Day 5 Travel to Zhengzhou

Today was a travel day to Zhengzhou.  We left Beijing this morning with the best weather since we had been there.  Sky was very clear and no pollution anywhere.  We got on a plane around 9:30am and left for our new city.  This is where we will get Sarah Grace tomorrow (Gotcha Day).  Walked into the hotel room today and reality really hit when I saw a crib sitting beside my bed.  Wow!!  The time has really come.  It is finally here.  The thought of getting to see this little girl we have been praying for over the last 11 years is almost overwhelming.  The feelings are indescribable.  Taking in the thoughts for a bit, we then left for the bank and of course Walmart.  There were 11 American families all standing on the baby aisle looking at formula.  Seemed as if everyone that walked by had to stop at the end of the aisle and watch as if they didn't know what had happened.  As I sit here typing this, I am thinking to myself, "this will be the last night I am alone before I become a dad."  I am not sure how you tell someone to prepare for this.  I have had 11 years of waiting and I still can't seem to feel prepared.  Gotcha Day is just hours away!!!!!!!!!!!!

  1. You are already an amazing daddy! I want so badly to be there by your side for this moment we have long awaited. Every time I feel Seth kick I am reminded of why I am not there.....there is another amazing miracle coming in just a few months. It is an interesting thing to feel the most excited you've ever felt at the same time feeling the saddest you've ever felt.....hard to process. So many emotions! My heart is there with you! My little girl will meet her daddy for the first time in just a few hours. I cannot imagine a more joyful moment this side of heaven. I rest in knowing God's timing and plans are perfect! I cannot wait to watch the moment Sarah Grace becomes our daughter in your arms! I love you Chris with all my heart. I miss you something fierce! I will be waiting for the phone call!! Love you! Be brave!
