We're in love...

Here is a link to a video!!!! Zach is on the left sitting with a nanny. Check out his reaction to the nannies and other babies. YUMMY!http://s189.photobucket.com/albums/z122/planhcmc/?action=view&current=14345641.flv

We also got these wonderful pictures...

We will hopefully be holding Zachary in three weeks from today. Amazing!

Practice Makes Perfect

Think we're ready? We now know what it will be like carrying a 13 pound baby around in the Bjorn (thanks to Sophie, Kevin & Liisa). Sophie is such a good sport--always willing to help!

Zach Update

We received new pictures of Zach today. Our agency's representative went to the orphanage with other families to pick up their babies and she was able to get pictures of him. She also said that she held him for a while. Here are some things she said about him...

"Okay as for the baby... he is darling and very nicely filled out. I held Chien for about five minutes as we were waiting as the other families were getting to know their new babies. He is a lovely baby and he seemed nice and round and very healthy to me. He makes excellent eye contact and was 'talking' to me. Chien appeared to me to be a very lovely healthy baby boy who is normal in every way and who seems quite social and appealing. His skin is beautiful not just in that it is in good condition but rather that he is a lovely color. I think he is very special and am happy that you will have your travel date in the not so distant future, nothing can be much more difficult than having a child across the world. He appears to be a great little person to me and I am sure you will think so quite soon yourself. "

I love every word of what she had to say about our little boy!

Travel Arrangements

Chad finalized our travel arrangements today. We leave on Thursday, August 16th and arrive in Hanoi on Saturday, August 18th. We'll most likely have Saturday and Sunday to rest, shop, exlpore and sleep. Hopefully we'll be holding Zachary on Monday, August 2oth. That's Chad's Birthday. Cool.

There are a few families traveling before us-to the same orphanage. We hope to get some pics from them. I'll post them if we do.

Thanks for coming along with us on our amazing journey to our baby boy. Zachary was born in Vietnam on February 13, 2007. We were given our travel dates today. We are to be in Vietnam on August 18, 2007. Zachary will be 6 months old when we pick him up. We can not wait to meet him. We will continue to post as any more information becomes available. We also plan on posting while in Vietnam.
