We made it....
Our flight to Guangzhou was delayed and it was 11:30 before we got into the hotel. Sarah was so tired and cried and screamed on the plane. It was so hard for her to sit in a stroller at the airport and then on a plane for hours. Sarah is the kid of girl that needs her sleep. She sleeps 10-12 hours a night and naps for about 2 hours a day. Guangzhou is so different from Nanchang. It is much more like the West and the hotel we are staying at is full with adoptive families. We spent some time this evening in the playroom and meet some really neat people. We went to eat with about 20 other people. It is encouraging to spend time with people that we going through the same thing that you are. Sarah had her medical exam and TB skin test today. She was a trooper. There were some tears but she bounced back rather quickly. She has to go back in Monday to have her TB test read and get her vaccinations. I don't know how many she is going to have to have, but pray that she doesn't have to have many and that she does not get sick from them. We had a good day together. We seem to be getting into a routine and I think that she is learning to trust us more and more. She is sweeter and sweeter everyday. She has such animated facial expressions. For some reason I am not able to upload pictures into the blog right now. I will post some pictures as soon as I can. We miss everyone!

She seems to be bonding quite well with you two!!!!Sarah at work was wondering if you were staying at the white swan? I love you Adrianne
Hi Maria,
I am the "Sarah at work" that Adrianne was referring too. She gave me the link to you blog and I have enjoyed hearing about your trip. It brings back so many memories for our trip. We certainly enjoyed Guangzhou. It sounds like you may be at the White Swan which is a beautiful hotel. The food was much better and it is awesome to meet all the families! There are so many neat shops within walking distance. It really sounds like your family is doing very well! Sarah is sooooo cute. I love her pictures. Once you get home and settled, the long agonizing wait will be a distant memory. Good luck on your return trip. The long flight and airport sitting is very hard on the little ones, but that too will soon be forgotten. Sarah
She is about the cutest thing EVER!
If you can, you could give her a dose of Tylenol before she has her shots. That might offset some of the pain from the injections and afterpain.
