Guangzhou

Well we got into Guangzhou late last night. This morning the babies all had medical exams and the doctor said Grace has a touch of bronchitis, which may explain the rather tough couple of nights we've had. She wakes and screams, doesn't want the bottle, and we can't seem to get her calmed down. The other parents thought she might be having night terrors from being separated from her foster family. But now that we know she has more than just a cold, that might be the problem or at least part of it. We got some antibiotics from the pharmacy and it seems to be helping already. She took a good nap this afternoon.

We took our laundry to a little shop right next to the hotel and they let us borrow a stroller for the rest of our stay for free. Guangzhou, at least this part of it anyway, is much nicer than Wuhan. There are beautiful trees and plants everywhere, there is a park close by and the hotel is right along a river. It's quite humid here, but so far not terribly hot. We ate supper at Lucy's Cafe about a block from the hotel - the guys had steak and they said it was fantastic. We can even buy cola light here (the equivalent of diet coke in the US) where we couldn't find it in Wuhan.

We got our paperwork completed today for the appointment at the US consulate on Monday. The hotel here has a play room and they gave us all Barbies with little chinese babies compliments of Mattel.

We're all starting to miss everyone and home terribly, can't wait for you all to meet our Grace. We're in the home stretch now.
