First off, THANK YOU to everyone who sent your well wishes emails....we have received them all....!!!! we are SOO thrilled to share our journey with you, via the 'blog'......okay.....first night.....wow....did it go great.....!!! after our last blog, we stayed in the room...played a bit...gave her a tubbie.....then we met everyone downstairs for dinner.....she didn't do great taking a bottle, but did great eating table food....!!! after dinner, had to do some papework, and zach was exhausted.....Zach and i came upstairs.....he fell asleep a little after 8....Bella, Tina and I played a bit....she was just happy to be held......we tried to put her in the crib alittle after 8, but wasn't ready yet....she played some more....we put her in a little after 8:30.....she didn't cry.....complain....everynow and then, would pop her little head up, look around, and plop back down....(we have noticed that she is very very nosy...looks around the restaurant...wont miss anything.....and.....tina heard the waitresses comment in chinese that shes nosy...mmmm, just like her mom????).....a little before nine, she was out cold.....sleeps just like Zach did....on her tummy,...bum up in the air......well......its almost 7 am here....and she JUST woke up.....!!! didn't get up ONCE the whole night....9 to 7, no crying...no waking up.......and when she got, she is very happy...sitting on the bed with Big Brother, who is thrilled this morning..(yesterday, he was over tired, but we chatted this morning before Bella got up and all he kept saying is he is so glad he is with us...how much he wanted to meet her....how cute she is..how much he loves her...yes, that will change...but for now, he is excited....and i just heard him tell Tina not to put her milk in that cup..she likes the other one!!!).......today, we go back to the hotel they brought her to (about 10 minutes away) for a small ceremony..then we have the day free......spend it relaxing...maybe go for a swim...nanning city is much 'nicer' than Beijing......warm and humid...although we do stick out more.......people stop and stare......I am smiling as i write this as i hear Zach giving her a bottle and telling Mom what to do.....!!!
