I am now the mother of three! I have kept the family tradition of 2 girls and 1 boy-which goes back to at least my great grandmother, grandmother, mother and sister! Not sure before my great grandmother though.
Gotcha day was better than anticipated. Adam was in the room, Schwen went into the room, saw him, gave him a hug and said "Baba". She holds his hand when out and gives him a lot of smiles. The guide says she has a good vocabulary and speaks mandarin with a nanjing dialect. Communication is difficult but she is mimicking him. She is not shy and has her opinion on the clothes and toys. She told the guide she wanted to see her things and was very definite on what she liked and did not like and then folded everything up and put it away. They went to the store and she wanted apples and pears to eat. His biggest concern is keeping her busy while in Nanjing. A good first day and she went to bed with no problem.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Your little girl is now a Radloff. Such a sweet story of how she walked up to Adam, called him "baba" and gave him a big hug! It must have melted dad's heart!
I'm enjoying the blog and look forward to following the remainder of the journey.
Wow, to the repeated generation of 2 girls and 1 boy.

OH Jackie and family. I am so happy for you! I can not wait until you get to hear MaMa! What a sweet little blessing!
Jackie,
I remember talking to you about your daughter's glasses months and months ago. I saw your post on the nanjing group that your husband was in China right now and have been reading your blog the past few days. Congratulation!!! She's beautiful.
