We are in her province!

Today we waited in our hotel room, went out to eat, packed up, talked to our local contact then headed to the airport. While talking to our contact we were told "maybe you will get your daughter tomorrow (Sunday), not yet confirmed." So we thought to ourselves - we are in China and we need to be patient. We know for sure we will go home with her.....
We arrived in Nanchang around 8:45 pm and we were picked up by a women named Alicia. She brought us to our hotel and told us we will meet our daughter tomorrow. They always say "meet" as if we only get to see her, but actually we will get her! We were thrilled to hear that. She said maybe 4 or 4:30 - again the Chinese way, everything is a round about time frame. She said they will bring her to our room. Eden will travel from the city she has been living in (FengCheng) to where we are - about an hour drive. Then tomorrow we do some paperwork than Tuesday to Thursday sightseeing in this area, hopefully traveling back to FengCheng to see where she has been and possibly to see where she was found. Wish we could just do that tomorrow!
Anyway, then on Friday we go to Guangzhou where the US consulate is located to finish out the paperwork. Then on to the US on the 30th.

I so hope I can post pictures of Eden tomorrow - however this internet is so slow that we are not sure. Pray we can! It was fun to unpack a bit when we got to the hotel and to be able to get the baby stuff out. Our lives will never be the same after tomorrow!!! It's kind of like when labor first starts and you realize - wow I am really going to be having this baby! Will I be able to sleep tonight - probably not.

Oh - we could not get Facebook to load so if anyone wants to pass that on to our close friends n fam that they need to check our blog that would be great!

Signing off for now - check back tomorrow for hopefully some pictures of our little girl!
