In less than 24 hours we will be on a plane to meet our son. Today, I think, is the first day we get checked on our parenting skills. We had to choose clothes for the trip, we are sterilizing bottles, and making sure there are enough things in our bag to keep Jaden somewhat entertained on our enviable 12.5 (yes, you read that correctly) flight back from Seoul to Chicago. I was fairly proud that we didn't have "much to do" today -- I thought we were pretty set. But, I've been up since 7, it is now 2, and I haven't put anything of Jaden's in a bag yet -- let alone of my own. Welcome to our new life.
The house is a bit of a disaster, but I've made sure Jaden's room is properly organized. Here's a picture of what awaits our little boy. The quilt is compliments of my mother. I.love.it. Thanks mom, I can't wait to introduce you and everyone else to the latest addition to our family.
Until Seoul then.
This is the most exciting news ever! Words escape me...but the quilt is absolutely perfect. Stunning really. Your mum is just brilliant. Everything is so settled into place now. : )
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that quilt! My mom is a quilter too (you & I are having more & more in commment by the moment here...hmmm). Jaden's room looks perfect. He'll love it! I can't imagine all the emotions you are feeling right now. (I can't wait to feel them myself when it is our turn to go to Seoul one of these days.) Happy and safe travels! Will you even sleep tonight? Wheee!
ReplyDeleteAli - lots of love, best wishes and safe travels from all of us in PA.....Can't wait to hear the updates as your journey begins! Love, Tracey and Co.
ReplyDeleteI'll be thinking of you a lot. Every day. Every hour. Maybe not every minute, but I do have some things to do around here. ;) Lots of love to all three of you! I can't wait to hear all about him.
