Finally in Our Arms!

Daddy and I are already friends The nanny who took care of Danika Not sure about all these toys But I do like the Mickey Mouse stacking blocks
Finally a family
Don't we look like we were meant to be?
With the other families waiting for baby
Just before the big moment
Wow, how do we describe today??? It has been magical, wonderful and awesome. We were told the babies would arrive at 2:30 - we waited, and waited...finally at 3:00 Michelle from our agency called our room and said, "Babies are arriving at 3:15. We grabbed all our stuff to bring with us, camera, movie camera, toy, cheerios, book for nannies to sign. We went down to the conference room with the other 14 families in our group and waited some more, finally we heard the rustle in the hallway and the nannies came in with the babies! We recognized Danika right away. They called out the parents names one by one and handed over the babies. Many of the babies cried and cried, but Danika looked around with a very curious look and just soaked it all in. We've had her for two hours now and she is already a joy. She is not going to go to sleep until she has checked out everything in the room...multiple times. She doesn't like you to sit with her, she wants you up and walking with her. She didn't want a bottle but loves Disney animal crackers. She doesn't want to be on the floor to play, she wants to be held and loved. She is very strong and very curious and we love her!

Wow - I have chills! Congratulations!! Can you believ it? And yes, you do truly look like you were meant to be! And she sounds so much like Charlotte - no crying when they handed her to me, she would not sleep all day, she wanted to be held and was very curious about everything! I cannot wait to hear more about Danika's personality as you get to know her more. Her middle name sure seems to fit her.
