This will be a very short post as the internet fees are outrageous here in Guangzhou. We are all doing just great. Brooklyn's cold is almost completely gone and it is helping her sleep better and have her personality come out even more. She is such a joy. We are beginning to figure out her sleeping procedures, so getting her to nap/bed is becoming less painful for all of us.

The White Swan Hotel is amazing. It is beautiful and has wonderful amenities. The breakfast bar is incredible. It has all the western food we have been craving- except Mexican food. Darn!

The flight on Tuesday to GZ was quite the ordeal. If this was a taste of what the 15 hour flight will be like, I can tell you now that I will jump off the plane into the Pacific. She cried the entire 2 hours. I'm hoping it was due to what we think was an ear infection. Either way, we are going to buy medicine to knock her butt out.

Yesterday we had the exit physical exam. She is healthy as can be and actually did weigh in at 21 pounds. She feels much lighter though.

Today we had to wait in our room for 2 hours while our co-ordinator was doing the consulate work. He called about an hour ago and told us we are okay and all of our paperwork is fine. What a relief. So that means that tomorrow we go to the consulate and swear in Brooklyn. She will officially be ours in American eyes and will be a citizen when we pass through the port in Los Angeles.

I will not write again until we get to LA since the internet fees are expensive here. We leave in two days and can't wait to get back home.
