Medical exam...check.

Went to photo shop this morning to have Jiushu's visa photo taken.  Then a 15-minute walk to the medical clinic which was cram packed full of parents and their newly adopted kids.  Met Amber (He Starts With a Baby), and "beavmom" (from RQ); I'm sure there were a dozen other gals there whose screen names I would recognize.  But I think we were all a little stressed.  Exams didn't take too long, but Jiushu was none too pleased.  For what it's worth, the doctor could not detect any heart murmur. 

It's so nice to have reconnected with the rest of the Holt families here in Guangzhou.  The pace is MUCH slower here...deep sigh of relief.  I think we'll enjoy this last leg of our trip.  Short meeting this afternoon for one parent only, and then we have two free days.

So reassuring, yes?

ENT exam.  He didn't mind this one.

I love reminiscing while looking at your photos. There used to be a sign in the examination room that said "Quiet Please." My hubby and I just chuckled and took a picture under it. When we returned in December, it was gone.
Still praying.

What a wedding dress! I feel like we could have the same exact picture of the crowded clinic. It will be wonderful to have some free time and a more relaxed pace. Hope you get to enjoy this time!
