Officially ours

We completed all of our province paperwork this morning. Zoe is legally ours. We're on a lunch break now but are going to go to the Walmart in Nanchang this afternoon. Zoe was a great sleeper last night. She fell asleep at 7:30pm, had about a 1/2 hour wake up at 11:45 and then slept until we woke her up at 6am. I have a feeling that was a fluke. She's doing better with the bottle and just took some rice cereal with a spoon. I think she thought the spoon was really cool. Still no #2 (which those in adoption world know is important) but I have suppositories on stand by for tomorrow if need be. Since she liked the spoon, I may try to give her some prunes tonight. We had to give her some Tylenol cough and cold today as most of the babies have a cold. No fever though which is good and I'm trying to get it under control so it doesn't spread to her ears. She had her first bath with us today....she's not a fan. She is loving the Stacking cups though and right now she is listening very contently to a Chinese lullaby CD. I think right now she is fighting a nap. She slept during our appointments this morning. On an aside, of all the wonderful things the Chinese do well...air conditioning isn't one of them. Seriously, it's miserablely hot and humid in the buildings. Our hotel room is also a bit warmer than we'd like. We're going to crank that AC this summer at home.

Nanchang is definitely different than Beijing. While Beijing just felt like any other large city, Nanchang really makes us realize we're in China. In Beijing there is so much construction and a lot of things are in English so you kind of forget you're in China. You can't do that in Nanchang. Oh, one really interesting thing we've noticed...all of the maniquins (sp?) are of Caucasian people, even the ones selling traditional Chinese ware. Anyway, I'll try to post more pictures tomorrow. This is such an amazing, wonderful, (stressful at times) experience. It's amazing how quickly you can fall in love.
