So a quick update on Jada. We went into the hospital today with a Chinese speaking branch member, to check upon Jada. Everything is well, her temperature is stable, her breathing is stable, she has peed and pooped, and she is eating. The doctors are a little concerned that she is not eating enough, but that is about the only concern (they have her on an IV right now to help). So tomorrow morning we are actually planning to take her home. Many of the sisters in the branch have recommended this to us, and it seems as if it is the right thing to do. Chelsey feels good about this, especially on hearing that Jada is healthy. We had to sign a weaver saying that we are taking her out on our own will, and that we understand the risks. We think that because she is healthy, and doing well, we feel that this way we can be part of her life, make her more comfortable, and such. Breast milk is important to babies, as well as having a more comfortable environment with her parents, and home has less germs then hospitals. We are going to take her as an outpatient to another hospital on Tuesday to do a general check up on her, and make sure she continues to do well. There has even been some speculation among those are that helping that she may actually have been full or very close to full term (closer then we thought) considering that she seems to have healthy lungs and also has some body fat according to Chelsey.
Right now, we are staying with the branch president. They are taking good care of us, and Sister Johnsen is going to help Chelsey learn about being a new mom. We are EXTREMLY blessed to have such support from so many people. We will be here for a couple of days getting things sorted out.
Chelsey is doing really well, and we are both really tired. There is still a lot of things to do, but it is coming together. Among our todo list for the first of the week is get birth certificate, start passport for Jada, see what we can to do get our visas extended a month, talk to the airlines.... just a few of the things we have to do! Busy, but exciting!
Look for pictures soon!!!
So we finnally started a blog... GO US! Basicaly, we think that life is an adventure, so why not let other people know what we are up to?

I am so happy to hear that things are working out and looking up!
I'm so glad that you're getting your baby tomorrow! You really need to take pictures of her so that we can all see. In fact, I'd like to see her through skype if you were to use your camera. I can't believe I'm an aunt!!! Jada Rose is a beautiful name. Why in the world are you guys staying at the bishop's place if you have your own appartment?
