Annaka's Crib


In less than 16 hours we will have a baby to go in this crib. It still doesn't seem real to me. I just cant imagine having her with us.
We met with Kristine and she said we will get the babies and then we will go back to the hotel. About 3 hours later we have to do paperwork then we go to the Civil Affairs Office for more paperwork and for our "family picture".
Kristine took us to a store just a block away so we could get our supplies. WOW, do the people stare at us! We asked Kristine if they were okay with us adopting or are they angry at the people that come over to get the babies. She said the people here are happy to have us take the babies. She said they will swarm you when you are out with the babies. To only let them touch their hands and face and not let them hold her (we wouldn't anyway). I am just amazed at the people who just stare. They don't care if we see them or not. They are just amazed by us. It is a very weird feeling to say the least.
Well, Scott is down at Raina and Michon's room so I guess I will head down there.
Then next time I post it will be with a picture of Annaka!!

Finally! I've been checking and checking. Think of the flight as labor - as soon as you have Annaka, it will all be worth it!!
It got COLD here!! -9 with a -26 wind chill this morning. Think we'll stay inside today!
I've been thinking of you and praying for you constantly!
