Talking I am crying but it is good

We are leaving to pick up our babies next week. I can not believe how fast this last part happened. One moment I am waiting on the dreaded GCBC and the next we are booking to go get the babies. I am all emotional and crying. It is finally happening. anna

Glad you have your appointments....

and that you weren't too tortured for the wait for pink. (of course ANY wait is hard!)

Have a wonderful trip.
