We have 15 days until we leave for China!! WOW I still can't believe it!! We have waited sooo long to get this child home with us! It will be a YEAR in October since we first saw her little face on the waiting child list from CHI. It has been so hard to know who she is, what she looks like, how old she is, and not be able to get to her!! I'm sad that we have missed so much of her younger days, but I'm praying that she has been well loved and cared for while waiting for us.
Today I'm doing some more packing, and my king sized bed is covered with luggage and backpacks and toiletries in zip lock bags! It has been hard to limit our suitcases to 44 lbs. each (which is the limit for inside China and we are taking 3 flights while there) At least once we have Sha Mei we will be able to have 4 suitcases instead of three and that will help!! Obviously there will be some shopping done while we are there!!

Is the new pink blog in honor of your little girl??? Love it! Won't be long now!
Hey Powers', I'm not sure about the pink, as I really don't like pink! I don't know why I did that actually! LOL!
Can you say Pepto Pink!!

You are getting very close! We will miss you in Guangzhou by one day, bummer, but lucky you to get out of there with out paying the HIGH hotel rates all week. Have fun packing, doesn't it feel good holding the things you know will soon be in your daughters hands?
Dana,
We are also a CHI family. We travel October 3rd from Atlanta and will get our daughter in Kunming on October 5th. We will meet up with the group in Guangzhou on the 11th. Lucky you, our CA is on the 16th. We have to pay trade fair prices for three days.
