We have Nikki!

Monday Jan. 17, 2011

We have Nikki! We picked her up at the govt office at 9:30.  We signed some papers, they took an official picture and we are back at the hotel. She didn't cry when they handed her to us. She sniffed a few times like she was going to cry, had a few tears but didn't cry. She drank a bottle a fell asleep.  We have to go to our guides room and sign some papers, But I'll try and email more later. 
Vicki, as of today they said we couldn't visit the orphanage because Nikki & Lilly's group have the chicken pox, Nikki has a few spots and a runny nose.    Funny thing-Matthew's group had the chicken pox when we got custody of him too. I'm going to ask the director tomorrow, maybe he'll let us in.
Matthew has been very helpful, bringing us things, taking off her shoes, helping make her a bottle.
She weighs 17.7 pounds on our scale with all her clothes)several layers, shoes and diaper.  She is very observant like Matthew was and likes to grab things.  She likes the books we brought for her too. She has a bad cold? Nurse Laura & mom, should I start her on the antibiotics that we got from our drs office for this, her snot is very yellowish green and she rattles when she breaths. 
I'm told I can't blog unless someone goes into our account and somehow switches the set up so we can email to it.  We can't access anything with facebook, blogger, I even tried to get some Math flashcards for Matthew to play online and I can't.
Alex, I think Nikki will like you to hold her and feed her a bottle.
I don't think she can walk yet, but she doesn't want us to put her down. 
Love, Cara
