She does not like taking medicine and is a little fighter. She will lock her lips together until she has to cry and then we quickly get it in there. We hope she keeps it down tomorrow and things start looking up. It is scary to be in a foreign country with a new baby that you are just getting to know who is sick and you have to wait to see what happens. We have done everything we can and hope she is better by tomorrow or Sunday, we will keep everyone posted.
Today was Maggie's US immigration physical which took about 15 minutes. I am not even sure if these people were doctors and they did not speak english. She passed although she is obviously not feeling well. Then our group went to the famous White Swan hotel and took pictures of our babies on the famous red couch. Since we are not staying at the White Swan this trip, we made the trip over because it is important to some people to have that photo.
We also got a photo of our entire travel group which is also attached. After we got home and Maggie's fever broke, her personality came back which is obvious in the video above, of she and I playing a game with a bag of teething cookies. I am sure you will agree, it is hard not to smile when you see this baby smile and laugh.
Thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers. Again, keep your comments coming, although I cannot post or see the blog, my brother is cutting and pasting some of them and we will be able to see them all when we get home. Counting the minutes until we get home. Love, Steph

Oh guys...I'm so sorry little Maggie is still not feeling well. That is so hard. Hopefully the antibiotics start working. Love the pictures and the precious video.
In less than a week you'll be home. Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait.
Lots of love to all of you...Nad, Charlie, Ian and Drew
Love the photo of Maggie looking at her big sister, they look so connected already.
Tonight is the first time I'm able to read your blog and not cry. It's so emotional to see the arrival of a child in a family, no matter whether they are new born or 18 months old. And ever since I met you, all the way back at Lake Hills pre-k, I have heard about Maggie so I know how desperately in love you all already are with her. and on the photos it really seems like she already bonded with you 3 too!
She seems so adorable and has the most gorgeous smile on the pics. We won't be able to go meet you at the airport because on the 30th Julian is going to have some oral surgery to remove 3 (!) teeth that never fully came down (occlude teeth) and we were told it would be quite painful for a few days, not at all like pulling regular baby teeth.
But we hope to get you to come over as soon as possible so we can meet this lovely darling and Julian and Molly can have fun together too.
We pray she gets better really fast to help make the trip not too uncomfortable for her.
Love
Anne an the boys
