Gotcha Day!

April 20, 2009

What a morning! We walked to the civil affairs office around 10:45 and went up to the 26th floor and walked into the civil affairs office. They weren't there yet. Our guide said she would wait in the hall and tell us when they got there. She ran in and said they are here. He was so precious. He was even more beautiful in person. He was very quiet and cautious at first but he didn't cry when they handed him to me and Tim had him laughing in no time. He is the happiest baby. We came back to the room and Tim turned on the TV while I did paperwork with Emma our guide. He found music and Gideon began to dance. He just loved it. Later our guide found in some of the notes from the nannies that Gideon loves TV. He is just so precious! We have been so very blessed once again. He is very small as we knew. He can move his arms and legs but not very well. He is not able to sit up by himself. He took right to a pacifier. Not sure if he ever had one but he loves it. Probably because he has never been able to put anything in his mouth since his arms don't bend that way. He is right now playing with Tim on the bed. He just laughs and laughs. He took a bottle for us and is just fitting right in. The Lord knew what he was doing once again. Later this afternoon we go back to the civil affairs office and to the notary for more paperwork and to pay more money. Tomorrow is a free day and it is supposed to be sunny and in the upper 70's. We are so in love and so very blessed. Now I'll post pictures!
