Hey y'all! Rebecca recovered from her one-day flu, due to all the nurturing care her husband provided (Andy made me write that :) We are back in Seoul now (grandparents too) -- got up this morning and took the bullet train from Daegu to Seoul at an amazing 300km/hr. Spent the morning at the well-baby check-up. The doctor told us we have a "perfect baby"!
The baby check appointment was quite an experience. The room was about 12'x12', and there were probably at least 10 other foster moms, plus babies, plus another adopting couple, plus a social worker, plus the staff, plus us, plus a VERY hot space heater, just in case the temperature might drop below 120! HyunSoo/Cedar is just the happiest baby -- hope he stays that way on the way home, and after we turn his world on end. It was strange seeing all the other babies, knowing that at one moment they are all here together, and within weeks they will be all over the world. Holt works with Germany, Norway, France, the US and perhaps other countries as well. It is a strange feeling being at the center of "where babies come from".
Rebecca got to feed Cedar, and it was the first time she felt that maybe this one is really ours.
Met with Bob & Michelle this afternoon for some shopping and poking around Seoul. Tomorrow at 3:00 (roughly 10pm your time???) they give us HyunSoo for keeps. (AAaaaaaaa!! :) He is too big for most of the clothes we brought (oops), but we'll be OK with a little creative dressing. With Andy and Rebecca as parents, he might as well get used to being neither fashionable or a trend-setter early on!
We're headed back to the hotel to drink plum wine in preparation for this next adventure....
Love, Andy & Rebecca
