Day 5 - Good bye Nanchang

It makes me sad to say good-bye to the province where Jaida was born and where we first held our beautiful girl.  Before leaving Canada I thought this would be the one and only time in China.  We love it here so much we know we will be back when Jaida is older and will appreciate where she is from.  Jason really enjoyed it here.  He isn't one to stay in the hotel so he had many hours going for walks and exploring.  I miss my boys very much but I am happy to have these quiet moments with Jaida.  We didn't do a lot here in Nanchang so the boys would have gone crazy being the room every afternoon.  Beijing will be another story with our days filled with lots of tourist attractions.

This morning we packed up and received her passport.  This afternoon we went for a walk and visited the great bakery that Jason bought our cake at.  Mary, our guide, came in got us one last time; she was so great and helpful.  It was nice to be taken so well care of.  I have never been on a trip where everything is taken care of-no stress. I could get use to this type of travel (if only I was rich and could pay for someone to plan and take care of everything-I just thought Jason has one and he isn't rich, it's called a wife-haha).

I am really glad I got to travel with the group we did.  It was great company to spend time with them and we still had quiet time with our babies in the afternoon.  I will miss it not just being the eight of us but also look forward to meeting all the other families and their new babies.

Jaida is very active and was a challenge on the plane.  It was just a little tease of what our flight home will be like-Jason says someone will be taking gravol, either him or Jaida and I get to pick, I think I want it to be me :)

Jaida is liking me and does pretty well with Jason, although she seems to prefers me. Even though she does watch me all the time and cries if I leave the room,  she would happily go with anyone else too (she isn't too picky).  Going through security, she was quickly snatched up without any warning by the security guard-she did not fuss at all while other babies seemed traumatized.  A few other times strangers and guides will try and hold her and she happily reaches for them; as I pull her away and say no she is too tired.  I also try feeding her so we can look into each other eyes (helps with attachment) but she usually squirms until she sits up looking at everyone else.  I think she is too busy and doesn't want to miss anything to be a snugglier.
