I woke up today at 3:30 a.m., with thousands of thoughts of this amazing day running through my head. There's so much that will change in the next 12 hours! I'll have to relearn how to pack a diaper bag today. I'll get to say, "Hey, Jaycie, hand me a diaper for your sister," for the first time today. We'll wake up tomorrow with a baby in the room. We'll learn to finesse the baby hand-off when we're going places. We'll learn to carry extra weight on our hips and maneuver a stroller. We'll have to figure out baby snaps, buckles, and buttons all over again. Baby cuddles & snuggles will fill our days and nights in the months to come. Love will multiply in ways we can't even begin to fathom. Oh, what a day today will be! We're on our way!
(NOTE #1: This is Ashley posting, BTW. It's too much of a pain to log in and out of our accounts, especially b/c we have question marks all over the screen where Chinese characters should be. NOTE #2 to Dana & other interested pals: To figure out the time in China, change a.m. to p.m. and add 2 hours.)

So excited for your family. We have stayed at the Gloria two times for adoptions for our Jiangxi babies. We're friends of Marilynn's in TN! Saw your post on the CHI group. We'll be praying for you on this most wonderful journey. What a CHRISTMAS this year!
