Can you believe it? I can't. So many thoughts running through my head. I still have not forgotten about the many that are still stuck in the process, stuck in limbo land, and have been waiting much longer than I did. It's not fair. I wish so much I could be celebrating with each and every one of you. I'm thinking of you all today as I hold my daughter, and pray that you hold your babies soon too.
Well, last night worked out as planned. I ran to Walmart to buy some formula and some other stuff. Came home and when Chris got home from work, we ran out the door to drop the kids off at Katie's house. We went to Beck's Land & Sea in Nazareth. Had a nice meal with literally 4 people in the restaurant, LOL, and then went back to Katie's. Grabbed the kids, came home, got them ready for bed, and off to lala land they went. Chris and I watched American Idol, and then I went into bed as well. Except there I tossed and turned for hours. Finally, I fell asleep only to be awoken by my dog, Eli, twice who jumps off the bed, then can't see because its dark to jump back on so he cries and cries until you lift him. I could have killed him because each time took me forever to fall asleep again! Then, I woke up at 5:45 for good, and read my Joe Torre book. All of a sudden, I hear gagging, not good. I run into Carmela's room to be welcome by throwing up! UGH! I do laundry, get her cleaned up and dressed, and she's FINE. She wants to eat breakfast, and play. Is it nerves, I wonder? I know my stomach has not been well since last night (too much information) and Chris keeps telling me, it's nerves! Regardless, Carmela stood home from school today.
I got the kids fed and settled, and Gerri called as I was vacuuming. Thankfully I heard the answering machine answer, so I picked up. She told me where to meet her, and the time. I called Chris and we decided that at 3:10, I will make sure the flight leaves on time, and then we will leave for the airport. We are worried about traffic.
I am now showered and ready to go. I have to give Carmela a bath (again!) and then my mother in law will be here soon. She's going to watch the kids so I can run to Babies R Us to buy a teether, a monitor and then run to buy a tape for our video camera. I'd take the kids, but I don't feel like cleaning up puke just in case :) Plus they miss their Grandma so much, it will be nice for them to stay with her.
Chris should be home around 1:00 I think. I can't wait. I miss him today. Plus then that means only a few more hours until we leave.
So that is our agenda for the day. Full of nervousness and excitement! I keep wondering how she's doing on the plane, as surely she is still in the air now.
My next post will be about Airplane Day!!!!!!!

How exciting!! Add a puke bucket to the list of things you need to take to the airport with you, just in case! :)
I hope you have a wonderful forever family day. Oh and don't forget to take the cell phone number for the representative you're meeting, just in case you do hit traffic.
Have a happy forever family day!
Thrilled for you! Except the vomit part. :)
I can't wait to see the pictures! Don't feel bad about the nerves; I think it is normal. It's not everyday that you calmly prepare to meet your child. I was a ball of nerves and close to throwing up for days in advance. It will all be better as soon as she is in your arms!
As I type this I hope that you are sitting at the airport and waiting for Juliana to get off the plane! My heart does flip flops just reading your posts! So happy for you and your family. Hope that you have a wonderful and magical day together... one that you will never forget!
How exciting Jackie!!! I'm very happy for you and your family! You have your sweet Juliana in your arms by now, and I hope it's as wonderful as you've been dreaming of it to be. Happy first family day!
Hope all went we and you are cuddling Julianna when you read this!!! Nerves are normal and trueth be told, I didn't calm down for a month after Evangeline was home (Kept thinking someone would come take her from me!) Relax if possible and enjoy!
