We had our first doctor's appointment with Pearl yesterday. It went pretty well. She is certainly behind in some areas - sitting up, crawling, etc., but our pediatrician has a lot of hope that she will catch up on these things quickly as she grows. She is definitely a petite princess, but if I am calculating correctly the kilos to lbs she has gained some weight since our medical exam in China a week ago. We have another appointment with our surgeon today that should give us even more info on how best to feed her and about what our future looks like as far as the medical stuff goes. Her fine motor skills are awesome, and she is amazingly (I think) attached to us already. She definitely distinguishes between our family and everyone else - everyone else is stranger-danger-sound-the-alarm, which is a great sign for us.
In other news I think we are getting much better at keeping this time zone's hours. For the first few nights/days everyone was up for at least a little while between midnight and two and for many times after that, with all of us up around 4. Davis has been hardest hit. Keeping him awake Sunday afternoon was pure torture for all of us. Then it was like spinning plates as he would be awake for a moment and Faith or Pearl would start nodding off. We finally just gave up and had everyone in bed long before the sun went down. Last night was the closest to normal so far - Pearl only awake between 3 and 4 and Davis just a few times after that.
We've been very fortunate to have family help during this transition!
