These are kind of in reverse order, the sleeping shot is from this morning. Jade was up all night and wouldnt let Scott put her down, so at 5:00 am I strapped her into the carrier and she and I walked around the hotel until 7:30 then had breakfast together, she is beginning to like me :) - which is a good thing. She ate a Croissant with Jelly, I don't remember what the heck I ate I was just so happy she wasnt freaking out! :)
The photo of Scott in the black shirt holding Jadie who is in the Pink sweater is "Gotcha" Day - as you can see she really liked him from the beginning, she didnt cry or anything she just checked him out and touched his hair. She was given to me first and completely freaked out which was kind of good because I didnt cry, I just freaked out too (ha, ha, ha). It was absolute mayhem on Gotcha Day - babies screaming, tons of people all over, having to pull together paperwork and make bottles - YEHA!
The picture with Scott holding Jade with her smiling - she is actually smiling at me, not at the bottle with food (good thing huh? ) and the shot of the town is downtown metropolitan Jaingxi China, it's a cool place, I think over 8 Million people and more buildings than I've ever seen in my life. It's not as European as Beijing so we are getting to see the "real" China.
One of the pictures is at the Notary Office, Scott and I are with the Director of Jadies Orphanage and the woman who is in charge of all of the adoptions. The gave us a photo album with pictures of the orphanage, Jadies Nanny (Fu Hu Di) and a business card so we can email/snail mail updated photos - we also got a piece of Porcelin (sp?) and a silver charm from them for Jade.
Since we didnt have a good night last night, we all decided to stay at the hotel and just lay low, we thought Jade was getting a cold, but she seems A-OK now. We ordered room service - Spaghetti for Scott and I, a ham sandwich (for Scott) and some rice with Eggs for Jade - it was so nice to not have Chinese food (even though it was really Chinese food - ha, ha, ha). We also walked around outside but decided to come back to the hotel becuase we completely stand out and the beggers make a B-Line for us - We went to Walmart yesterday, what a freakin trip! A Bizillion people in the store and it was 3 stories. Amazing, but we did OK!
