Meeting our daughter

Yes, it is true. We have finally decided to go meet our baby. This was very scary for me, for many reasons.

First reason, the birth family can still change their minds. Yes it is true, something that I guess I knew, but I felt alright about because I haven't held her, touched her, kissed her. Now I decided to go anyways, and take our chances.

Next reason I was scared, was the thought of leaving her there after I have spent every moment with her for three days. (we get her the whole time we're there) How excrutiating that will be. I have been watching other peoples blogs and they all say that it is worth it. So we are going to go.

Third and final reason. Oh my gosh what if I don't know what to do if she won't quit crying? This baby doesn't know us, we will look different we will speak different she might and very well could be scared to death of this white, blue eyed blonde. I know, I know it will be fine. No, it won't, I will be in a different country, I won't be able to call anyone and after about an hour of screaming, Mike would be sitting in the bar enjoying a corona, and that is where I would want to be if it wouldn't stop. So, we decided, what are Grandmas for. Hee Hee. I decided to ask my mom if she would like to go. She jumped all over it. Mikes mom wants to soooo bad but just can't get on a plane. She says she gets sick just thinking about it. Oh well, hopefully she'll only have to wait a couple more months to meet her new grandbaby. So anyways we asked Aunt Dude to take her spot. Uncle Dan is coming too. How awesome this will be. To share this moment with them all.

So anyways I am waiting on a current weight so that I can find a itsy bitsy teeny wheeny Bikini for my girl. Some new clothes, diapers, swimming diapers and all lthat stuff a mom needs to take care of her baby for a weekend. I will have to stay in the hotel for the hotel time that I have Avea. I am trying to plan some things for the rest of them to do. I think one will be going to Antigua for the day. They say it is awesome there. We will be leaving in almost a month. Oh my GOSH I need to stay CALM.

It is going to take us about 7 1/2 hours to get there. That is including a two hour lay over in Texas. We will get there friday at about 1:30 p.m. And we will be home Monday about 4:30 in Detroit.
