Jesse bought himself a large tshirt. Guess Korean sizes are different. :)
We call Riley the "Baby Whisperer" because anything he gives her she loves.
This lasted for a whole 2 seconds and then he said, " Get her off of me".
They play together so well. He says his sister is beautiful.
First I want to thank all of you adoptive mammas for all the advice and sharing your experiences. You have no idea how much that helps me and makes me feel as though I am not alone in this. Yesterday was a good day and last night was a little better. We went to the doctor's today and she is completely healthy. Ya!!!!
On the diaper front, we have tried all of them. My diapers work great but she has these thunder thighs and it makes them fit a little weird. And because they are cloth it is hard to tell when she is wet. I tried the F*zzi Bumz and while I like the diaper I hate the snaps! The one that I absolutely love is the Gd*aper.. I LOVE LOVE LOVE them! They are so easy and very trim. I am using them with the cloth inserts instead of the disposable ones and they are so easy to put on. I ordered some more of those and absolutely recommend those to everyone! The disposable inserts are flushable and compostable. They are kind of like a cross between a diaper cover and a pocket diaper. The shell is cotton spandex kind of material and there is a snap in waterproof liner. Then all you do is put the insert into the liner and your done!So easy! Then when she is wet, you just take out the insert and put in a new one. You don't even have to put a new diaper on unless it is soiled as well. And I love my cloth wipes I got and so does she. I got a wipes warmer that came with bamboo cloth wipes, then I bought this wipes solution from Lusa Organics and it smells like lavender. They are so warm and soft and I just love them. The Gd*apers are also easy to wash and dry really fast unlike an all in one diaper or the regular prefolds. As for Bee, she is slowly making progress, I just want to get into a routine really fast and that is not happening. We were not going to allow anyone over for a while, but thankfully my Dad brought us lunch the other day and my mom came over yesterday and helped with the dishes and made me lunch and entertained Riley for a while. That has been a godsend because I don't want to cook anything. My family has been very respectful of our attachment issues and our wish for not allowing anyone to hold her but it has been really helpful to have someone around to help me do the things I can't. Well, I have to go try to entertain her and keep her awake. I'll post more pics soon!

Glad everything is getting better. Lots of good stuff to keep in mind for me. :) Could she BE any cuter?! I don't think so.
Good thing to keep in mind with the shirt sizes! LOL.
Thanks for the update!
I'm so glad things are going a little better. I think it's great that you are documenting these days. In the next month and the months following that, you can look at these old blog posts and see how far you've come! You are doing a great job, mama! :)
Happy to hear that things are improving. I know you want a schedule down pat immediately, but it will take time. You'll be fine - just do the best you can and don't be so hard on yourself :)
Glad you like the gDiapers... we HATED them! :) To each their own, eh?
She is gorgeous! Glad to hear that there are little steps in the right direction. I'll keep praying for your family.
Glad to hear that things are getting better. With each passing day things will be better and better. I am so happy for you and your family. She is Adorable!
Yay! So happy to hear of improvements. And yay for Riley! I think he has fantastic big brother potential. It is amazing how much the siblings can help ease things together. Also, good that you figured out your diaper situation! I bet you could still sell your diapers on easy, they are so cute.
I meant to say Etsy on that last comment. Grrr to typos!
Big hugs! I think you're doing great. I appreciate your honesty and openness - it's a bit scary but overall helpful to hear what we will be dealing with eventually (and knowing that we won't be alone). Thinking of you and sending up a prayer. I love the pics of Riley and Bee together (it is so special when big brothers say that there little sisters are beautiful!). :)
She is adorable with her brother. Take up every offer your parents have to help with Riley, bring food, do laundry or clean. I was very thanksful my sister-in-law helped us out the first few days & rallied my friends to help bring food.
She looks so sweet! I am glad things are going a bit better! Thank you for posting about what you guys are going through, the good AND the bad...it helps me to prepare for when Joel comes home.
Love the shirt on your hubby! Too funny. I'm so glad you've seen a little improvement. And I just love her fishy face!
Thank goodness for some forward progress - let's hope it continues! Love the photos of Bee and Riley together - just adorable. Thanks for the diaper advice. I am planning a blog post about this very topic to solicit opinions!!
I love the fishy face she does!! That is too cute!!!
