Nanjing

We are beginning our second day in Nanjing and our last day as a family of three. Tomorrow  10am we will be leaving the hotel to go get Matthew. We are both excited and nervous about all that he will go through tomorrow and the subsequent days but are praying for a smooth transition for him. The jet lag this trip is really taking a toll on me and I hope with each day it gets a little better. I just feel so tired and then can only sleep for about five hours. i know this will pass. We have been skyping with Olivia at home and that has definitely helped being able to see her and talk to her. Leaving Olivia was very difficult but I am managing.Today we are going to head up to the Hunan Rd and to the Nanjing Drum Tower. Then we will spend the evening getting ready for the arrival of our beautiful boy    All the Best   Steve and Kate.

Hello from Nanjing

We arrived safely in Nanjing as planned and checked into our hotel all is well but we are tired and fighting to stay awake to get over this jet lag. I spoke with the in country coordiantor today and we need to meet her in the lobby Monday am at 10am to go get Matthew. Now that I am here in China I just want to go get him now.  Steve and I are hoping to feel more human tomorrow after hopefully a full nights sleep and we will be out and about in Nanjing getting the lay of the land. Oh I almost forgot Happy New Year to all    I'll post soon    Kate
