Last Day in Nanchang
Today was our last full day in Nanchang and tomorrow we head to Guangzhou for the US consulate stuff. We saw a lot of progress with Julianna today. She has been smiling and giggling most of the day. I started blowing kisses at her and she blew some back at me! She also reached out for me a couple of times and she can now sit for several minutes at a time on Ed's lap facing out instead of always being chest to chest with him. We talked with the UAB clinic and they reassured us that this happens all the time. We just have to keep working with her and be patient since her little world has been turned upside down. Her little smile is the most beautiful thing and can light up the room. She just grins from ear to ear. We toured a pagoda down the street with some of our travel group and went to a grocery store. Pretty interesting trying to buy stuff when everything is in Chinese! Otherwise, it was a pretty low key day spent together just the 3 of us. We are very excited to be going to Guangzhou tomorrow. It's a very large city with lots of shops and actual American type food. We will be staying at the White swan hotel which is famous in the China adoption world. We will complete the American side of the paperwork there and come home next Wednesday!

I have really enjoyed following your blog! When Paisley was a small baby she cried ALL the time. Don't worry...it has only been a few days in the grand scheme of things. She will be fine.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are able to enjoy some sightseeing while you are there. Memories for a lifetime!!!!
You will never be more excited to see a tator tot in your whole life than when you see the breakfast buffet at the White Swan! Check out the playroom on the first floor! I loved the White Swan!
