ReplyDeleteI am so excited for you and your sweet girl Elizabeth! I'll definitely be stalking your blog to see if you post!
You must not be sleeping a wink!!!!! Its the greatest time ever, enjoy every single minute of it. I can not wait to follow your trip to China and see updated pictures of that gorgeous girl!! Enjoy this week..try not to stress over things like gifts, food, clothes. The gifts they don't open in front of you (I stressed majorly over this) and don't really seem to care...tons of places for food for baby, and you will want to buy tons of clothes for her there!
