Things have been a little crazy. We are a little sleep deprived. Liana has totally bonded to Mommy but wakes up scared and confused a few times during the night and wants to be held and soothed. On Wed she wanted nothing to do with Ed and would cry when he held her, but that is getting better. She scratches herself until she bleeds if she is upset, so we are giving into her demands for now until she feels more at home with us.
We have only had half days to walk around Hanoi as Wed afternoon we had to do our immigration paperwork and Thursday afternoon we had to get her passport. We went out to dinner with another family on Wed night and Thursday we went to a vegetarian indian restaurant. You go into what looks like an abandoned building, down this long alley, and up 3 flights of stairs. All the while thinking- "where are we going?" and you end up in a really nice restaurant with great food! We walked around the lake on Wed and did some shopping on Thursday- I bought the most adorable cotton, hand embroidered dresses for Liana- 3 different dresses in 3 different sizes for her to grow into.
One of the mothers from another family had to go to the hospital for IV today and 2 of the babies are sick. We had a "playdate" with 2 other babies in the hotel this morning while it was raining. Liana is 2 months older than they are- she was quick to crawl over to see what kind of toy they each had that they might want to "share".
We have our first of 2 embassty appointments tomorrow and Ed leaves on Sunday. what I wouldn't give for a high chair, bouncy seat, or ANYTHING to hold the baby after he is gone! I need to catch up on sleep before he goes or I am in big trouble.

Hi Guys - great photos and glad to hear that things are moving along. Linda - you will definitely need to catch up on sleep while you have an opportunity. When will Ed be traveling home and when do you expect to? Can't wait to meet the newest addition to the Meehan Family!!
LOL
