I absolutely can't believe this day is here. We have literally been talking about this for about 10 years and actively pursuing it for 3. I guess after all that time, it's hard to believe that it's really going to happen. I really can't believe that they're going to hand her over to me and that's it!!
We're all packed. Every bag is about 49 lbs. I guess we'll see how accurate our scale is ;) I have already informed Richard that there will be NO shuffling things from bag to bag! If they're over...he'll just have to pay. I can't get them any lighter than they are, and if I open them up...I might not get them closed again!
Gotcha Day is Monday afternoon, so while you're sleeping Sunday night, we'll be meeting Miss Wesleigh!! Diana is going to help me with my blog to make sure the posts get there. I was really hoping to be traveling with Diana, but that wasn't to be. She'll be going next month, and I'll get to watch her get sweet Sienna.
Please keep us in your prayers...that we'll all stay healthy and safe, that Wesleigh will have an easy transition, and that we will be able to discern how to best meet her needs. Thanks for all of your support throughout this process. You're the best!!
I'm off to bed. We have to get up at 2:45 to make a 6:15 flight in New Orleans. I'm thinking it's not going to be a problem ;) The boys are so excited, they can't contain themselves. I am so glad we decided to take them with us (although I might feel differently when we've been together for a week!).
We're going to CHINA!!!!
5 more sleeps until we get Miss Wesleigh!!

Oh Jennifer, I am so happy for you. I know the emotions that you are feeling right now. It is overwhelming to say the least. I will pray for your sweet family and Miss W. I pray that you have safe flights, and more importantly that you have great guides who will take care of you in China. That will make a huge difference. And I pray for Wesleigh. I pray that she has time to grieve for the life she is leaving behind, but that she can attach to your family with God speed.
Happy and safe travels to you. I cannot wait to hear from you on the other side!

I have chills just THINKING about you holding the girl of your heart! I can't get over it!! We (of course!) will be watching every minute you are in China. And you will be thankful that you posted your thoughts as you have them! They will be fun to read a year from now when life is "normal"!! And you are a Momma of FOUR kiddos - including one little girl born in China!!! Can't wait to see WJ in an adorable little hat! Safe Travels!!
