We have babies!!!










We had quite the day yesterday. We arrived on time but ended up hanging out at the airport because the hotel shuttle was very late. Because of all the construction it was also very very dusty. The worst part though was everyone kept staring and pointing at Katie. Not in a mean way, but in a 'wow look at her' way that still made us both very uncomfortable. She ended up with her sweatshirt over her head and that helped. Then, when the shuttle showed up, it picked up another couple and took off with us madly chasing it. They had to call it to come back for us.






We got to the hotel (Love the Grand Tikal!) and got settled then went downstairs at 2pm to wait for PBJ. And we waited and waited waited. No baby. We ended up after a couple of hours going upstairs and orderig sandwiches and we began calling the agency and anyone else we could think of. We got ahold of them and the coordinator forgot we were coming. They hustled around and we finally got her at 7pm last night. She has a cold, lots of congestion and cried solid for over two hours. Katie finally got her to sleep, but even in her sleep she kept taking those giant ragged sob breaths. She slept for 30 min then woke up and began to cry again. We figured out that she loved the stroller so we pushed her around in it for about 3 hours, then back into the bouncy chair. She finally went to sleep about midnight and slept for 7 hours. Today she is still congested but much happier and eating well.






We ate the wonderful bufet for breakfast and then headed to the loby to wait for Ahren. He was righton time and when he saw me he held out his arms to me. I almost cried with happiness. He has been laughig and smiling ever since. He has just started walking and has the typical Frankenstein walk. He is really enjoying all the toys and food we have. he eats anything and everything. I don't know how much he weighs but I am guessing upwards of 30 pounds and it's all solid. What a little tank.












Enjoy the photos of our wonderful babies!
