We're finally here!!!

we finally made it after an extremely long trip. It is 1am here, but we slept enough on the plane it's hard to go back to sleep. The hotel is nice, our room is big and I have my stuff and Avery's unpacked. We plan on checking out the area a little tomorrow waiting to meet up with Zhou and the other families and then we get to meet Avery monday.

Getting ready

Well, i've been up since 5:30. I heard something and then i was awake and my mind wouldn't shut off! Sleepless nights are already here!!!

We are FINALLY packing for our trip to bring Avery home. What a whirlwind the past days have been. That phone call on tuesday changed everything for us! We are going to really get our little girl!!! I don't think it has really hit me yet. My emotions seem stuck or something. Keith has had plenty of tears of joy this week, but actually i'm the one holding it together. Maybe i'm still numb. The wait has been incredibly long, more so than we ever anticipated. I think i have just gotten tired of being let down, and I still have my guard up.

I put the bedding on the bed finally yesterday and started pulling things to pack. I have WONDERFUL friends who gave me a surprise "Chinese"-themed shower this past friday and really jump started Avery's wardrobe, along with more gifts from very dear friends last night. Thanks girls for everything!!
