Mia was very sick last night and most of today. She didn't sleep very much at all and kept waking up frequently. Her fever was around 102. She sounds very congested and can only take a few sips of her bottle before she has to stop and breathe. We started her on the Zithromax(antibiotic) as soon as we saw the fever was going up and she seems to have started feeling better around noon. She actually ate a little egg and tomato. She has slept most of the day. However when she is awake she is very happy. She smiles and even laughed a little at David. She likes to be held(by Daddy) and will settle for me when he's not in the room. I'm having fun giving him a hard time but I think he is really enjoying the favoritism.
We got positive sleep reports from all the other families in the group. 13 babies in all. Most of the babies slept a good 9 - 11 hours. We are staying at a very large hotel in Nanchang. Right now in this hotel there are 200 adoptive families and babies.Our guide told us the hotel manager was a little overwhelmed when we arrived. It has been very interesting to meet the other adoptive parents from literally all over the world. Some from Canada, Spain, Netherlands and England. You can't get on the elevator without running in to someone new.
We had a mandatory notary meeting today, It was mandatory because after a short 4 question interview Mia became officially ours.
After the meeting we went to a Wal-mart supercenter. It was a true WalMart. Very intresting to see all the things they sell. They even had door greeters,(they used their best english to say "welcome to Wal-mart"
Not many pictures today because Mia has been so sick and has slept almost all day. I added a few to yesterday's gallery because a friend on the trip took several photos of us in our gotcha moment. I was so glad he did because it was like a wedding or graduation. I was so excited and it went so fast I don't remember a thing about it.
Please remember Mia in your prayers today. We pray that this fever will leave her and she will feel like playing and eating soon.
