Well, the past few days have been spent trying to get ready to travel to Ethiopia. There is such a mixture of emotions. First off it is quite serial to think that in just two weeks there will be kids running around our house. We have prepared for this for so long...I just can't believe we're about to be parents. All of the things we're taking ont he trip are in our downstairs bedroom. I have packed the two huge bags full of donations. We basically have to pack our stuff and the kids things. YEsterday we got our shots for yellow fever and Typhoid fever. My arm was killing me yesterday, I had to take advil the rest of the day. Of course Kurt's didn't hurt at all....figures.
We had our Baby Shower today!!! Our good friends, Melanie, Laciana, and Lena threw it for us. We had it at our house. Lots of people came!!! Most of our neighbors, some people from Mom's ALIVE (Joi, Christine, and Julia), and friends from Northeast. We also had Michael from our chiropractor's office join us. She's very sweet. :) We got so many wonderful gifts. We definitely have the basics we need for when the kids come home.
No HOTEL YET!!!!! Unfortunately we have yet to find a place to stay in Addis Ababa. It is totally stressing me out. Kurt feels like we have enough people working on finding us lodging that it will work out. We are praying it does. I can't imagine that our agency would send us to Ethiopia wihtout somewhere to stay...but who knows.
A week from now we will have our kids!!!!
