6 Days and Counting...

Well, quoting my wonderful husband, things are "coming together like a good sandwich"! We had a few stressful days of trying to get things in order. We were really expecting another 3 month wait at the least, so we really did not have everything ready to go, but we are in a good spot this afternoon:

• Flights are booked. We leave Tuesday at 4:00pm from Boston. We arrive home (if all goes smoothly) Saturday at 8:00pm.
• Visas are on the way (hopefully!). Our credit card has been charged, so we have taken this as a good sign, and we are watching the mailbox carefully.
• We have ordered our flat, unwrinkled, not-written-on, new money as well.
• Packing is going slowly, but we have little shopping to complete. Our suitcase is almost full, and we only have gifts for other people in there!

I still need to make a "master" list of everything we need, and things I need to do before Tuesday, but I feel good that the big items above are completed!

It still is a bit surreal that we will be meeting our child in a week. I wonder if it will ever sink in that finally, Ken and I will be parents!
