LOVE TO ALL!!!! :)
It's now 4:54pm in Nanning and we are back in the hotel room with our new daughter, Bailey! She is a lot smaller than we expected. Things went as well as can be expected since Bailey is a little older than Brinley was. There were a lot of tears when the SWI workers left the room. Brinley did okay until we got in the van, but then she got upset since Bailey was upset and we had a full fledged cry fest on our hands. I think Bailey was a bit confused when Brinley started crying because she got quiet! It's calm at the moment. She is now playing with Sharon and Brinley on the floor. I think Bailey is trying to see just how many pony tail holders one little Chinese girl can fit on her arm! We can tell Brinley only has older brothers. She's a little on the rough side with her new sister. I'm sure Sharon will post more later.
Mama's turn:
Bailey is definitely smaller than I thought she would be. She weighs close to 23 pounds and she comes up to just about Brinley's ear.
This poor baby absolutely grieved and was gripped with panic when she realized that she'd been left alone with strangers. When we got to the room she laid down on the floor and started rocking her tiny body back and forth and just cried her little heart out.
We've made a lot of progress since then. She's had a good bath that she absolutely loved and is now squeaky clean! She and Brinley are playing and running around now. They are moving all of their toys and books from the bed to the little table.
I just leaned down and said, "Mama ching-uh?" and she leaned her cheek over for a kiss. Now she is sitting on my lap giving her baby doll a bottle.
She is just as sweet as can be! Brinley is doing her best to be a great sister. So far she's only pushed her down one time! lol
Thank you so much to everyone for your prayers!!!
