Hello All!
We are now a family of three! --What an experience! We arrived in Nanchang about 2 pm and had about one hour to unpack our bags and get back downstairs for a 2 hour meeting. After we got all of our instructions of the “how to’s” we left to go pick up the babies.

Kaitlin was real quiet for about the first 5 minutes and then WOW~!
She has a set of lungs --- we received Kaitlin about 5:45 pm
She cried until about 7:15 –poor thing... but we won her over with Cheerios and a bath --- She loved the bath.
She took about ¾ of her bottle before one of us had to go to another meeting, so Craig stayed with Kaitlin and I went to the meeting. We put her in the stroller and I sent Kaitlin and Craig off to the hallways. He reports that she likes doing wheelies and looking at herself in the mirror.
When I returned though the fun had begun to run out and she was back to wanting comforted. We ate some more cheerios and headed down to the buffet where she ate Congee (watered down rice) and some bread and all the sudden she starting smiling at us!!!

Now she is very upset if I’m out of her sight! She follows Craig with her
eyes everywhere he goes!
Oh and I tried on two of the sleepers that I brought and they were too short –she seems like she has long legs –but we will know more tomorrow when we can actually compare all the babies to each other.
Well, that’s it for now, Craig and I have been up since 2am because we couldn’t sleep and ended up listening to the Buckeye game on the internet so we are very tired.

We have a very busy day tomorrow and will try to post again or send email with photos. More about the city of Nanchang tomorrow also.
Oh and by the way, this week I will have to email with updates because for
some reason we can’t get to our blogs... we think they are blocked.
Enjoy the photos
Love Traci, Craig and Kaitlin
PS. If you see someone that I may have missed please forward the blog to them.

PSS. Sorry for the delay or double email and possible triple post--I'm having difficulty getting to our blog - right now I'm guessing at what buttons to push to publish because everything is in Chinese characters!

I am not sure if I was able to leave a comment on this site or I instant messaged it to you.
She looks like a keeper like we would have wanted to send her back!! Can't wait to see and hold her.
