Wow, where has 3 days gone. Little Hannah has just celebrated her third day birthday with a drink (Credit to Andrea for that joke!) and we are about to head out into the world with a little more luggage and one more member in the family.
It is amazing to look at her and both wonder how anyone could have made her and also to marvel at how adorable and cute she is. In the last three days we've had quite a few nurses and doctors turning up to monitor Andrea and the baby, but not a huge amount. Baby Hannah has had a few injections and all seems to be fine. Her weight has begun to increase now, and we have her birth certificate. When she applies for visas, she'll say she was born in Beijing!
Although it will cost a small fortune to get her registered at the British Embassy and get her a passport, we can't blame the hospital for that. The hospital has been fantastic, and we are very fortunate to have such good healthcare insurance. We've spent 3 nights here after the birth living in a 5-star hotel with decent food delivered 3 times a day (once was a candle-lit dinner with some nicer food and some wine which went down well with Andrea whose only drunk a few sips in the last months), vouchers for a free pram (stroller, if you American) since they are out of stock of their imported prams right now, various other freebies like a massage, creams and lots of information.
So now, as we wait to be discharged, we can consider a new life that is ahead. And of course, once we get home we'll have to set up little Hannah's social network pages so everyone can stay up to date with her activities (hint: she is not doing anything that exciting, but she always looks adorable even when doing nothing at all)!
