Day 4 - Chongqing - pics

We made it to Chongqing!! This is the province where we will be receiving our daughter at last. On the ride over to the hotel we got some reassuring news... We received a call from the airport telling us our luggage SHOULD be at the airport here in Chongqing at 6pm China time. This is good except we will have to drive the 40 minutes by taxi back to the airport and hope we find where to go and get it if it is indeed there. I will let you know how it goes. We arrived at the hotel which is interesting. Its a fairly new 5 star hotel called the Sofitel Luxury hotel. Shortly after settling in a bit the crib arrived. You can not imagine the feelings you can have when someone comes to your room and fixes up a crib with down blanket and pillow right in front of you with such loving care. I am sorry to say we are having some issues posting pics but we are working on that and will post some when we can, if we can. After our crib showed up we were rushing off to go fill out more paperwork that never seems to end. We heard about some things the babies are doing and things they like but not much. We were told the paper now was so we can focus on the baby tomorrow. Right now I am here while "G" so kindly went with the group shopping for some snacks and beverages. When they return I will probably be off to the airport via taxi with our Coordinator for translation and comfort purposes. I hope to come back with luggage which carrys all the gifts for everyone, necessities and clothes for us and toys and things for the baby. Once finally back and able to slow down and relax a bit we will be off to find some dinner. Tomorrow will be the big day! Tomorrow about 3:30pm China Time we will meet our baby for the first time. It still seems so unreal. Its even hard to believe we are in China at times. It all seems like a dream. I just can't wait for the wonderful day to have the proof it is a reality. I can not wait to touch her, hold her, smell her and just spend the rest of my life with our "Beautiful Gift From God" we will receive tomorrow. For those of you who do not know or remember Mikayla means "gift from God" while Xiu means, "Beautiful". Well I am going to let you soak that up for a while as you celebrate with us that we are one step closer to luggage and our baby. Blessings to all and thanks for all the prayers I know that is the only thing keeping me sane through all that we have been through so far.
