Sick in China

So, since our last post we have experienced a little more drama than we were anticipating...It all started with Quinn waking up from a nap and proceeding to vomit EVERYWHERE! Because everyone is on high alert with the Swine Flu, we had to rinse out the bedding before we called housekeeping, and tried to disguise it as a"spill". No sooner than 2 hours later it happened again. Next it was me lying on the bathroom floor wishing I were home on my own bathroom floor. Finally, Brad was hit. Luckily, there is a fellow adoptive parent who is a physician who gave us anti-nausea pills last night. So far, Lilah seems to be okay.
We are all feeling much better today. About our little Lilah...We have a full-blown toddler on our hands! Let's just say she is very independent, active, and is a girl who knows what she wants, when she wants it. She has been very clingy with me today and is absolutely hilarious when Quinn sits on my lap. She tries to push him off me, and makes a loud grunting noise. Quinn thinks it is hysterical. By her motor development/coordination and her size, we are guessing she is older than 17 months.The other babies in our group are tiny! There are only a few thing that I brought that actually fit her in length. Tomorrow we will be leaving for Guangzhou tomorrow for the U.S. consulate appointment and medical exam. Quinn will be re-united with a few friends he met in Beijing. On a sad note, one of the families we met in Beijing was scheduled to adopt a 2 year-old special needs girl, but it turns out her needs were far too complex for the family to handle. They
are trying to match them with another child, but not sure if it will be possible during this trip. Absolutely heartbreaking. We feel so blessed to have so many great families in our travel group. We are all a little home-sick, but this seems to have helped quite a bit.
Miss you all!
