WE GOT HER!!!

[jeriendhal]

moonshadowed and her mom picked little Georgia Grace Qian Ya Day today at 10am Nanjing time and about 10pm Sunday EST. This is the email she just managed to send me.

We have her. she seems to be having some stomach upset (diarhea) and has been pretty miserable because of it. (at least we think that is most of the problem...) we did get a few smiles and laughs out of her at one point....but then she will screw up her face and bawl...then she will be calm...and play..then bawl... a few times she has reached for me to be held. Right now Mom is holding her and she is mostly calm.

and shes like Thom in that she prefers to be walking outside. Her next favorite thing seems to be looking at the picture book I sent in the care package...and the doll baby.

Wierd Factoid: Talking to my mom last night she mentioned little Georgia was found by the police on the same day that her namesake, my grandmother Georgia Easton, was born. By the orphanage's best estimate she was actually born on March 23rd, which just happens to be my birthday. I'm not sure I believe in destiny but WOW.

Edit: Here's a link to Tracy's adoption blog with pictures of her trip. No pics of Georgia up yet, they've had a very tiring day.

Congratulations!

How soon do you get to meet your new daughter?

She'll be coming home on July 10th. They're going to be spending some more time in Nanjing and then go to another province to get her visa from the American Consulate.

Yay, awesome!

Actually, those sort of coincidences are what my mom calls "karma", her idea of a really malleable for of destiny, I guess. She's Japanese but I have no idea if that's mainstream or just one of my mom's quirks, but it's kind of nice to think about. =)
