So I think we figured out why baby girl is not eatting so well right now.
It has something to do with the roof of her mouth, she needs to have special nipples and I imagine she may need either dental work or some surgery when we bring her home to repair the problem. I don't know the exact name of the problem but it is almost like the roof of her mouth has a gap or something up there and she can't get the sucking down without a special nipple. I am so glad it seems pretty minor.

We also got some more pictures of her yesterday she looks so mad in them, like ok I was sleeping and you woke me up for a freakin' picture. hahaha

I am so glad to hear that you got some answers. Hopefully she will get the hang on using the new nipple.

I've heard of that happening! It's like a cleft palate but not open all the way to the front. Totally fixable! I hope she gets home quick so you can get it fixed for her.

Would Vietnam ever allow you to bring her home sooner due to medical issues? We are looking into that for Ryan as we were told he will need surgery on his umbilical hernia when he gets back.

I hope all continues to go well for little miss P.
