Progress!!

Definite progress was made in the early hours of this morning - 4am, to be exact. I had decided at some point last night to bring Maya into my bed. We will be co-sleeping at home, so I thought we might just give it a try here. She fussed sometime around midnight or so...so I plopped her next to me in this enormous (but hard as a ROCK!) bed of mine and off we went to slumberland. Well...around 4am...my darling girl woke up (I guess I was already awake) and gave me the BIGGEST smile ever! She looked straight at me and just smiled! Oh..did my heart melt! We then had about a 20 minute play-fest of "Where's Maya" with her turning away from me and then back to me and threw in some tickling for good measure!

And that was it. We cuddled up together for a few moments..she put herself back to sleep..and I've been awake ever since!

Oh my goodness....nobody could have explained to me how AWESOME this is!

We'll be moving on to the city of Luoyang later today (2ish)....I will try to take more pictures today and will post later tonight after we're settled into our new hotel room.

Thank you all SO much for your comments..and your prayers..and good wishes. It is such a blessing to be able to share this with all of you...and frankly, the blogging has become addicitve and has kept me sane when I'm awake in the middle of the night!

And now, for a different kind of countdown....

We'll be home in just 10 days - China time! YAY!
