I'm feeling a little overwhelmed right now!

I have been so restless tonight. Maybe it's because Andrew and I will be meeting our daughter so soon. I have been overwhelmed with emotions. We both adore our baby from her pictures, and she is already in our hearts, BUT meeting her will make this so much more real. I can't imagine actually holding her in my arms, giving her a bath, or giving her a bottle. I even get excited at the thought of changing her diapers. What I don't let myself really think about is leaving her. I can't even begin to imagine how difficult that will be. Please pray for me (and Drew) to have strength. I am trying to focus on the joy of having her for a visit at all and not on the terror of having to leave her.

You all should see her suitcase and her room. Ask Cindy.....it's a mess. Clothes, diapers, toys, you name it.....it's all over the place. Even with all the stuff we're taking I'm sure we're missing something. You guys should see all the stuff that Cindy has monogrammed for her. PRECIOUS! That child should have no trouble learning her name or initials.

A friend from my online group, Karen, will be in Guatemala the same time that we will. She is going to visit her daughter, Abbie. We are going to be each other's photographers. Karen has graciously offered to film our first meeting with Abbie in a Snugli (that's one more thing I need to go buy), so you'll all get to see our blubbering and carrying on.

10 days and counting..........
