Sunday

Sunday was a day of sight-seeing. We went to the Chen Temple which was a kind of museum and also had beautiful gardens. We then went to the supermarket for more diapers and then to lunch. Both the guides (in Wuhan and Guangzhou) have been wonderful. They speak english very well and make sure we have everything we need and go where we need to go.

Grace had a better night last night. I think the antibiotics are working. We've been giving her gerber prune/apple juice periodically (which she loves) because some of the babies have been constipated. We'll I'm not sure if it was the medicine or the prunes, but today she had...well let's just say she's definitely not constipated. She made such a mess we had to get a new bedspread and blanket on the bed. Grant was totally grossed out.

She's still a bit cranky (I'm not sure if it's the bronchitis or the medicine) and will fight sleep sometimes, which she didn't do when we first got her. She refuses to eat any type of solid food. We've tried many things and she won't take any of it. I'm not too concerned, she'll eat that when she's ready and she drinks her formula mixed with a little rice cereal very well. She loves the stroller and loves to just go places and look around. One of her favorite things it to lay by us on the bed and play with our faces.

Tomorrow morning our guide will take our documents to the US Consulate for final approval. In the afternoon, we go shopping.

We are sorry to hear she is not feeling well. We can't wait till you get home and till we can see her! I am sure once a routine is part of her life, things will improve. It is only a matter of a few days until you all will have her at home...in a very loving home where she can begin to feel secure. Only a few more days!!
