Our official gotcha day photo inside our agency's meeting room. By this time little Unshie was way beyond antsy. He's not had his nap, and he knew full well something significant was going on.
A pose with GM.
And a pose with our SW who we just love. She is the sweetest, most helpful SW we know. She has a heart for the children and the foster mothers.
And a pose with his doctor - this is the one that does the monthly well baby checks on this kids. Us adoptive mommas live, LIVE for well baby checks and photos. And tomorrow I get to take pics of my friend, Chris's child. I am so very excited and honored to be able to do this. It is very much an answer to prayer. My friend so far has only the pics from referral day which was in Jan. So to be able to do this for her means a lot to both of us.
Temperature check.
Little Unshie was off running around by the time we got this pic... so we decided to just let him be.
Final lovins from our foster mom. Please pray for Mrs J. She is really having a difficult time dealing with her loss. Today 5/23/11, she brought little Unshie more goodies. She asked to see little Unshie one more time and we did let her, bless her heart. Except our SW set it up so little Unshie couldn't really see her so as not to confuse him.
Do I really have to go?
Making his last and final rounds. It was so cute to see... he went into one room to another to another and everywhere he went, everybody came up to him, called him by name and said good bye to him.
With our two foster moms in Seoul. Our first Seoul foster mom sent with us a bunch of oranges since she knew little Unshie liked oranges.
No more mountain of paperwork! Just one form to sign and he is ours to take home!
Mrs. J gave us three, three HUGE bags of goodies ranging from food, clothing, toys, pics, diapers, wipes, bottles with tons of Nuk nipples, and my favorite... bibs! I love the bibs she gave us. She gave us back pretty much everything we sent in our 2 care packages plus what looks like stuff that little Unhie has used and will be able to use in the future. It felt like a baby shower all over again! Now to pack everything in - including the pony we sent and a Pororo airplane that is HUGE. The Pororo airplane is from our foster mom. She also sent with us his hanbok! Yay! Mrs J made sure to tell us he only likes Nuk nipples. It can be any bottle but it has to be Nuk nipples.
We got back to the guest house and Unshie fell asleep almost immediately. He sleeps with a pillow that Mrs J made sure to send with us.
Love this little guy of mine! It was just absolutely indescribable listening to him breathe while he was sleeping.
We found out even on his first nap with us that he is very, very wiggly even asleep. The first night especially... he was ALL OVER the bed. Neither UD and I got much sleep that first night but Unshie did. The next two nights have been pretty much the same but we've been able to sleep through most of the wiggling. Yesterday morning, we woke up to him screaming bloody murder... he'd lost his bottle and needed one, now, now, now! He is a bottle drinking machine!
He woke up from his first nap with us happy and with a smile on his face. The next morning, he wasn't as happy but all in all he's been doing ok. Please continue to pray with us during this transition stage. I am definitely head over heels in love with this little guy. It'll be hard practicing tough love but I know it has to be done for his own good.
