This is my boy. There is not another baby in the entire world that I love more than him. My world here revolves around this little face. His smile brings a smile to my face even when I'm sad or upset. His giggle... the BEST! I laugh out loud when I hear it!
The way he holds my finger against his bottle during morning feeding time and cuddles up to me melts my heart...everytime.
I have 4 weeks left to make all the memories I can with him... it's not enough time but I'm thankful for it.
I love you buddy!

Micah... We will miss your sweet face, your smile, your talking, your beautiful eyes, your little teddy bear "Hi Micah, I love you! I love you Micah!" :)
5:00am feeding felt weird this morning without you there to throw up all over me!!
I know you've gone to a GREAT family, your parents are really awesome and you're gonna have so much fun living in Colorado!
Thanks for being a part of my life!! I love you!

Karson left with his parents for his home in Amarillo Texas, on Friday, October 9. I miss him already. He was one of my favorites... just look at that face. Sure there were times he was frustrating but compared to some of the others he was an angel!
I miss him most at feeding time. He and I used to have a talk every night before he got his bottle. I would tell him how it was almost bedtime and that it would go so much smoother for everyone if he just drank his bottle right down instead of playing around like he always liked to do. Sometimes the talk worked, sometimes it didn't. But I guess he knew best because he rarely woke up in the middle of the night crying.
Karson... grow big and strong and love Jesus. I'll always remember my month with you.

This is a picture of 5 of our babies. L to R: Daniel, Karson, Libby, Mai Ya, Mr. Wu.

Daniel left with his new parents a few days after this photo was taken.

Karson was not happy about this situation at all. He is crying in all the pictures we took like this!

The two girls don't seem to mind it a bit, and Mr. Wu makes it obvious what he thinks about the whole thing!

They take a group photo like this every few weeks I think. I'll try and get a new one up soon of all the babies.

Tonight is going fairly well. I only have 2 hrs and 15 minutes until I can sleep. I've kept up on the feedings, which is a miracle. Libby woke up twice but I can't be mad at her cuz she's been sick. Mr. Pan wouldn't eat at his second feeding. Shame on him.


I miss the day shift though. For many reasons but right now mostly because I miss playing with the babies. I miss Henry the most. He is such a sweet baby and soooo cute!!!! That is him in the picture. And "cute as a button" is right! He can go from crying to laughing in 3 seconds.
I have a feeling I'll be happy to go home in December but I will miss these faces and personalities. They have become "my babies".

Night shift again... it's going better so far but it's still only 1:45am. I prayed about it today and asked God to help the babies sleep well and that Baby Zung would not drive me insane like he did last night. So far I've only had 3 awake at one time.
This is a picture of my baby girl Libby. She's spoiled rotten and doesn't care! They say I'm partial to her and that I always pick her up when she cries. She loves to be held, just to get the attention.
Jessica is back and my world feels a little better because of it. It was just weird being here alone. Oh and she brought me Peanut M&M's which were awesome! And she bought spaghetti noodles which we cooked tonight and mixed in our American Prego spaghetti sauce! Mmm, good!
It's Sunday back home and everyone is at church or just getting out. I miss church.

Jessica left this morning to spend today, and part of Sunday in Taipei with a friend. It feels not right without her. I know she reads this blog so I wanted to make sure she knows that I miss her and am VERY VERY VERY thankful she is here on this trip with me. I could not do it without her.

I am on night shift again tonight. I think we're gonna try to make this permanent, as long as I can train my body to sleep during the day. If my room were dark I could do it no problem, but it has a huge uncovered window and I do not sleep well in the light. We'll just see what happens.

I tried seaweed soup today. It was... ok. I would eat it if I had nothing else to eat and hadn't eaten for about 3 days. Other than that... I'll stick with the rice and chicken.

It's not even 11pm and I am tired.
