So after 8 months of waiting I finally have my little naked baby home!

We picked him up last night. Such a stressful day...he was supposed to get in at 6:30, but his connecting flight kept getting delayed and delayed...until it was a 3 hour delay! So we ended up picking him up around 9:30 :/ I was so worried, but when I picked him up from baggage claim he was just fine! Got him out of his crate and he just rubbed all up on me and his whole body was vibrating with purrs :) I'm sure he had a rough day but he certainly didn't show it.

So we got home and he suddenly had so much energy, we played and played until about 1am. I brought him into the guest bedroom with me...wasn't sure if he'd sleep with me or stay on the bed but much to my surprise he burrowed under the covers with me and stayed there all night <3

Got up at 7:30 (so glad I took work off), he ate a ton, and we played almost non stop until about 10:30, lol! Then he got sleepy and curled up on my chest. While he did that I trimmed his nails.

He is such a lovebug...loooves being pet and nearly falls over into your hand when you start petting him along with super loud purrs. He's already given me a few head bumps too :)

I'm so glad the long wait is finally over! I'm in love with my little Mulder!

And of course, I have pics for you guys!

Thanks everyone! I wiped him down last night but upon inspection this morning he was still pretty grungy, probably from flying. So he got a bath, which he was not a fan of but besides meowing and trying to climb out of the sink he did fine (no biting/scratching). Then while he was "recovering" from that ordeal on the couch basking in the sun I cleaned all of his nails, eyes, and ears. Whew! Now he's nice and clean for the vet tomorrow.

Couple different places! The white and black striped one is from Sphynx Swag, the skull and xbones is from Simply Sphynx. Just trying to get him used to wearing them right now, he does pretty well!

Awwww he looks/sounds so lovely! It looks like he has settled really quickly! He is cute
Well we still have my hubby's Maine coon kitten and our dog to introduce, haha.

I think yesterday has caught up with him though, he's been sleeping pretty well since about 1, only woke up to eat his late lunch!
