wow what an amazing scary day!!   here she is coming in ,   we arrived at the civil affairs about 9:45 and 2 kids were already there.  the rest of us waited as they came in mostly one at a time.   she had to ride for 2.5 hours to come to us.  


our first glimpse of her was her pointing at the kids and grinning ear to ear!   she recognized them from the  photo album we sent her in dec.   i have to admit i got a little overwhelmed and scared at the the reality of her needs ,  they appear to be a little more than we realized (we knew that was a possiblity) but on a plus she IS potty trained like they said so that's a relief.   she has a sore on her foot where she isn't walking correctly,  can't wait to get her home and to specialists to try to help her.  pretty sure she needs a walker,  might have to alter one for the farm to have bigger wheels to help her manuver.  

 the kids have been great and are really excited to finally have her with us.

 she's very into her baba already.  enjoyed bossinghim around and making him carry her.

 

we tried going to the kiddie pool but she's not ready,  she loved her bath though,  so go figure.    she was very wound up at the delivery but has settled down thru the day.   she LOVES food  :-)  it was crazy to see all the crying babies with their new parents.   all so beautiful.     she never cried,  and has been super resilent so far.  she's a little bossy but gives in quick if we are firm.  paul has already roughhoused with her and though a little nervous she loved it and had great giggles.       

today we only signed temporary papers for 24hours which basically lets us change our minds if we want.  interesting,   i can't imagine turning back.   tommorrow we go finalize it and of course go to walmart.   oh and by her measurements she's eisa's size,   reality,  same height but way thicker :-)   hoping the girls clothes i brought will fit.
