Ella had the ugly cry for about an hour and then just passed out cold around 5:30 p.m.
She slept the entire night… 10 hours. She woke up around 3:30-4 a.m. this morning. So her schedule is already messed up.
She is whimpering every now and again but we’ve learned she likes to be held right now.
Our guide, Shinko, went to the store for us last night and got us the Nestle formula and rice cereal she’s used to so she can have some “normalcy” right now.
She is very curious wondering what’s going on. She keeps looking around with a frown on her face, which is to be expected. She is not taking too kindly to me, however. Not surprisingly, we were told she’s not used to men at the SWI.
Her documents say she is very timid, quiet and shy. We think she is just trying to process everything before she’ll try anything. She likes for Jenn to hold her but does not like sitting by herself at this point.
Jennifer and I signed (and thumbprinted) a lot of paperwork last night “accepting” her into our lives. Today, those documents get notarized, so we will leave around 9 a.m.
That’s all we have planned for the day other than just trying to get her to bond with us.
