Gotcha!!

Well everyone, after five years of waiting, the day is finally here!  We finally met our daughter, and she's even more perfect and beautiful than we could imagine from our referral pictures!  Every family in our group was blessed to meet their perfect, beautiful little miracles today - and there wasn't a dry eye in the house.  Our little girl has a lot of thick hair that even curls a bit at the nape of her neck.  She's tall for her age, and has very long, delicate fingers.  She has a hilarious habit of puckering her lips at you when she doesn't want to eat what your'e offering, and just like her big brother, she strokes her cheek with her 'soothie' (a soft blanket for brother, a soft shirt for her) to comfort herself.  Also like her brother, she was a bit stubborn in her first few hours with us - lots of tears and struggling against feeding, changing, etc., but by dinner time she was settled down enough to eat well and even smile and babble at us a little.  What a day!  Thank you to all our friends and family who've been praying for us and supporting us in myriad ways through this long process.  Thanks for sticking it out with us - we can't wait for you all to meet her!

Did I mention how perfect and beautiful she is? Sorry the picture is so small, we'll have more coming soon! :)
