Sweet snuggles in Guangzhou














Today (Sat 5/30) we took it really easy. The flight into Guangzhou from Nanning, while only an hour, didn't arrive until almost 9:30pm on Friday night. By the time we got to our hotel & got checked in it was 10:30 and we all got to bed rather late. So we enjoyed sleeping in and a lazy breakfast. After breakfast Georgea had her medical exam with the American Doctor who is traveling with our group of adoptive families. The exam went very well! Georgea is in the 90th percentile for height & weight on the Chinese chart. She also seems very healthy. We are so happy and feel very blessed. We spent the remainder of the day hanging out at the hotel catching up on rest and just taking it easy. The White Swann in Guangzhou is a pretty wonderful place to hang out. It's so clean, beautiful and comfortable. It has many of the nice amenities that we westerners are so spoiled with at home.

In the afternoon we went to have Georgea's Visa photo taken. She was a wiggle worm, but they did manage to get a good shot. After the photo shoot we headed to a delicious Thai restaurant with our entire group. The food was great & it was nice to hang out with the other families. Georgea loves the other children. She is very interested in them, and it's pretty sweet to watch.

Before we headed out for Georgea's visa photo Daddy took some shots of Georgea in her "Sleepywrap" with Mommy. I love the Sleepywrap! It is the best for snuggling and Georgea really likes it too. I've been using the wrap & James is using the Baby Bjorn. I don't know if this baby will ever sit in a stroller....we can't put her down!

Dear Amy,
LOVED seeing mommy snuggling with baby girl...miss you and think of the three of you often. We are so thankful to your friend Sue for posting pics and updates. We look forward to these each day. We're glad Georgea's first flight went well. She is such an easy baby!! My goodness!! We are so happy for you and James. We pray both of you are feeling better. Enjoy your time in Guangzhou. Our favorite restaurants were the Thai restaurant, that it sounds like you've already experienced, and Lucy's...thank heavens for Lucy's! I'm sure you will love the market! You can teach baby girl how to get those bargains.

Love You!
Cathy Andry (and company)
