closing time, best time to get a deal. She had started out at 180 RMB. Mike said my dad would have been proud of he deals that i got!!

This morning we need to be on the bus at 8:00 and Sophia FINALLYT slept the night in her crib. She went to bed at 8"15 and is still out cold so I need to go get her ready. Bye for now and will post again later with pictures!! Miss Mahoney is also one shrewd dealer and we had Lisa Allen all ready to go at the end of the night she picked up a beautiful tea ste that started at 580 RMB for 100!!! Theres a lot of typos but no time to correct!
