Congratulations! I am SO excited for you! Just remember to take pictures of everything, even if you don't think it's important at that moment... those obscure photos of people in the park, your hotel, shops, etc... will be a big part of your reminicing and memory book creation later.

Also don't forget to buy things for your daughter for CNY, Adoption Day anniversaries, etc. Perfume bottles, Fans, Cloissone jewelry, etc.

Finally, don't forget to stop and take it all in and journal daily. Here I am 3 months and 2 days since holding Ian for the first time and I so wish I had stopped to smell the roses a little more while we were there. It's easy to get caught up in the chaos of the process, but your memories and thoughts in the moment will be what you'll want to remember months and years down the road...

Congrats again Karen & Bruce!
