No Parasites!!!

We are happy to report that we have the internet, so you all can finally read about our trip and that Tate is parasite free!!! We took him to the doctor the first week we were home and he checked out fine. Yippeeee! I was gearing up and bracing myself for some awful diapers, but was pleasantly surprised by them in Ethiopia (I know that is a strange thing to say, but I was) and was very relieved to not have to deal with parasites, or ring worm, or scabies, or lice, or any number of things lots of adopted babies have.

I think you just get what you don't expect. All the nannies said Mamush slept REALLY well and laughed when I asked if he cried when they put him to bed, so we were expecting we'd still get to sleep. Upon returning home, though, Mamush decided he just wanted to stay awake all the time and cry so we'd hold him, which we didn't mind in theory, but by the 8th time in one night we were getting a bit tired of it. He reverted back to newborn schedule, wanting to be fed every couple of hours, so we had a rough week and a half. But, for the last three nights he's just been waking up once or twice!! It's amazing how great 6 hours can feel!
