We finally got the video of gotcha to upload. We look a little worse for wear... it was blazing hot, we were nervous, exhausted and were verging on carsick minutes earlier!
Tessa is doing great this morning. We woke up to smiles and giggles! The schedule from her foster mother says she plays on her own for 1 1/2 to 2 hours each morning after her bottle. I found that hard to believe but she's been entertaining herself for about 45 minutes. YAY! What more could a new mom ask for?
Gotta run! Our AIT (embassy) appointment is in an hour and a half. Should only take an hour or so. This afternoon we're set for more sight seeing and lots of picture taking! We'll try to post again this evening.
