We had a 2 hour flight to Nanchang and a50 min bus ride to hotel. We arrived around 1pm and had to meet for paperwork at 2.
We got the phone call at 3:30 to come down to the lobby to get the girls. Other families were already with their babies when we arrived. Our two were lying on the couch with their caretaker waiting. She handed P Paige first, who he handed to me, then he got Phoebe.
They are much smaller than I expected, maybe fitting into 6-9 mo clothes with room to spare. At times they look identical and other times completely different, P keeps asking me, which one is that? I think phoebe is a bit larger and fussier and seems to be a little more vocal to get what she wants. Paige is more quiet and content and sucks her fingers. Both seem to have a crouppy cough and stuffed up nose.
Prayer needs:
The girls stay healthy and bond with us.
Nate has an easy transition to big brother, yesterday was hard for him.
It warms up a bit, expecting snow tomorrow for our sightseeing day.uggh.
These are a few pictures from my phone of us receiving the girls. I will post more later, we have another busy day of paperwork and buying supplies. Paige is on the left in both.
Love
Kare

Beautiful- just do what you can. It all gets easier once you get home and into a routine.
They are beautiful little girls -- you two are very lucky!! Enjoy them!!
What 2 beautiful gifts from God. You are all 5 in our prayers. I know that you will be very anxious to get home now and get them to your pediatrician. Without a doubt, these precious little girls will bond with you as you two are very special folks who will make awesome, wonderful, caring, loving parents. CONGRATULATIONS on finally holding onto your daughters. I'm certain Nate will have some some adjustement as he has been the only one and now he must share his tim but if any two people can do this, you can.
I look forward to more of these "tiny" princesses. I pray that they are healthier.
