Meeting Zeke!

Well today was the day we had been waiting for for about a year.  The day when we got to finally hold the little boy who's face we fell in love with about 6 months ago.  The orphanage director and his nanny were supposed to arrive around 10:40 but it was closer to 12 till they got to our hotel due to traffic. 

He cried when I took him from his nanny which is a good thing but I felt sad for him that the only "mom" he knew just walked out of his life. But we are here to be his new parents.  He cried for a little bit and then settled down.  I held him for awhile and then Bruce did. At first he wasn't so sure of Bruce because he hasn't seen many men before. 

He sounded like he had a cold and they told us he caught a cold last week but he took his medicine and he'll be fine!  We took his temp this afternoon and it was 100.4 so we gave him some Tylenol.  Please pray that he feels better soon and that he does't have an infection.  We are in contact with our CHOP Adopt doctor and we'll monitor him for now. 

He took a great nap this afternoon and he has been drinking his milk from a bottle and he ate some supper too.  He is in bed now for the night and we are headed there too shortly! 

Please pray for his health and wisdom for us to know what to do! 
Here are the pictures you have been waiting for:
