Growing babies and stuff

So we took Jada to the doctor again.
She gained quite a bit of weight!!! She is now 3.3Kg (7.27Lbs), which is an increase of .8 Kg (1.76lbs) in two weeks. She is also now 53 cm (20.86 inches). This makes us quite happy. She is still in the low end of the percentiles, but that is putting her against full term month old babies. She is in a good range for if she was just born. Because she has good weight gain, the doctors are not too concerned. In every other way she is healthy as can be, and we are really glad to get this news.

We pick up her visa tomorrow, so it seems like we are all set to go home next week. We are planning to do Jada's blessing while we are there, that first Sunday we are home in Lethbridge.

China is gearing up for the big 60th anniversary of the founding of the Peoples Republic of China on Oct 1. It is going to be HUGE! There have been a couple of times (one a few weeks ago, another tomorrow) where they are doing rehearsals for the parade (including tanks!) so have to shut down downtown Beijing. It would be really intresting to see, but home is more important right now.

See you next week!
