Gotcha Day

Here's what all of you have been waiting for.......introducing Jensen Morgan XiaoMing Korber!!!!! He is the sweetest little boy in the world. When the adoption officers from the DongGuan orphanage brought him to us today he was dressed in a cute pair of pajamas. Everything happened in such a rush there, actually. He came to us and didn't cry. He was actually pretty much emotionless. He didn't know what the heck was going on. I was on my best behavior. I didn't bawl. I promised myself that I wouldn't scare him by sobbing. We noticed that he has a heat rash and some mosquito bites. We were told the mosquitos are bad right now in DongGuan. Thankfully we took him to a clinic and the doctor checked him out. He said we could use the ointment we brought from home and that would be fine for him. We just spent the entire rest of the day in our hotel room because the weather has been utterly miserable all day long. We have plenty of food here for all of us to eat so we decided it was best to vegetate inside. It took Jensen a while to warm up to us, but I think he's starting to get used to us little by little. We brought some different toys from home for him and he is obsessed with a little red car. He keeps holding onto it for dear life. We gave him a bath tonight, too. I was worried how he would react to the water, but he loved it!! We got to hear his first laughs and see his first smiles as he splashed away in the tub. He sure splashed Mommy a lot! His laugh was so sweet. He's only had one "meltdown" so far. When I went to take a much needed potty break, the tears poured. He wanted his Mommy. Yes, he is a Mommy's boy....ok...I know it's only one day....but he's stolen my heart!!!!!!!!!!!
