Drink up!

Bethany never drank formula so we never learned how to mix up bottles. Tom and I were discussing this yesterday and he said, "Maybe we should practice. Kind of like, 'Ok, here's your son, now feed him.' "

Anyone got a can of Chinese baby formula sitting around I can practice with?

I sure hope someone in China tells us what to buy or else our little guy may end up drinking seafood flavored gatorade from the local Chinese Wal-Mart.

On a related note, we had some watermelon flavored coca cola from China at Epcot Saturday and it was delicious. We took a picture so we can try and find it in China. Perhaps Caleb would like some of that? ; )

Hi,

Your son is adorable!

At 19+months, he may no longer be on formula--it is ahrd to say. Our first daughter was still on formula at 16-months-- she was also eating table food and began giving up her formula schedule while in China. I think because she was getting more table food than she usually got. She still wanted it at night to go to sleep and it was easy enough to give her a bottle in the morning to tide her over until breakfast. You can try looking at yahoo groups for your son's SWI and asking other parents what type of formula their kids were given. Some of them can be purchased in the US and you can take it with you. Sometimes the SWI will give you a little bit of formula to have so you have time to get it yourself.

Thanks for the comment Reena. Unfortunately our SWI yahoo board is not active and I've had a hard time finding anyone who has been there. His last update says he doesn't like to eat solid food because of his cleft palate so I really am not sure what he's eating. Guess we'll figure it out real quick once we get there!

I do hope the SWI gives us a little formula until we can get some. That would be nice.

We knew all weeked that the new list was coming out on Monday night. I got more and more nervous as we got closer. By Tuesday morning, I was popping the pepto bismal chewables-heartburn which I have only had one other time (at the end of my pregnancy). There was no guarantee we would even receive a referral off the list, but we were hopeful. Tuesday morning I took Bethany to church for mother's morning out, nervously bought soap and 75% of Valentine's conversaion hearts at Target, and then I went to Panera and got a fruit punch. I set up my laptop, put my phone on the table, and nervously surfed the web until I couldn't handle it anymore. The wait was getting to me. I headed out of Panera and spilled my drink all over the place. Smooth one Katie. I got in my car and headed to the beach. Didn't get very far.....my phone rang......."Holt"........ I pulled over and it was THE call! 11:00am on February 22 Caleb became part of our family. We proudly introduce you...
