Update from Ethiopia =)

I received another e-mail from Em today that she asked me to post. Sounds like everything is going super well! I can't wait to see pictures of the new family!!!

So we got to take our sweet Mosey home on valentines as we had hoped. He fell asleep on the car ride home in the ergo with mike. When he woke up in our room you could just see the panic on his face. He is so wide-eyed right now. You can tell that all the new stimulus is really tiring for him. But after a brief cry we were able to calm him down with a bottle and i think he is enjoying our company!!!

It definitely feels more real now, especially after he puked up his entire bottle on me a couple of times. It was a very tiring night as well. I think Moses did really well, we are the one's having a hard time adjusting. He woke up exactly on the schedule that his care takers gave us (10pm, 2am, 6am...). He would go back to sleep quite easily after his bottle, it was just mike and I that couldn't fall back asleep. It's pretty noisy here: dogs barking, roosters, cars, birds, etc etc. Reminds me so much of sleeping in the Philippines. Plus the jet lag has us up super early and very hungry and then ready for bed at around 4pm every night.

This morning we took him to his first Ethiopian church service. It was really good, but he slept through the whole thing! It was a protestant church that our driver Solomon goes to. Next Sunday we are going to hopefully go to an Orthodox church service.

When we got back to the guesthouse we were thankfully able to switch rooms with a couple who just went back home. This room is way bigger, has a balcony, huge windows and a bigger bed. I think i would have lost my mind if i had stayed in the other room any longer. It was a tiny box with basically no windows. This room feels much more comfortable.

Hm.... what else do my blogstalkers want to know....
