Adoniyas!

Well, today we met our little boy! We moved it up by a day because it was just time. It was amazing and emotional. We captured it all on video, so we can share. He's the most beautiful boy you've ever seen. He's been a super joy to have around so far. We're about 6 hours into our introduction. He gurgles a lot (he's a bit congested) and makes some vocals once in a while, but he's been a cool cat so far. Jana's into the first poopy diaper as I write! Adoniyas has some issue with his ear, an infection that has gotten more serious than average. He's on some meds, and it looks like it can wait for further attention at home. They used the word "surgery" which is not the word we want to hear, esp. not here. He's had swelling that is down now, but apparently one of the effects is causing the muscles on the right side of his face to be non-functional. They tell us that its no big deal, but tomorrow we will meet the ENT Dr, and maybe share with the pedi back home to get a 2nd opinon. Anyway, he seems really happy, he's not in pain, and we're having fun playing and napping with him! OK, I'll sign off. There is so much more to share, we'll have to add more later.
There are some new photos up on the picasa page! Note these photos have been stretched a little when Paul had to resize them for transmission over dial-up. http://picasaweb.google.com/paulocon/EthioTrip?authkey=Gv1sRgCNTbs7-Uh4DnygE#
