Our time in Vietnam

The internet connection is so slow, and each time I try to come down to post all the computers are full.

We love it here! There is so much to see. Although with a new baby we aren't going at as much as we want too. We will just have to come back.

Monday had her medical appt. We where warned it would be hot. When the coordinator tells you that, you have to worry. It was really hot! I think we where there for about two hours for all the families to get in. The room was so muggy as we waited S. got really fussy. I was a little concerned about her since the family before us said the guys wasn’t too nice.

It was our turn we went into the room with the doctor and two nurses. She has a way of turning on the charm. She was all smiles, looks at everyone in the eye and is just a charmer. By the time we left, he was smiling the nurse was smiling, we where proud parents!

Today we had our last appointment in HCMC with the US government. This was a very different appointment than yesterday, nice high rise building with very good air conditioning.

After our appointment we walked around the city for a few hours.

Tomorrow we are going on a tour of the Mekong Delta with some of the other families. We are well taken care of on this trip by our coordinators.

S’ paperwork might be ready for us to fly to Hanoi on Thursday. We are sad that our time is coming to an end in HCMC already and haven’t seen all we had planned too. We will defiantly come back someday.

    I was so heartbroken leaving HCMC. It's really an incredible city. Glad things are going well. I'm sure Maia is charming everyone around her. :)
