Abigail, here we come!

We're packed and ready -- which has been no easy feat in itself!! We have everything on the list for the baby and us and still under the 44 lb. weight limit! Anyone who knows how I pack heavy will realize what an accomplishment this is!

I feel a sense of calm now after many weeks of worry and 'what ifs'. I've been running through all the possible scenarios I can think of in my mind and then packing a remedy. Last go-around we were blissfully happy with no idea of the experience we had in store for us. This time being more aware has caused more anxiety. But we decided that we had to turn those concerns over to God. Doug says he'll just be glad when the plane is in the air to China!!

Last time we flew straight into Guangzhou and right back out! We didn't realize how easy of a trip that was back then! This time we'll have much more of an adventure with stops in Beijing, Nanchang and then Guangzhou!

So Abigail is coming home! Everytime I see that precious face I just want to go get her right then -- like Natalie who wanted to put her rocket shoes on! Well, now it's time, no rocket shoes needed!

Abigail, here we come!!
