If this doesn't make your heart melt ...

... then I sure don't know WHAT will!!!



I have tons more images to go through but WE ARE BEAT! Gotcha Day went surprisingly smoothly and calmly ... and as you can see, we have one happy baby on our hands. I wanted to post just a couple so you can see how joyful this girl is! I'm not sure if these shots are completely in focus - I can't really tell for sure on a netbook because she was moving and I was working with f/1.8 to soak in the light. LOL.

She had a bit of a meltdown earlier tonight, but we're convinced that's because she was starving. Poor baby girl. She really wasn't eating for us and still isn't doing great, but it's better. Fortunately she is one chunky monkey, so we're trying to keep liquids in her for now. We'll work a little more tomorrow in the the food department, but DH and I are kind of learning as we go. It's not that easy!! LOL.

We have had a VERY long day filled with crazy van drives, paperwork signing and lots of people talking in Chinese about us without us having any idea about what they were saying. LOL. It was exhausting AND it was so stinkin' hot. If we can figure out how to get Sunshine to sleep, we are about to pass out ourselves. Wish us luck - we have no idea how she'll do. LOL. Overall, we couldn't be more pleased with Sunshine's transition ... we just can't get over how little she has cried for us! It's amazing ... a God-thing for sure.

I'm hoping for some more down time tomorrow so I can work on the rest of the images from yesterday! THANK YOU to everyone who has sent us emails, written comments on the blog and on FB and prayed for us!! All of the good vibes clearly worked ... we think we have a pretty special little lady entering into our family :-)
