The Wonderful World of Adoption
So you want to know about our DNA results? Yeah. So do we. 36 days and still waiting.
However, we did get an updated medical report of little William!! He is thriving! He is up to 14 lbs and 11 oz now. He is very alert and turns to the sound of his name. (We sent the foster family a letter and let them know we were naming him William but I don't know if they are calling him that or if they are using Alejandro.) According to the report, he is quite vocal and shows feelings of pleasure and eagerness, as well as cries when he doesn't want to do something. (I cry when I don't want to do things either! He will fit right in around here!) He can now roll over from his stomach to back and tries really hard to go the other direction. He grabs onto things and puts everything into his mouth. Unfortunately, he was also recently bitten multiple times by bugs. Maybe you will notice in the picture but me, I can't see the bug bites. All I see is total cuteness and a little baby that wants to come home to his family.
There was also some bizarre news in the medical report. Apparently he developed an abscess that was treated surgically. We checked with Dr. Springer, the pediatrician that reviews all of William's medical reports, and she assured us that it is a common thing and absolutely nothing to be alarmed about. Basically he had a pimple-like skin issue that needed to be drained. It is quite a shock to read that at some point in the last month your little baby had a surgical procedure done and you didn't even know about it.
