3 days until travel 9 days until Eliza

I leave in three days. At this point it feels like I didn't ever have to wait at all and someone is throwing me on a plane headed for China. Where did the last week go? Where did the last year go? I'm about as packed as I was a week ago. I have to do laundry and add my clothing to the suitcase and then I think I'm ready. This all feels unbelievable. I have been wishing for this day for so long that wishing became a permanent part of my thought process. It's weird to not have to wish for this anymore. It's almost here! I'm ready, or as ready as I'll ever be. I keep trying to imagine what it will by like when they hand me the baby...MY BABY! I dream about it, but I cannot wrap my mind around it still. I'm excited beyond belief. I think I am paralyzed with excitement and wonderment for what the next couple of weeks hold. Eliza has no idea what's headed her way! Our lives are both about to change forever. I'm ready for forever to begin. Nine more days until I hold my baby. Nine more days baby!!!!

I know exactly what you're feeling, Tiffany. I was there about two weeks ago. Hold on for the most exciting ride of your life.

Hi, Well how fun to find you (actually you found me) but anyway, looks like in 2 days now you are off for your sweet baby girl. I will be watching and celebrating with you.

3 days! You are going to be a wonderful Mommy, Tiffany! I just realized the other day that as a speech therapist I give a language test which has the names Eliza & Elena in it. Everytime I read it I think of our little ones. =) Go and get Eliza and bring her home! =)

Wow Tiffany - tomorrow is your day to leave!!! I finally heard on my TA today, and hope to leave sometime the week of the 20th. Best of luck as you make this final step to getting sweet Eliza. You're right, both of your lives are about to change in ways that we can't even begin to imagine - but what an adventure it will be!! Annette
