Sooo happy to have our little girl sleeping here next to us!
Today went amazingly well. Ainsley walked in to meet us at the Civil Affairs office. We were able to hold her for the next hour while we talked to her caregivers and did paperwork. Initially, she was quite shy and understandably overwhelmed with all of us... but consolable. Later back in our hotel room, we saw all smiles with a bath. And then more tears(silent tears) that break our hearts. It's so hard to see Ainsley's sadness, although we know this is a healthy thing in the long run...that she was attached to her caring nanny. She won't drink a bottle from us yet, and apparently hasn't eaten any solid foods at all. She is a tiny little peanut. Praying that tomorrow she will take a bottle. But for tonight, we have so, so much we are praising God for! Having all 4 of our big kids here has been a huge help, we are amazed at their hearts!!
Congratulations on the new addition to your beautiful family! We are so happy for you guys! So thankful to hear that everything went smoothly. Praying that Ainsley will take a bottle for you soon, and that her sadness will quickly turn to joy! She has a great family who loves her very much and we know she will feel a sense of belonging real soon! She is such a precious little girl, can't wait to meet her!
