This morning we received a phone call from the pediatrician. She was thrilled to see a referral picture with a child smiling as she does not come across them very often. It makes us wonder if that is why she was chosen for our family. According to the doctor, the medical records look great. The bloodwork looks clear. Developmentally, she seems to be on target for her age. There was a discrepancy in her gross motor skills, but the doctor said not to be concerned as two different people probably filled out the forms and narrative. Believe it or not, she is considered petite. Looking at the pictures we would never have guessed that. Based on the Chinese growth chart, she is in the 4th percentile on height and 25th percentile on weight. Again, nothing to be concerned about. We will most likely receive an updated medical record before we leave and that will be evaluated as well. The information on this medical evaluation was done in April when she was 6 months old. The doctor estimates (based on some calculations) that she will be approximately 16.5 lbs. and 27 inches when we go to China. At that point, she will be about 11 1/2 months old. Well, that is the medical update.
Tonight, we signed referral acceptance letter and will send it off first thing this week.
Finally, the information everyone has been waiting for...
We are thrilled to announce that we have named her. Although I had a name picked out for months, we spent many hours between last night and this morning researching names and the meaning of names. As a family, we have chosen Rylee WenJi Reagle. We are thrilled and can't wait to bring her home!
PS Jenny chose the date closest to our referral date. Her guess was July 30th. Look for a little something in your mailbox in the next week or so!
