We're packed! Can you believe it?? Mr. and Mrs. Procrastinator have not only packed for themselves a day ahead of time, but the Peanut is packed and ready to go as well! Be careful! Lightening may strike! :-)
This is my 149th post - boy do I like to talk/type, or what??. We also packed 149 pounds of luggage. I kid you not. Of course, 49 of those pounds are donations for the orphanage. There are also 2 Quillos (quilts that fold into pillows that Keith's mom made for the orphanage director and psychologist). So, it's not ALL of our stuff. Oh, and I should probably mention that the 149 pounds does not include the Peanut's luggage. My sister and Alex are bringing his suitcase over with them.
I had a GREAT baby shower yesterday. Got to see friends I haven't seen a while. The Peanut has been spoiled rotten. We've had to put away most of the toys because we're sure he'll be overwhelmed when he first comes home. I think we have enough toys to take out of hiding from now until he turns 5. :-) (I'll have to do a picture post soon of both showers)
It's completely surreal... in less than a month, I'll have a little boy in this house! Can you believe that?
Well, I have to get pictures printed off for the judge and gather all of my paperwork. It's going to be a long night. Tomorrow is my last day of work (yes, I'm a moron and didn't take tomorrow off) so I need to, at some point, get some sleep!
Hugs!

Becky I am so excited for you! As someone who had to wait 7 years for a child, I can tell you it was all worth the wait. I know your journey has been long and difficult at times but you are in for so much love in the next few weeks and beyond. Good luck with the trip!
Becky! Yeah you are packed! So glad to hear everything is coming together. I can't wait to read your post while you are in Russia. I'll be praying all things go well!
Woo hoo! I'm so excited for you. I can't wait to follow your blog while you are there.
LOL...you slipped up and posted his name. Your mind must be in a million other places. Congratulations on being so close and I have a present for you today so I'll swing by your office.
So exciting! I bet you can't believe this day is finally here. You'll be home with your son soon.
Glad you had a good shower.
We am so proud of the both of you for taking such a long journey for such a wonderful prize. You are wonderful parents to our little one. All of our family, both sides, are praying and wishing you the best of everything. We all can't wait for all of you to come back home swiftly and safely. Love always.
Here's to safe travels and a smooth court day!!!! Have a GREAT time with the peanut and we can't WAIT to see pictures when he gets home!
Renae and Joe
have a safe flight and enjoy this time. it is crazy, but sooo worth it
I tried and tried to figure out how I could get there for your babyshower but just couldn't make it work. I will have to wait until after the Peanut makes his appearance and then try to figure out how I can come visit. Your babyshower gift is on it's way.. Will probably get there while you guys are gone. Travel safe! I am thinking of you!
I cannot believe that you leave tomorrow for Russia. I am so excited to follow your journey to bring your little boy home. I cannot wait to see pictures from abroad and read about your Gotcha Day.
Safe travels and lots of love coming your way!
Hi Becky! I am so excited for you and your family!! I hope you had a great last day of work before your trip. It must be surreal after all of the waiting when your little one will finally be with you!! Sounds like your shower was fun - Have a very safe and fun trip! Warmest wishes...Teresa
So, so excited for you and for the peanut!!! What a wonderful HUGE week ahead of you! :)
Tomorrow you leave! Can't wait to hear about the Peanut and how he is doing. Good luck on Friday, but I'm sure we'll "talk" before that. Get some sleep tonight and have safe travels to your little boy.
It's here, ready or not :) I am so excited for you, I can't imagine how you must be feeling tonight. Safe travels. I'll be following along.
Good luck. You will be suprised how the time will fly by. And just wait it goes way to fast once you get them home. Enjoy your time in Russia!
