Still Waiting for Travel Approval

OK! I'm getting a little antsy waiting for Travel Approval. Sent off for our Visa's and we are talking about what to do during our downtime before we receive Naomi Tao Xuan. Actually talked with our travel agent and he was so funny. Saying we need to do all our fun stuff before we get baby. I told him with 2 other little ones at home having one was going to be a vacation!!!! He just laughed. I am actually looking forward to just being with my hubby for a couple of days by ourselves. Grant is so good on these trips to fetch our girls. It is so wonderful to work together to make something so wonderful come about. It is such a special time for us as a couple to receive our daughters into our life. We are almost there!!!!

IF I PACK WILL IT COME? Travel Approval?

Well, I decided to pack a few days ago.....BUT, now I am wondering if I even have the right clothes for late Sept. early Oct. In fact we first started this journey July 4, 2007, matched with Xi, Tao Yan (Malia) in Sept07 , thought we might even travel in March 08. So much for MY plans. We had such a wake-up call when our precious Malia passed away in the orphanage. (You can read about it in my other blog www.journeytomalia.blogspot.com) Matched again in May with Xi, Tao Xuan. So now we wait for Travel Approval. SO many thoughts are going through my head. Am I ready? Are my girls ready for another sister? What else do I need to do? Will anything fit? How will she grieve?.....And yet excitement too....We're really going back to China! Can't wait to hold this little one in my arms.....ahhhh! It's going to be so good.
