Okay. So I have 8 more days until I hit the runway. It's going to be one long day. Leave Seattle at 5:30 pm and get into Guatemala City at 10:30 am the next day. I have a super long layover in Houston and have yet to convince my brother and his family to spend the wee morning hours with me in the airport. Today Luis and I spent most of the day looking for suitcases at the Goodwill and Thrift Stores. I am hesitant to borrow any because I am not sure if they will make the return trip. We found a few that will work for us. It's kind of funny to be packing for three. The rest of my week I'm sure will be doing these last minute details. I can't wait to see this little one and say "I'm your mommy". Luis has been getting into it to. Although he is nervous about changing that first diaper. Someone spilled the beans and told him that those first poops are messy and I shared the story that my brother told me about Camille (my oldest niece) and her flying mustard. He's a tad apprehensive! I told him to not fear and I will hold his hand during trial and error!

  1. Terri - I'm excited to see your blog! This has been such an amazing way for me to reconnect with old friends and become better friends with people as well. Welcome to the blogging world! I can't wait to hear more about your trip and your new baby. Truthfully, the first diaper isn't such a big deal because you're so in love with your baby. It's the 2 year-old diapers that make you groan!

  2. I hope all goes well for you...It's funny how both my first and last companions are adoptive parents.
