Today we decided to take it easy and stay at the hotel. Maeve is feeling much better, but she needed a day with less excitement and more nap time! Maeve was having a lot of trouble keeping her formula in, so we switched her to soy formula and that seems to be helping. Little by little she is doing better.
There is a mall attached to our hotel, so we went for a walk. Other than that, we just played in the room and rested. We all needed a slow day.
Tonight, Maeve finally started grieving. She has been through a lot and it finally all hit her. We worked through it and hopefully each day will get easier for her. We talked to her big brothers, Collin and Brennen, on the phone today and they are ready to give her lots of love when she gets home.
Tomorrow we are going to the highest point in Chongqing to get a great view of the city and to learn more about the 3 Gorges Dam. We should have some great pictures to post tomorrow. If you would like to see some pictures of Maeve playing, you can click on the "More China Pictures" link and then click on the "China Day 6" folder.

She is adorable. I know the grieving is hard on all of you but as you know it is a must for her to begin to truly bond and attach to you. Just to encourage you to hold her through it and take care of yourselves too! Congrats on your new addition to your family. Just a lurker reliving the journey.
