Yay! More Cassandra Pictures!

More news! First, the foster mother coordinator in Guatemala City made a surprise visit to Cassandra's foster mom. They do this randomly, to check on conditions. All was well, and the sweet foster mom reminds me of my Great Aunt Seida, who died years ago. This visit occurred before we even knew about her, on the same day as her first doctor's visit (same day as our referral pics were taken, 11/30). Here are some pictures:

A few factoids were learned at the visit:

• Miss Cassie drinks 2 oz. of enfamil premium formula every 2 hours.
• She likes her bath at 7:00 P.M.
• She goes to bed at 8:30 P.M. and sleeps on her side.
• She wakes up every 2 hours.

Then, just this past Monday, Cassandra's birthmom had to bring her to the American Embassy doctor for DNA testing on both of them. This is done to prove that they are mother and daughter and ensure that there are no allegations of wrongdoing. Cass is 25 days old in this picture:

I hope to have more news/pictures of Carter soon. We did hear 2 days ago that he was under the weather, poor baby! He has adenovirus, which I'm told all kids get eventually, and is normally just like a respiratory infection. We hope to hear soon that he is getting better, they told me if he'd gotten worse I would already know by now.
