Gotcha Day postponed

Hey all

A slight change in plans... Andy is flattened with the same sickness I had two days ago. It seems to be the regular flu (I'll spare the gory details), and we are afraid of sharing it with HyunSoo. Today was to be THE DAY that we pick him up, but given our state of health, we called Holt and asked to postpone a day. It was a long night, but Andy seems to be slowly pulling out of it, so hopefully we'll be set for tomorrow. It is disappointing to postpone our Gotcha Day, but when you look at the whole scope of things (a two-year adoption process for starters), this is just a minor blip on the screen. We can handle one more day of waiting! He's worth waiting for :)

So...in this land of fabulous food (translated roughly as ginger beef, BBQ pork, kimchi, noodle soup, dumplings, potstickers, seafood omelettes, chicken stew, squid, sushi and rice), Andy and I are now unable to eat much! My Dad theorizes that perhaps it's morning sickness! On a brighter note, since we are travelling with my parents, we have upgraded from our traditional backpacker-style accommodations to a few nicer places to rest our heads. Hate to admit it, but we are kind of enjoying this cushy (relative to what we are used to) style of travel!

Would love to post a few photos of us with Cedar, but aren't sure about downloading images from the camera. I've already fried one piece of electronics, so we are afraid to attempt much else, particularly with something as precious as photos of our first moments together. We'll wait until we're home this weekend to share photos of our little one. Did I mention he is as cute as ever? Even Andy is convinced we got the cutest one. :)

Hey - thanks everyone for your replies to our posts. It is such a joy to read them - a true bright spot in an already wonderful trip. Thanks for sharing in this journey with us.

If Andy is well enough, this afternoon we will move back to the flat we have rented. I don't know what Internet access (PC bang) is like in that part of town, but will give a virtual yaaahhhOOOOOO if we can once we have Cedar with us. Our new Gotcha time is 10:00am tomorrow.

Love to all
Rebecca & Andy
