French Hospital Visit
Today was a chill out day. We stayed in our room almost all day. At 4pm we took a taxi to the French Hospital for our appointment at 4:50pm (odd time huh?). The doctor said not to worry about the baby not laughing. He attributes it to him only being with us for three days. He gave us a medicine for his chest congestion, one for his nose, a cold cream for his skin, a standby medicine incase he gets fever, and a laxitive. He also ordered blood work to make sure there's no infection. If there is, we will go back to the hospital tomorrow to pick up an antibiotic. It's crazy how cheap things are here. For the visit, blood work, and five prescriptions it was $75.00! Brad says it's probably cheaper for us just to fly back here when we need medical attention instead of going in the states. HaHa Jackson weighs 12.2 lbs, is 24 inches tall, and his head is 16.9 inches around. What a man!
I can tell he's feeling better today and/or getting more used to Brad and I by the way he is so much more animated. He stares and talkes and even cries now. I'm curious to see how he does tonight. He actually cried for a bottle every three hours today and took 4 to 5 ounces each time. I wonder if he'll cry during the night or still sleep through. Above are a few pictures I took today in our hotel room. If the baby is doing better tomorrow will we venture out and do some shopping.
We went eat at a fancy restaurant tonight. Brad was treating since it's Valentines day, or so he says, but the couple with us ended up picking up the tab. I had a steak and mashed potatoes and Brad had a seafood rice dish. It looked similar to a seafood jambalaya.
I'll try to take pictures of the city if we actually leave the hotel tomorrow.

if you are still having trouble with SKype, try Yahoo Messenger with voice. I never was able to get Skype to work the entire time I was there in December.
I hopt the embassy hold up is not bad. We were there a whole month, by myself for half of that and it was stressful. So long as you have someone to help you along though you will do fine. Just remember the embassy isn't out to get you, and will try to work things out rather than try to find a reason to refuse you. Make sense?
I keep checking the blog and I noticed that you did not update yesterday(or today...whichever it is there). It seems so long ago when you left and it is only one week. I think it is because we are all so anxious to meet Baby Jackson. He is so sweet looking! I'm sure we will have to pry him away from you when you all return to get some holding time. We were wondering if you were taking babysitting appointments for weekends yet. If so, put us down for the first Saturday or Sunday. We can't wait to see more pictures. We will keep checking the blog. Love, The Carriere Family
