Living up the Starfish life.

We made it to starfish safely without any problems! We got here around 10 pm yesterday, so we went right to bed, which helped us not have problems with jet lag. Today I woke up at 5 to a baby crying a lot. Mila told me his name is Justin. He's super cute and reminds me of Mia. He might be a favorite. :)
Elise greeted me by chucking her shoe at me because she only wanted to see her nanny. 8 babies were in the hospital this morning and Elise and Gary joined them this afternoon. We are 2 out of 4 volunteers staying at Starfish so we have the big volunteer room all to ourself. Things are a little crazy, but it's getting better. It's really cool to see how much chubbier the babies that were so tiny are now. Chris is big and is getting plenty of love from an older couple that spend lots of time with him. The isolation room is full of 8 little babies plus Seth and Grace who are not so tiny. One of them is super cuddly. She's a favorite but I kind of don't know her name. I don't know all of their names but I'm going to work on it tomorrow. Coco is so much different. She's walking and she very talkative and giggly. Charlotte has changed from being super shy to super outgoing. She thinks everything is super funny. Mila and Chloe are the two kids "in charge". They go around and make sure everything is going all right. Coco likes to help them. It's so much fun to be here again. Tomorrow we are going to go shopping and we might go to the muslim market. I'll send more updates along with some pictures. It's dark and the kids are all sleeping so no picture today. If anyone wants to Skype or FaceTime us while we are over here email me and we'll give you our Skype id. Thanks for all the help with getting donations! They really appreciated it and the babies are already putting everything to good use thanks to Xiao Liu. Miss you tons!
