Gotcha Day!
What a wonderful, amazing day it was yesterday to hold our Maia for the first time!! I can't even begin to describe the moment we saw the nannies bringing in the children to us!! Our Maia cried and cried for about 45 minutes, but then she settled in and really warmed up to us much more quickly than we imagined she would. She's so very quiet and shy, and likes to be carried and held most of the time, unless Peanut's playing with her:) She fell asleep in "Babba's" (Daddy's arms) last night at 7:30pm and slept all night through til 6am this morning! When she woke up, she looked over at us and said "Momma"....."Babba".....It was more than we could have asked for! We're off to sign the paperwork to make us her offical parents, so I'll write more later. I know what all of you really want to see right now are pictures of our precious SuSu.......and here she is!!

Congratulations!!! So wonderful! She is just beautiful. I am glad things are going well. I love the picture of both of your children looking at each other and the expression on Maia's face with her arms lifted to your hubby...just precious! Enjoy this time getting to know your little angel. It is such a special time. Lots of love, Charissa
Oh my goodness, Heather, she's beautiful! I am so happy for you (and I was beginning to worry when you hadn't posted yesterday.) I'm sorry you had a bad 45 minutes, but boy, less than an hour isn't too bad in the scheme of things! Kai screamed for 3 to 4 hours. It seemed to last FOREVER! And then, of course, he decided he liked us. Yea! It looks like Maia is already opening her little heart to you. You are so blessed.
Have a wonderful day in China.
So happy for you guys!!! And Maia is so beautiful!!! Keep blogging! It is so exciting following you guys!!!
