Trip To Guangzhou
Yesterday was our flight from Chongqing to Guangzhou. Briana was a perfect angel on the flight - she slept the entire time! I made sure I gave her a bottle just as we began to take off and she was out like a light! That made for a great flight, but unfortunately, she has not been going to sleep easily and not sleeping through the night anymore either. So that made the day very long. We got to Guangzhou at 3:30 and made it to the White Swan Hotel at around 4:30. Just as we got off the bus to check into the White Swan, Shirley (our Chongqing/Guangzhou guide) told us moms to bring our babies across the street for baby visa photos. It literally took five minutes to get us all done. Then Doug and I headed out to eat for dinner and tried to keep Briana up so she would go to bed at a decent time. We didn't get her to sleep until after 10 and we were so tired. That is why I did not post yesterday. Too pooped. I admit got a little frustrated last night because I was tired and I was having a hard time finding stuff. It is so hard living out of a suitcase. I don't think I have ever been so tired in my life. I am so happy - but I am still tired!

At the White Swan...guess what Briana did!
Taking a walk around the White Swan in the evening. Briana loved the breeze coming off the river. (The White Swan is beautiful and do they ever cater to the adoption community. There are people with adopted babies everywhere! We have a room that overlooks the river - it is beautiful!)

Wow, Sounds like she is awesome ~ sleeping the whole flight! Hope she does that back to ATL (he he)~ can't wait for you to get home! Hurry!
Happy Birthday to Briana!!! I'm glad you all are enjoying her. The sleep will settle in - esp. when you are home and can get into a set naptime/bedtime sched. Be sure to sleep when she sleeps and if you haven't already, start a bedtime routine so she'll know that when x,y, & z happens it is time to go to sleep!! (you can do a similar shorter routine for naps)
HTH -
Love to you all and again - happy first birthday to Briana!

Enjoy Guangzhou, I miss it! Sleep will come eventually, right now you are all running on adrenaline anyway so just try to catch naps when you can. Don't forget to visit Fear Factor Alley while you're there.
Happy 1st Birthday Briana!
It will get better (for all of you) once you're home and you've established a routine.
Lisa, you have the new mommy look -you look great!
Love to you all,
Micha

I love the last picture of the two of you. You both look so happy!
I hope you can get some rest this week. Enjoy your time at the White Swan.
Hope you get some needed rest soon, motherhood is truly a labor of love! (Not that I've lived that yet)...
LOVE that photo with Daddy- she's looking at him, like, "What? You think this smells? Who are you to talk?"
She looks SO happy Lisa!
And Happy Birthday to your little bundle of joy!
