the number of breaths
you take ~
But by the number of moments
that leave you breathless ~
Dan Dan came right to mommy!
Her nanny says good-bye - she was very loved
She even went right to Daddy!
We walk around (she started recently!)
She already has Daddy wrapped!
Mommy feeds her cheerios!
Back at the room - having a little water
I got my first smile from Dan Dan (we were told to call her by this name for the first day or so and then start adding Mia) She is a great baby and has an easy personality...so far!
She did get upset when she heard the other baby crying...one of the babys had a real hard time and she was just looking at her and a small tear just rolled down her cheek. What a sensitive girl!
Dan Dan/Mia is a doll ~ everything I could have imagined but oh, so much more! She is real petite.
Oh, about a few hours before we went to the civil affairs office, our guide told us that she had a heat boyle on her head!!! I was so upset all afternoon wondering how she was, if it was infected, etc. Turns out, it doesn't look all that bad and they gave us some cream for it - better go - time to eat some congee (her not me!)
SO HAPPY ~ ALL IS GOING VERY WELL!!

CONGRATULATIONS! Your (beautiful) daughter is with you, and all is as it should be. We are thrilled for you here, and there is no shortage of tears and emotion. I had trouble sleeping, woke up at 3am and realized, "OMG, they are with Mia now!" and once again couldn't sleep. I couldn't wait to race to the computer to see you all together this morning. This Aunt is very proud and excited! How wonderful to see her doing so well, feeling so happy and at home with her new family. The look on Ed's face is priceless! It will be hard for me to wait to meet her!

On Sunday evening around 9 pm was when I realized that it was Monday morning in China, and that Joanne and Ed were receiving a precious gift from God (via China!) at that time: their daughter Mia! I imagined their love and joy and tears, as their many months of patience (worthy of sainthood!) finally came to peace with their
beautiful baby girl Mia in their arms! Anthony and Eddie:
Congratulations on the arrival of your sister, Mia! You are all so blessed to have one another.
Congratulations Joanne and Ed!Love, cousins Laura, John, Luke, Kali, and Jack
Oh she is so darling!! Hope you are all doing well and getting to know each other!
Blessings to you all!
