Ok, so shower curtain that sticks to the butt, a toilet that won't flush, gosh, it's deja vu of our last visit to Mongolia, but wait....the shower curtain is an adustable rod that can be moved, and the toilet, well, just wait 5 minutes and it WILL flush!
Yes, we are in Mongolia, and totally thrilled to be here!
To recap....
We were to be at the Appleton airport at 7:30AM Saturday morning. At 6:45 I thought to check our flight, and was HORRIFIED to discover that our flight out of Appleton was CANCELED, not just delayed, but CANCELED! UGH! After some frantic phone calls, we got booked on a flight out of GreenBay only 10 minutes after our original flight was to leave. Crisis averted. It was smooth sailing, er, flying from there. We got into UB exactly when we expected to.
Our interview with 2nd Committee was scheduled for 3PM on Monday. May, our guide, left a message for us (that we got at 2:10), to meet outside the hotel at 2PM to leave for the interview. At 2:35PM, May called the front desk to tell us that our interview had been canceled, but it would be held the following morning (Tuesday). So this morning we got up early, only to receive a phone call from May at 10AM to tell us that our interview was canceled for the second time, and would take place on Wednesday morning. I was a little upset until she told us that we had been given permission by the head of 2nd committee to visit our daughter. May said she would be at our hotel in one hour to pick us up to takes us to Libby. WHAT!?! We totally weren't expecting to see her until Thursday at the earliest, so we were thrilled!
So how do you describe the moment you meet your daughter for the first time? Well, you really can't, it is totally amazing. Libby is beautiful in so many ways, such perfect features, and she is a snuggler! Yay! It took Gus a long time to be a snuggler, but Libby just reaches out to be held and snuggles right into your shoulder her with her head laying against us. But I do need to say that she is DEFINATELY going to be Daddy's Little Girl. She is already in love with him, and him with her. He even had her chasing him around the room. Watch out Gus! You have a new "chase" partner! Libby also comes readily to me, but she obviously has eyes for her Daddy. She did fall asleep in my arms though, exactly the same way Gus did the first day we met him. Unfortunately we haven't gotten a real smile out of her yet, but we were close several times!
We have our 2nd Committee meeting tomorrow at 11AM (hopefully), and then we will go back to the orphanage tomorrow. We are hoping that we will be officially able to take custody of Libby either Monday or Tuesday.
I'll try to post again soon!
