Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away...
Gotcha!
Okay go ahead and look at the pictures, then come back to hear about our day! We left Beijing around 10:30am and arrived in Nanchang about 2:15pm. We were originally told that we would meet the babies at 5pm, however when we landed our guide told us that we would meet them at 4pm. So we checked-in our room, unpacked, got the diaper bag ready and headed to the 2nd floor to wait for the babies. There were a total of 5 other families with us. They brought Jinjue right by me and I did not recognize her. I looked and thought for a minute, no too young. But it was her.
The ladies from the orphanage recognized me from the pictures I sent. When I approached Jinjue she melted. She cried at the sight of me. When I held her she pushed me away. Once I let her down, she walked over to the ladies from the orphanage and calmed down. She was fine as long as she didn't have to look at us! She interacted with the other kids and took some cheerios from Dave. It was heartbreaking to leave the room. She screamed and cried. Once we got her in the room she stood facing away from us trying to open the door to leave. About 10min. later I wiped her nose and that was it! She let me! So I took the opportunity and undressed her. She had on about 3-4 layers of clothes on. I will count them later. Dave ran a bath and I bathed her. Once I had her in a towel close to me she held on!!! She hasn't let go since. She is fine as long as she is on me. Which by the way is just fine with me. If I try to walk away she cries. She wouldn't sleep in the crib last night, so we cuddled! She is just waking up now, so I have to go. There is so much more I need to say about our day. I am hoping to have some down time today to catch up on our posts!
Kids- We love you and miss you very much. You sister is beautiful and I can't wait for you to see her. We will talk on Skpe tonight! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoox
