Finally getting the babies -

We made it to Nanchang with no problems.  The hotel is about 1/2 hour from the airport. We are staying at the Gloria Hotel - I stayed her in 2005 with some friends of mine that were adopting.  It is a nice hotel - they provide cribs for the babies, little bath tubs and strollers for us which is very helpful.

Our room is beautiful we are very happy that we decided to go with a suite here too.  The room has a nice living space with a couch and some chairs, a tv/entertainment center and a dining area.  There is a kitchenette also and then a large master bedroom.  We have two baths this time which will be nice because the other families will be able to hang out here with us and let the girls play.

When we walked into the room the first thing I saw was the crib!!!  Okay it is starting to feel a little more real.  I just stood there staring at the crib for about five minutes.  Madelin kept saying Mom why are you looking at the crib?  We actually leave the hotel in about 30 minutes to head over to the Civil Affairs office where we will meet the girls for the first time.  Today will be a short visit.  We will sign a paper saying that we will take good care of Bo Wan for the next 24 hours.  They make sure we are the right people and then they will give us Molly.  The process should only take about 10 minutes.  Then we will come back to the hotel and hope she will not be to scared.  We will try and get to know her and hopefully she will start to feel comfortable with us.  Although her paperwork said that when a stranger comes in the room that she screams!!!!  Yikes.

Tomorrow we will go back to the Civil Affairs office and finalize the paperwork.  We will be in Nanchang for 8 days - this is longer then normal.  Usually we would only be here for 5 days.

So we leave soon - guess I better figure out how to make a bottle again.  Pray that it goes well.  We are so excited and just cant believe this is finally happening!!!
