China Day 4 - We have Lia!

We have Lia! She did great when they handed her to us and didn't cry at atll. She even gave us a smile and giggle on the bus ride back to the hotel! She seems so small to us and is as beautiful as could be. She did have a little meltdown just a little bit ago but it didn't last long - and we know that is normal. We are also told that she gets fussy when sleepy so maybe there's a little of that going on as well. We are hoping things continue to go smoothly.  Thanks foe all of your continued prayers.
She seems to have a little congestion and a bit of a heat rash but other than that she seems healthy. 
 
Having Lia in our arms is a dream come true - and makes us miss Jackson even more. We are ready to get home and have our little family all together.
