Well we are sitting here in our room waiting for our lil man to arrive,so to kill some time thought we would catch up on some blogging. Today started off very early. We met our guide at 5:45 am to catch our flight. It was a wirl wind event at the airport, but we made it with a few minutes to spare! Thank goodness! The Beijing airport is HUGE and crazy! Our new guide Jenni was waiting for us at the airport as promised, waving her big green flag. She is very nice and we love her already. She told us that she talked to the orphanage today and that our son is doing well, so that is good news. Apparantly they will be bringing him to us at our hotel at 3 pm. We are to wait in our room and she will call us and then bring him to us. Oh my, we can not hardly stand it!!!!!!!!!! To pass the time, we unpacked and organized our room. Then we went to lunch at the hotel. We each had a nice noodle dish (not too adventurous yet) and 2 beers to calm the nerves. A very nice meal for only $11.00! WOW!
Nanchang is so different than Beijing. The traffic here is crazy to say the least. In fact it is kinda scary. Our guide was talking to me in the car and I was trying so hard to focus on her and be polite but deep down I honestly thought we were going to die. No joke, it is that awful. She was telling us all these places that we can walk to with Tai, but we are not sure if we even want to attempt crossing the street!!! Sometime when we feel our lives are not in danger we will take some pics of this traffic for you.
Our hotel room is very nice. Our two twin beds are very soft. A step up from the bricks with sheets that we had in Beijing. We have a little crib for our little Rou Rou and a little baby bathtub. Too cute. We are also on the same floor as the play room. Now the "playroom" is kinda funny, it is actually 2 baby walkers and 2 plastic rocking rabbits. Kinda funny! But atleast it gives us a large space to run and play. Jason found the cartoon channel and they have Thomas the Train and Sponge Bob in chinese.
Hope you enjoy the pics. I am getting quite proficient at the squatty potty! The one pic is of our group at the silk factory "making" a silk blanket. We miss you all and we have SO many stories to tell! We are having a great time. Exhausted but still in great spirits. My heart just lept out of my chest b/c there was a knock at the door - only housekeeping. But 30 minutes to go! We will write more later. Love you all!!!!!!!!!
Jason wants me to leave a few trivia questions for you.....
1. What is the most popular fast food restaurant and child birthday party spot in nanchang?
2. Who will cry harder today, Tai, Heidi, or Jason?
the winner gets a fried sea horse on a stick.... hee hee

Hi Heidi and Jason!!! Glad you made it to Nanchang! We are hanging in out hotel room. The hotel is a little far from the tourist area and there isn't much to do on your own. Hope things went well with Tai. Looking forward to seeing pics tomorrow and reading all about it! Can't wait to meet up again in Guangzhou!

According to the little clock on the blog you have had Tai for about 5 hours now. I know this is the best day of your lives. Tell him his Aunt Ginny loves him already!!!!!! I can hardly wait to see todays pictures.
Most popular fast food restaurant...my vote is for KFC. I have heard they are everywhere! Congrats on getting Tai. He is very handsome!

Hey I recognize that squatty potty! Looks just like the ones we used in Japan. Very handy when, well...nevermind.
