(Wednesday November 25)
Hello from Nanchang!

Well here I am, writing during Nap time!

I only have about ten minutes before I need to waken Hannah to get her ready to head to the Pagoda that is very close to our hotel with our group. It is so beautiful and a gorgeous day here so it should be a wonderful treat.

Yesterday after writing we did indeed go to our guide's room for our translation and then again for the outfits. We ordered Hannah a lovely set to have as a souvenir of her birthplace. We also ordered her a silver bracelet with her chinese name engraved inside.

Last night for supper we were a little disappointed. We ordered three things off of the menu but weren't able to eat 2 of the 3! We really are being careful with the food and it isn't advised for us to eat the seafood. There is so much of it that it makes ordering or eating from the buffet difficult. We passed on ordering the special which was Bullfrog (thankfully no one close to me ordered it either!!!) and we had pasta, ordered spring rolls and also beef stirfry with veggies and rice. Unfortunately the spring rolls looked to have whole silver fish inside and the beef was hardly cooked and pooling blood which just wasn't for us! So we shared the pasta!

After supper we came back to our room and Hannah had her first successful bath!!!!! She wasn't thrilled at the first moment but quickly grew to enjoy it. A minute or so into her bath she peed and peed and peed! So, we then took her and her toys back out and began the process again (rinsing and filling the tub!). She had a lovely bath and while I got her all lotioned up (she is quite blotchy on her back so I put some special cream there and her diaper rash is clearing up quickly) Kevin went in search of Nestle formula. He had success and so did we! Hannah drank each drop of her bottle. The formula doesn't have the icky smell of formulas at home, it smells of vanilla. Yummy!!!!!

Into bed Hannah went and I rubbed her chest again for a minute or so and she was out like a light! Only waking up this morning close to 7 am. What a darling.... How blessed we have been.

We must run! Much love xoxoxoo ( I will post again hopefully tonight when Hannah has gone to bed..... thanks for the comments! xox)
