The paperwork is in!
Purolator came to the door today with our final paperwork. We now officially have our "Notice of Coming" It's soooooooo real now. It's been getting more and more real everyday, but seeing that official document made it hit home. I went upstairs to pack the paperwork and decided I would unpack the suitcases. BIG MISTAKE!
Can you say luggage explosion! I thought that I could pull everything out and repack properly but now I'm having a meltdown. Well, I guess it will keep me busy for the next couple of days. I thought it wasn't suppose to look like this until after the trip.
Anyone feel like packing?????

Oh I am so very very happy for you. I can't believe how close you are to having Olivia in your arms forever, I remember when you first started counting and now you are in the single digits...
I can't wait to 'see' Olivia in your arms forever. Oh I am so happy for you!
p.s. the picture just showed up, if I was closer I'd come and help you pack! lol boy oh boy you have your work cut out!!!! lol
Holy Moly ! that's a lot of stuffin Deb!! Is any of it yours or does Olivia have first dibs on the luggage ? I think I'll be having my own packing melt-down in a few days !!
Just a few days to go...
lol,

Sounds like quite a job! You may think I sound crazy, but...I can't wait until it happens to me (but, only because it means I will be getting my baby soon!). I will be following your trip!
Also, did you ever get my e-mail inviting you to read my blog?

Hehe...looks like your having fun!!
I cant wait until I'm in the same spot....very soon I hope!!!
CONGRATS on your Notice of Coming!!
Oh wow! Good luck with that.
I am still committed to carry on only...of course I may need to BE committed after but I'm convinced that's the route I'm going :0)
Hi Melissa!
I got your invite to your blog but there is nowhere to leave comments. Do you have that feature turned off??
Deb
Who are those people who travel carry-on only? From the looks of your photo, it's mission impossible! Not long now...........you must be estatic!
I have two words for you: GOOD LUCK! :) I only say that cause I'm in the same boat. We'll be the ones at the airport with broken zippers on our luggage and tons of "stuff" hangin' out! How the heck are we ever going to get all our shopping items home from China?
Karen - I'm banking on the fact that we get to bring back another bag for Olivia (hope so)!!
We are soooooooooooo excited for you. Were looking forward to "seeing" Olivia in your arms forever.
God Bless
Aunt Betty & Debbie
ps...your mom called my mom last night & they are planning on seeing each other while she's here. I'm looking forward to meeting you & Olivia.
I can hardly wait until we are at that stage. I hope Kirk is strong. It looks like he'll be lugging a whole lot of stuff. Don't forget to save room for the shopping:)
How exciting!!! I wish we were having a packing melt down!!! I'm very happy for you...and hopefully you'll get the suitcase thing figured out!!
Wow - you certainly have your work cut out for you repacking those bags!!
I think you are at 5 more sleeps!!!
I am so excited for you! Enjoy every minute!
I remember doing the same thing. This time I will be more prepared, pack less and bring more home! LOL
Happy re-packing. That should keep you busy until you need to leave for the airport!
Deb~ When I downloaded my new template it will not let me have the comments be 'visible.' So, I am working on that...Also, my soon-to-be daughter's middle name is Melissa (her first name is Faith...) My name is Meg! Don't worry about calling me Melissa, no big deal!

A. Lurker. . .who is overjoyed for you--just remember the first rule of traveling--take half as much luggage and twice as much money as you think you will need. They have so many department and discount stores in Guangzhou you can get anything you forgot and take advantage of the laundry service in the hotels and LAYERS!! And you may find out the sizes you were counting on were wrong anyway.
Good wishes go with you on this next step in your grand adventure.

Oh my.... this is one thing that I am worring about "packing". When you get back I would love to hear if you brought everything you need or way too much. Ugh... too many decisions. Good luck!
Can't wait to read your blog while you are in China.
