More Limbo

It looks like we're still up in the air as to whether our embassy date of July 8th will work out. We waited all day for a confirmation, but never got it. But because of our planned week of travel before the adoption week, we had to either buy our tickets today or lose them entirely as the planes are full for next weekend. So we bought them! If we find out next week that our embassy date really is delayed, we'll just have to pay a $100 change fee and re-book so we're covered either way. Whew. It's been crazy trying to figure all this out!

Yesterday I had a bad case of anxiety. Nausea, heart palpitations, the works. I'm not sure if it's the going to Africa part, or leaving my boys here without us, or all the unknowns that are in store for us. It's much better today. Funny how it comes and goes. I have a feeling that once we're on the plane headed half way around the world to meet our baby girl and see a bit of her birthplace, we'll be fine.

I would think any of the above could cause an anxiety attack. Really, none of it is rational. It's been a long journey to your daughter and it isn't quite over yet. Really, when you get her home, the journey is just beginning. Someone suggested that while you are in Africa, you should by some music CDs or even some spoken word CDs so your little girl can hear the sounds of her birth country too. Knowing Chris, you'll have lots of pictures :) Hang in there. lots of love from all of us.
