Hi everyone - so sorry for the lack of posting, but we are having a terrible time with the internet. Even at the Hilton I cannot access this blog - if you are reading this then Jenni was able to post for me. :)
Micah Yabsira is wonderful. He is a smiley boy! I wish I could post pictures - but that is definitely not working! He is so sweet- all of the nannies LOVE him. He has been in our room since the first night and I would love to report that he sleeps through the night, but he is getting up 2-3 times per night for a bottle. He goes right back to sleep though, so that is a blessing. We're both getting used to getting up - last night we both got up for a 4 a.m. feeding and then watched some BBC television and had tea. (We're still a little off on time - we did go back to sleep!)
Oh - big news - Micah has a new date of birth! We saw his passport yesterday and his DOB was a month earlier than we had originally thought. So, now he is 5 1/2 months old. Well, maybe... in Ethiopia the DOBs are estimated because they do not celebrate them like we do. So - he's around 5 months. :) He is a bit bigger than I thought and I wish I had brought warmer clothes for him - we're constantly layering him with clothes b/c it is chilly here. For those of you coming soon (Jenni) bring lots of hats - the nannies like their heads covered. :)
Okay - that's all for now... We will try again on the pictures later this week. :)
Great to hear from you.Can't wait to see pics!And yes of COURSE he's wonderful! :)
ReplyDeleteWoooo Hooo! So awesome that you have babe in arms!! And, can't wait to see pics.
ReplyDeleteThe hilton internet is REALLY expensive and when i would sometimes use it, just for convenience, it worked no better than the internet cafés ouside, so go to one of those and chances are you CAN access your blog. :)
As for the layering etc, is that an orphanage thing, or does Micah actually want it? I ask b/c my orphanage kept Malía sooo wrapped up and then when she found herself free of that was camping much more happily!! :)
Yea! So glad you made it and are having fun with the bonding time. Thanks for the info and keep it coming--I just added "hats" to my packing list...hadn't thought of those! You have a million people over here haunting your blog but don't worry...just enjoy your time there. You can post when you get home!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for you guys. I've been checking your blog regularly for updates. I'm glad that things are going great and you guys are bonding with Micah. Can't wait to see more pics of him.
