It's "Gotcha" Day

Tomorrow afternoon at 3 we'll bus over to the Municipal Building to welcome Davyn into our family. Everyone in our group of eight families is excited and a little uncertain about what this first day will bring. On Sunday night we got an update on Davyn's growth. She's 26.3 inches long and weights 16.5 pounds. Davi, who just turned 1, has been in foster care since December 2006. She and the other infants will be driven from Yulin accompanied by their caretakers and the director of the orphanage (social welfare institute). Yulin is about three hours away. We will be able to ask her caretakers questions although her foster mother will not be present. Then it's back to the hotel for a bottle, fresh clothes, and a lot of hugs. (Check in Tuesday morning ET for video and pictures of the big event!) Monday began with a shopping-for-baby trip to the Nanning Wal-Mart Superstore. That's certainly not our favorite retail outlet but Davi needed smaller clothes than what we brought, and Mom and Tammy could not resist seeing the Chinese translation of this scary pacesetter of American business.
