Gotcha Girl!!!

 

Well, this is the day we have all waited and prayed for so long! Can I tell you that it went nothing like in my dreams? It was very professional and not really emotional. We were all in this big room with three or four families being united with their children. Wei-Wei arrived and was fine, but stayed close to her nanny. The children tried not to pounce on her, but were very excited. She wanted nothing to do with me, and was very warm towards Nickie, which was fine. I prayed a lot about her relationship with her father and hope she would bond with him quickly, and she did!

We went to a Walmart-type store and bought formula and diapers. Children here usually drink formula until age 3, so this was expected. She is not 21 pounds like they said---she weighs a lot more and we are going to have to buy bigger clothes! Her shoes were little boy type, so we tried to buy her some tonight, but we couldn't fine any. She is very tiny around, but tall, so the 12 -18 month clothes are too short. We fed her noodles tonight and she likes Cheerios. She is getting along well with her brother and sisters. They really want her to love them more, but that will take time. On the way home from the Civil Affairs office she fell asleep in her daddy's arms. He placed her in the crib and she slept a little while. She woke up and cried and I grabbed her and she hasn't let me go now! I guess it just took some type of mothering for her to let me in her heart. We bathed her and washed her hair and I gave her a bottle. I got many sweet smiles from her tonight---she has the same sweet smile as her photos! She is asleep in our bed now and I am very tired, I know you really just want to see her, so........here is Aimee Love-Wei Fox (formerly known as Wei-Wei)
