After the placement, we went directly to our hotel room for some alone time. At one point she began to cry and Jennifer looked in her mouth and said, "her gums look really swollen." So I stuck my fingers in to feel her gums and sure enough she is teething. Not one, not two, not three, but four molars are coming in. Poor sweetie! She is obviously in some pain. So I immediately picked up some baby oragel and children's tylenol (the Thai versions). After rubbing the oragel on her gums, you could tell she was a new gal. We gave her some tylenol as well for the pain and within minutes she was out for her nap. She slept for 1 hour and 40 minutes which was great because she really needed the rest.
We then headed to the pool area for a late lunch / early dinner. Some of the other adopting families were there and Maya really enjoyed watching the other kids play in the pool. She let her feet get wet but that was about it. Shortly after that, we headed back to the room to give Maya her long awaited bath (I will explain later when we get home). She didn't like the bathtub at all but it was really good to get her cleaned up, brush her hair, and into her new jammies.
That's about it for now. We are so incredibly excited that she is ours now. We feel so blessed to be involved in such a wonderful experience. Below are a few more pics from today. Enjoy!
Tears of joy, right?
The only thing that comforts Maya right now...Mommy's arms!
