Hello, It is Saturday night here in China. Today, we had our medical exam. Jada was a real tropper. She cried but I was able to console her. I am a good mommy for being so new at this role. haha They tell me she has bronchitis which I would agree but I do think it is much better than I got her. The diarrhea has slowed down. STill has it but that is probably my fault since I am not feeding her right. Still learning. Darla is here. My friend who adopted a little girl from the Hunan Province so she will be helping me. I don't feed quite so alone anymore here in this country. I am so glad. This morning Jada woke up real quiet and peaceful and we had a really calm play time together. She does not nap well. She only takes about 1 - 2 naps daily. She is letting me spoon feed her now most of the time. She is very social. Loves the outdoors. She likes to take baths. Loves the water. Looks at the water and then at me. Cute.Last night I finally trimmed her fingernails. I did okay since she was sound asleep. For the most part we are doing okay..........I think we have bonded and she loves to crawl all over me when playing. Tomorrow is Jada's birthday. Oh yes, they said she weighs 7.4 kg at the medical exam. (I think I remembered that right). I know some of you have been trying to call me. I think I ran out of minutes on my Panda phone. Just call me on the hotel phone. I would say been 8 am to 10 am or around 4pm - 5 pm your time. Use the ATT card I gave you and Kristi and Wendy has my hotel number. Room is 1124. I am doing okay. But, I am so ready to come home to my own home. It is lovely here but being a new mommy in a new city, new country, different laungage and among strangers is a bit draining at times. I heard we got snow in the midwest???? I do love the alone times Jada and I have sometimes when we are still getting to know each other. She can just melt my heart and I feel so totally blessed. Tomorrow, Sunday here, one other family and I are going to Dianbai. I hear it is very country. I hope I can be organize for this trip. It is an all day trip. I am sure I will be downloading some pictures here soon. I miss all of you. I thank those of you who have written me. I thank you for your prayers. Love from very far away, Jane&Jada  Posted by Hello
