The wait is officially starting to get to both of us...

My dh is an absolute rock. One of the most calm, collected, happy people I have ever known. Throughout this whole adoption journey, I've been the one who has had highs & lows and "freak out" moments. He has not. This is pretty much par for the course. (One reason I love him so!!)

But now, we're both just sort of sitting around staring at each other. Laney's bag is packed. Ours is mostly packed. (Just need to add clothes). Our passports & visas are here. Our cash for the trip is ready (we ordered & picked up new bills at the bank). We know what airline we'll be using and we have the website bookmarked. We just need that TA call from our agency so we can pick up the phone and order the tickets! AACK!

It's getting harder for me to think about my sweet baby and where she is right now. I know she doesn't know we're coming or that we even exist. I realize she has nothing to compare her life to, so for her, the orphanage is "normal."

I just pray that angels whisper to her in the night and that God prepares her young heart for her new mamma & baba (the word for daddy, in China). That she finds herself growing expectant and peaceful as the day approaches, and that when we are finally united she will be comforted as she leaves the only "home" she has ever known.

Troy & I are getting nervous & excited and just, oh so READY to be on our way! We want our four munchkins all together...the three "L" sisters and the one cool bro. :)
