Ok, so I apparently had LOST my mind during my midnight post last night. It is NOW, 35 hours until I get on the plane so it was impossible for it to have been 30 hours last night. So, math obviously isn't my strong suit.
And, I worked on my bags again after the last post and managed to get everything nicely tucked into the bags I have. I have one more item that needs to fit somewhere, but I am hopeful that I can figure that out before I go.
Today, I need to work in the field again, pick up some formula to take to A., go to the bank (Kevin might be doing that one), get Kevin to sign new I600 forms as I think he signed the first ones in the wrong place, get a color copy of my passport, enter some more jobs, drop my snacks off at Jennifer's for her to pack in her suitcase, go to Josh's football practice and sleep in my bed for the LAST TIME before I have a new baby in the house. *sigh* I heard word from over there that the babies are a bit sniffly (beginning of cold season) and have a bit of diarrhea and diaper rash, so... I'm going to make sure I have all the things packed for that. I'm sure I do because I cannot IMAGINE how I left anything out and still have as much luggage as I do. The good thing is one of the bags will not be making the return trip home. I'm exchanging it for Ellie. *smile*
I'm so very, very excited.

Oh, Maria...Noli and I are so happy for you and your family. Of course we are most thrilled for Ellie, who will soon be in your loving embrace and then home with her FAMILY.
In case I don't get to email you personally later, I am saying it here and now...I wish you a safe trip, and lots of smiles for what's ahead (even diaper blowouts ;), fabulous memories, and then another safe journey home with Ellie.
Hugs,
Jackie
Dude, GET ON THE PLANE ALREADY!!!!!! I am not a patient woman and this countdown is TORTURE! I am so excited to read the first post you write while holding Ellie in your arms. You have so much one-handed typing coming up because I don't imagine you will be letting that baby girl go any time soon.
Congratulations to you and your whole family. Enjoy the trip and have safe travels.

On days when I am feeling down and stressed and hopeless, I find myself turning to your blog for comfort and hope. Thank you for helping me throught those moments.
Now that that is out of the way....I wish you a great, quick, safe trip. I cannot wait to read about it and see more pictures of your beautiful Ellie!!
God bless,
