Recalling details

I can't explain this but I have constant butterflies in my stomach today. Perhaps I'm relating to this time last year when the excitement of traveling to China had finally become reality. Or maybe it was the fact I had never traveled overseas and was wondering how I could stay in my seat for 13 hours. Yep, so much to think about. I MEAN I WAS GOING TO BECOME A MOMMY in 3 days...my mind was racing, my heart pounding and so I kept packing and unpacking. I was a complete nut case, no sleep for weeks and now wild with love for this child I would soon meet. How could anyone keep their emotions in check.

All in all I was so HAPPY! HAPPIER THAN I ever Imagined I could be, knowing this child, my daughter was awaiting me (us) in a small orphanage half way around the world.
