We had our first night with Hadi. Kind of feel like we are first parents again!! Crazy! She actually did really well...going to bed at 9 or 10pm and waking up at 6:30 this morning. Not too bad for usually being fed throughout the night. In the care center all the babies go to sleep with bottles in their mouths. I know...my American mommy instincts are kicking in saying NOOOO! But, really this isn't a big deal in the scheme of things. This is what she knows, this is her comfort. She has taken a few naps for us too. We are grateful as we are still pretty tired. Thank goodness we are in the land of coffee.
She also has a little cold like ALL the other children in the care center. Can't wait to get her to a doctor to get some medicines to help her get rid of all the congestion. Overall, she is doing good. She grips onto me and peers at us with with her big brown eyes when we go anywhere. She has seen more in the last day than she has ever seen.
Today we have Embassy at 1:00pm. Should be a quick process and pretty uneventful. Please also keep our cousin's family in your prayers as their birth mother interview is today. The Embassy has the power at that point to pass them. Pray it is TODAY!
We thank you again for your prayers. I find myself longing to be home in my space with my precious little boys and their new sister. It just isn't the same here. We have felt your prayers though more than ever...they are carrying us through.
Love you all and Happy Birthday sweet Jon Jon...
