getting back to the swing of things

well its been 4 days since Jianna and I have come home, and Jianna is adapting to her new envirnment slowly but surely...yesterday she went to see her pediatrician Dr. Lee....and poor Jianna had to have 5 shots plus they had to take blood from her....My poor baby was NOT happy at all....I felt so bad for her, but I knew it needed to be done..as we were leaving the Doctor's office, I was so happy to see Grace, Elio and Mykala in the waiting room...I did not realize just how much I really missed everyone , until I saw them....it was soooo nice to see some of my WHFC buddies....Well Jianna Is sleeping well,last night was the first time she did not wake up at all....she went to bed at 10:00 and is still sleeping at 8:00.....she adores her brothers, and is warming up to her daddy....so far so good.....I find myself just looking at her, I just can't believe that this little Angel is ours...

Carmen update with Jia

Carmen met Jianna today for the first time and they hugged while exchanging tears. Group members video taped each others special moments so all is documented. Carmen told me that Jia has taken a warm liking to her after they left and went to the hotel. She walks fine ,eats well and fell asleep on the first try. Carmen sent me photos and they are beautiful. Carmen said that she feels complete now-- having her little girl. I won't be complete until they land in Jersey next Thursday.
talk to you soon---Dante

Carmen update

I've been in touch with Carmen and she is doing great in China. Her travel group is helping her along the way. She toured the Forbidden City yesterday and will walk The GREAT WALL tomorow. After that it's off to pick up Jia. Sunday night here is Monday morning there, so at 10 or 11PM our time Easter Sunday, Carmen will meet Jianna for the first time.
I'm very proud of her. She was very nervous when she left, but she is enjoying the experience and becoming more and more confident. I will update again after she picks up our daughter.... Our DAUGHTER.... (now I'm getting nervous)
