Ready to come home

Greetings from Guangzhou. We're in the home stretch now and excited to come home and show off our new baby girl. Julie is doing great especially considering that we have learned that she has a sore throat and "the beginnings of bronchitis". We have taken her to two doctors. The hotel doctor gave her an antibiotic and some unknown syrups plus 2 homeopathic powders. Julie hates taking the medication and screams bloody murder every time we put the syringe in her mouth. She has learned to spit it all out so we have to be very crafty.

We learned yesterday that Julie weighes a "hefty" 14.5 pounds. And that was with a wet diaper. :-)

The area around our hotel caters to adoptive parents and this hotel is swarming with families with babies from China. We are pretty much shopped out. If you want something in particular from China you better let us know now or forever hold your peace. We did do a bit of touring today and in about an hour is the famous red couch photo taken at our hotel. This is where all the adopted babies are placed on the red couch for a photo.
