We arrive in Taipei on the 5th and arrive home on the 12th. We are flying American Airlines going, and EVA coming back. We are using frequent flyer miles going and purchased EVA tickets coming back (direct flight). Coleton is coming with us and Kyle is not. He has too many commitments to come at this point in time. He will stay home and watch the dog, and my neighbors, parents, and sister will watch him... actually noone really wanted this job. Coleton is really excited but more excited to take the limo and to go to the airport than the actual part of being in Taiwan.
Today, I got my manicure and pedicure (like Paige is really gonna know the difference) and tomorrow I get my hair cut. Hey, I want my little girl to not scream in terror as she looks at me ...HA.
Tomorrow's to do list includes: shopping for baby essentials for the trip,
stocking up on some diapers for when we get home, finishing up my gift list and getting the rest of the gift bags and ribbon.
The rest of the week: get packing- Jules I promise I will get packing.. I have everything in Paige's crib ready to be packed. Bringing up the high chair, the bouncy seat, the excersaucer. Installing the car seat.
Have I told you that this all feels surreal? After all this time of waiting we are going to go get Paige. I keep thinking I am going to get an email telling me it was a mistake... But no, I so can not wait to see her face and hold her. I keep thinking if she will be tiny, is she crawling?, will she cry when she first meets us? I am nervous about making bottles ( I always breastfed or used the ready made formula). I know it will all be fine... Keep on telling me this.

it will totally be fine, you are going to do great!! The bottle thing...you got this dude!! No biggie. If she cries when she meets you, or even if she screams, I am living proof that it will still be okay.
Go to the pet aisle and buy the tu balls for cats that have the bell inside...that was Hayden's favorite toy when we were in Taiwan, she almost always had one in her hand. You know they are small and just the size of their hand.
She is going to be tiny, much tinier than you are expecting...only tiny clothes go in the bag.
Oh by the way...it is going to be OKAY!! you really are going to do great, and it is not a mistake, you are going to get that girl of yours!!! I am so excited for you, NOW GET PACKING!!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE happy endings / new beginnings. We couldn't be happier for you & your family. We cannot wait to meet Paige as well!

Take a deep breath and relax! Little Paige is going to LOVE you! It sounds like you have everything all planned out and ready...except for the packing.=D
I can't wait to follow your journey to Taiwan! Good luck on packing. I pack and repack maybe a million times. Just remember you can get almost anything in Taiwan!!

Oh my gosh! I can feel your excitement. I think when you want something for a long time or work toward something for a long time that when you finally get it, it feels like a dream. It really does feel surreal. Just keep getting your supplies ready and pack it all up. It IS going to happen. This is the good stuff. Enjoy the ride:)
