The dreaded first trip to the doctor

Last night we went and ate at a Cantonese restaurant. I like the food in Hunan much better but Joey seemed to enjoy it and even ate Pigeon; I was like no thank you! Merrin had a great night sleeping and we even had to wake her up so we could get breakfast before we had her medical exam.

Merrin was not happy at all you will see from the pictures. She screamed the entire time. Our guide Bob said Merrin does not like the Chinese people any more just the Americans. He tried to make her laugh before the exam and she started screaming with him but tonight she was laughing with him... I guess the girl can't make up her mind :) All the babies passed the exam and the Doctor said that Merrin actually has eczema on her face not a heat rash. She weighed 16.4 lbs, with her clothes on. She wore herself out with all the screaming and actually took a great nap today. I went and did a little shopping by myself while her and Daddy napped. We then had lunch at Lucy's again with our friends Krickett, Tim and Kelly and then we all walked around and ate ice cream which Merrin loved. We celebrated Elizabeth's 1st birthday tonight with dinner at a Thai Restaurant, which was really good and also had a wonderful cake. It is only 7:15pm but Merrin is ready for bed and so is Mommy! Good night from China.

Love,
Wendy
