I cannot go back and look at my blog to see what I have written or posted, due to being a little tired, I cannot remember...hahahaha! So sorry if I am repeating myself over and over. I really want to be able to look back and be able to reconstruct this huge time in our lives for Emma. Someday she might want to know what went into bringing her into our family, so thanks for taking that in account and thanks so much for the comments you who have commented have NO IDEA how it has encouraged me and Justin.
Once we got Emma in our hands yesterday, we brought her back to the hotel. We talked our guide into at least helping us find some bottled water, which she finally took Justin out on the street to find a vender for that. We are in a beautiful hotel, nicer than the Couer D Alene (our room is on the 23 floor) but outside is another story. I think we will find it easier to venture out as we are not so tired and know what to expect from Em. So anyway, we figured out a bottle for the little one and gave her some oatmeal we had brought, (not a good idea, as it came up), we gave up on eating dinner after we asked every person in the lobby and no one could help us. :) Fishy crackers did the job. We aren't starving. :) Emma had a bath and then fell asleep in her Daddy's arms and transitioned right to her crib. She woke in the night with a 101.8 fever but thankfully I brought meds to help her through the night. She is coughing very raspy, but I don't think she is getting worse. There is a hospital very close by if we get too concerned.
We woke very early and had breakfast in the lobby...which made us feel so much better. The highlight of the morning was talking to family back home...parents and kids! We have only heard how great our kids are doing and we are so thankful they are in great hands...we haven't worried a bit about them, but miss them something fierce. It has only been gone for six days but it feels longer. Love you all!

Your kids are doing great! We have had some fun adventures together and they are all very excited about their new sister! Mark was grinning from ear to ear on Sunday. Glad to hear your hotel is nice! Praying you can get some rest and continued sweet time with Emma. She is already loved so much by all of us on the other side of the world that can't wait to meet her!
ReplyDeleteAfter spending "mid-winter" break with your adorable kiddos, i am feeling some separation anxiety from them too! I can not even begin to imagine how hard it must be for you to be so many miles away from them, and unable to share their newest sister with them. Rest assured that they are doing WONDERFULLY, could not be more excited about their new sister, and while they anxiously await your arrival, they are thinking it is a pretty fun "vacation at Grammys!" She knows how to spoil them good! :) They are loved and cherished by us all. We can't help but feel the hole that is left by our 3 family members in China though! Can't wait for one big sweet family reunion!
