I am sooo excited for you..
You are almost there girly..
Have a Great Holiday..
I know you will.
Hugs..
Wheee! You have your itinerary and the best part is it includes the day you're going to meet Lauren!!
It becomes very real when you see it in print!
Your itinerary is very similar to when I adopted my dgt. Loren Elizabeth in 2002!
She is also from Guangdong.
I am looking forward to seeing Lauren in your arms.
I know I will shed a some happy tears.
p.s. The bathroom is adorable!
What a great day to leave it is our daughter Astrud's and ELVIS's Birthday!!!
Oh My God we're parents! cracks me up but at the same time makes my heart sing for you.
Love, Kristy

I know the excitement that you're feeling right now. We can't wait to follow your journey. I'm so excited!!!!!!! Safe travels and remember...SAVOR EVERY MOMENT. It goes by so fast!!!!!!!
How exciting! Soon you will be a mommmy! When you are in Guangzhou, onw day walk to the local market (which is across the bridge by the Cow and Bridge Thai restuarant). It's will worth the trip. The Cow and Bridge is also the best Thai food I've ever had!
Take lots of zip loc bags, duct tape, a small scissors, some plastic grocery bags, and baby tylenol (and motrin) along with a dosage guide for Lauren's size (not always on the bottles). I'll let you know if I remember any other must haves for the trip. Oh, I just thought of one: Bring a cardboard picture tube so you can get artwork home without crushing it! I packed socks in it on the way to China and brought tons of beautiful art home.
