Today is the big day!!!! We are in Nanchang!!!

Good Morning!
We just got up at around 6:00A here and B is bouncing around getting ready for breakfast. He just made himself some coffee, after I insisted he boil the water like 10 times (haha!). Thank goodness for Starbucks, VIA ready brew coffee!! I don't know what he'd do without it. Ok, that just sounded like a commercial! I, on the other hand am still dragging and feel a bit light headed so I'm going to try to lay down for another hour or 2. We got news from our guide Karen that they will be bringing Hadley directly to our room today at 4:00P.M., give or take. Today's the big day!!!!! Brandon and I were talking about how much we miss Wyatt and then he says, "We are going to have another little life this afternoon that is just as important to us"...It melted my heart because it's the truth! So while y'all are sleeping soundly, we will be holding our daughter for the first time and I'm still saying...pinch me! I promise that once we've had some time to settle in with her, I will post but I don't anticipate that it will be right away because I really want to focus on her. I can't imagine how frightened she's going to feel and what a great shock to her system it will be to leave the place (the only place) that she has known her entire life and come to two very strange looking people...Well maybe one strange looking person, Brandon (haha ;-) Just kidding! He's definitely my BETTER half! He's filling in for Sandy with the, "deep breaths- deep breaths" :) But even though we already love her and have the best of intentions, we're aware that she's at an age where she understands somewhat but not entirely know what is happening to her and I pray that God gives her comfort and peace that transcends all understanding. I know this is going to be very hard on her.

A little sweet moment about Wyatt that my mom and sister shared with me...We left pictures for my parents to show Wyatt and while they showed him our pictures, He layed his head down on one and said, Mama! Oh how precious these little ones are and OH HOW BLESSED BLESSED BLESSED we are that God has ENTRUSTED his little life to US! That still boggles my mind! Now another precious little life that he is entrusting to us and another tremendous responsibility it will be to raise her to know Jesus! Wow!!

I love you guys!!! Thank you soooo much for praying!!!! This will very likely be my last post until sometime tomorrow!!

Last but not least...I plead the 5th on how together my thoughts will come across with the lack of sleep at this point, so bare with me :)

Big squeezes and hugs from Nanchang!!
XOXO

PS- Anyone who is getting ready to travel soon...The Colgate wisps (mini travel tooth brushes) are the BEST when you've been on and off planes for 30 hours. It was SO refreshing to have them! And, the sani-wipes have been another blessing when cleaning things off or washing hands on the plane!
