Let me start at the beginning......
At 5am I woke with a start and couldn't fall back to sleep (not really unusual for me), so I went downstairs and laid on the couch for awhile.
I groggly decided to check my emails.....and in my inbox was an email titled "you're cleared for travel". I had to look twice and then tears flooded. I opened the email and there it was.....the news we had been waiting for.....our travel call!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I couldn't believe it.....how, how, how??? We had just checked with the Visa Center yesterday and they saw her picture but no VI and no Visa yet......so how could we be getting the call???? I knew it would come when I least expected and there it was!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The words I have longed for since seeing her face.........the words that any momma wants to hear..........your baby is READY!!!!!
We are frantically working on travel plans and will update when we have them. But for right now, in this moment, I want to take a breath and enjoy, and feel, and CELEBRATE!!!! Because its no longer years, months, that our family will be united....its now weeks, days.
And my mom pointed out something to me.......4 years ago today we were logged in to China.....beginning our wait and our journey to our children.....and now 4 years later we have a TRAVEL CALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To a different land, to a different experience....but to how it was always supposed to be.
As I sat with Jae-min before nap I took a moment to realize how truly blessed I am. I didn't think I could wait one more day, one more second.....but look I could, because this feeling is like no other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We're on our way baby girl.
