I'm sure you were dying to know.... we are dinner time day two and we have had no poop. I'm not worried, last time it took almost 4 days, but we poop watch is in full swing. I have to say, I can't imagine what cleaning a chubby butt like this is going to be like! I have never seen meat on bones before. Is it too late to swtich their names, because Sprout is definately the shape of a Dumpling, and Dumpling is the definition of Sprout!!!!!
Sprout slept through the night on night one. I'm not sure it will happen again, but hey, one night is a good start! she like sher dad, but prefers having me in eyesight. She' not crazy about havng her sister squeeze the bejesus out of her, so we are trying to get Dumpling to give her some space. But Dumpling, who is still jetlagged, spent one hour watching her sleep this morning, telling us she's quite hapy with her baby and we can keep her..... so try getting her to give her a bit of space!!!!
Tomorrow, we will visit her orphanage. The kids in our travel group each came from a different orphanage. We made a request to go visit, and ours was the closest. i feel unbeleivably fortunate. I already have an idea of what it looks like, having seen pictures of previous visitors. I am therefor not apprehensie in the least. I'm not sure all the families are coming, seing as it isn't their child's orphanage, but we are going no matter what.
More later!
eeeeee....poop watch!!! She's adorable! Those chubby cheeks, wow! I'm glad Dumpling decided that she is okay and you guys can keep her. :p

I will have you know that LSP just said Sprout's name!! She won't even say her own name, so this is huuuuuge.
The sisters look adorable together!! Dumpling looks so proud.
Poop will come, as you know. I'd say by day 3 or 4. Poor little system is in distress.
Good luck. And yes, you will need extra wipes to clean the chubby bum.

So glad the Dumpling approves - too cute! And that's great that you're able to visit the orphanage...

Nothing to beat the happiness of the first poop! Cubby botties are the best - not that I'm boasting or anything ;)
