Maeve 10
Yesterday, after I was feeling a bit better, we went out to a pizza place (I am making a point to visit them all). The pizza was amazing, the best I've had. It was't a very eventful day, although my fever did come back much later. Maeve is very fussy before sleeping, but when she finally passes out she is a perfect angel. It is incredibly hard living in this small room with a baby, especially one with her sleep habits, but it is all worth it in the end.
When we woke up this morning, I was feeling fine, as were Mom and Maeve. However, my throat does still hurt. A lot. We went to the Bookworm, the "only english bookshop in Hanoi". Yay!!! We got a few books, which I plan to read soon. We then went to dinner at La Salsa, a spanish place with lots and lots of Tapas. We also met a baby(not adopted) that was 12 months and at least a little bigger than Maeve. Whoa.
We got back and are now trying to get Maeve to sleep. It seems to be working.

Picture Updates-NOT
Okay I've tried but failed a few times you will have to wait for Abram to update pictures it appears to be beyond my technical expertise and Maeve's "help" doesn't make it easier. So pictures coming soon to a blog near you (or not so near)

Abram wasn't feeling well yesterday and ended up with a fever. He kicked it for a while and started to perk up last night but then hit a wall and is still warm and feeling "yucky" today. There appears to be a virus being shared with some of us at the hotel. It has hit my friend's 12 year old daughter and her 20 year old niece as well. A 24/48 hour thing. So we'll just let Abram have another restful day and set him to task when he feels better.
Maeve is lovely and slept for 6+ hours last night which is a habit I will encourage. She has been having fewer bad dreams and is very happy to be with us throughout the day. She vehemently dislikes napping or going to bed. Reminds me of another child of mine.
A perfect match for the family.
Our paperwork is moving along faster than expected and we hope to travel home sooner than expected but airline tickets are hard to come by as are hotel rooms. Hanoi and Vietnam in general are experiencing an amazing tourist boom and there are adoptive parents everywhere.
We met a lovely couple from Italy who are adopting a little girl named Thi Hoa, which is also Maeve's Vietnamese name. They are keeping the name s as they explained,' it is very pretty and sounds almost Italian'. Pretty Neat.
We love it here. I do however wish it wasn't so far away.
