What's That I Hear? You Want Pictures?!

Okay, okay! I'm sorry!!! I haven't gotten much "me" time just yet! We got back from NJ around 11 pm on Friday and the past two days have been a little crazy! But both kids are tucked in their beds right now and I have a few minutes to try to catch you all up! Some issues with photo uploading... but we're on board now it seems!! Hurray!

Wednesday was so wild! Our drive to NJ was great and the airport was just like any other day!! We never expected that to happen! We had dinner at the airport and waited for Bill, Val & Liam and then sat with them so they could eat... and then we all paced, more or less. The plane was a few minutes early... God is SO good, so many prayers answered!! It was SO hard to wait as the minutes counted down though, and then I felt nauseous! THEN a young woman strolled past us with a baby who looked far too young and tiny to be Carrie. We all gave the two of them a good stare and decided that the woman was too caucasian and the baby too little. Then, as they were about to get on an elevator I thought, "What could be the harm in checking?" So I called out our escort's name and low and behold, she began to turn in our direction!! We were all completely agasp!! THAT baby was MINE!!! She was very warm and not looking like she was feeling well at all. I scooped her up out of her stroller in total disbelief... THIS little thing was my Carrie!! We all carted her off to the ladies' room (well, the women anyway) for a clothes change and some cooling off! She seemed to feel less hot and I couldn't believe how relaxed she was.

Carrie is a really chill kind of baby. She loves to cuddle and she is really silly and playful. With new people she is more reserved and will just stare them down for a couple of minutes... not blinking once the whole time! She babbles a lot when she wants to and she loves to share things with people and play peek-a-boo. Tonight she was banging her legs and mine like drums and singing... maybe some kind of game she played in GT?? No idea, but very cute, nonetheless!

She's been to the mall already and yes...I got her ears pierced! Dan thought I was really nuts and that's okay with me. I've waited a lifetime for a baby girl and I wanted her ears pierced!!! He does like it now, it makes her look so much more girly :) C's been having some digestion issues, we'll leave it at that... today was pretty gross. Hoping for better day tomorrow. The only hard part of adopting an older baby is not really knowing what kind of foods they can handle or like and how different it is from what they're used to. She doesn't seem to like too much of what we've tried, other than Muesli. That went over pretty well! Okay... I have to upload some more pictures for you now! She is REALLY HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
