Yesterday I had to take the baby and myself to the doctor because we were not feeling well. My doctor said that I caught a viral infection in Guatemala and gave me some medication to help relieve the symptoms (coughing, fever, sneezing, etc) while my body fights the infection and today Thank God I'm feeling much better.
Elizabeth's doctor said that she is fine but she has an ear infection so he prescribed an antibiotic.
The first night at home was the most difficult one for Elizabeth. She was scared and did not want to be alone for even a second. She slept with us but woke up quite a few times and would grab me and would not let me go. She has had so many changes in the past week. She falls asleep in one place and wakes up in a different one. I would be scared too. Greg has been such a great guy/ father/ spouse/ friend/ and has done so much for us. Because I was so sick the first night we arrived home, he was the one taking care of feeding Eli, changing her and also taking care of me.
I will be posting pics of Eli's arrival in NH and at home and telling more about how her adjustment is going.
These are the pics from La Antigua in Semana Santa or Holy Week that I promised to post. I love all your comments and e-mails. Thank you for thinking of us and keeping us in your prayers for a smooth transition into a new and positive life.

Beautiful photos and we can't wait to see new photos of Elizabeth.
Congratulations on being home! You may be surprised how quickly Elizabeth's fears turn to curiousity and then you get to see her blossom right before your eyes. This is an exciting time and there will never be another time like it. Unless, of course, you adopt again :) It can certainly have moments of stress and adjustment, but when you look back, you won't believe how quickly time goes by and how much you cherish this time.
Best wishes,
Kat, Colin, Sophia and Keenan
Clarena, Greg, and Elizabeth,
