2 more days

I think I will start packing today. I've been mentally packing for awhile, but I'll actually start getting the suitcases together. I'm not as nervous, or as excited as I thought I would be. Somehow this trip just feels very business-like at the moment. I'm sure that will change the minute they bring out little Miss A, but I somehow need to steel myself for leaving her in a baby home for several more months after we leave. Knowing how I felt about Dylan the second he was in my arms after he was born this just seems impossible, but I remind myself that thousands of parents do this year after year and need to think I'll get thru it one way or another. We have our visas and passports back. Our camera and camcorder batteries are all charged up. These are obviously the most important things we'll be bringing with us. And I bought some disposable cameras yesterday and will be hoping the caretakers are willing to take some photos of her while we're away. I was told the orphanage is requesting diapers from us, which mostly we will purchase in Russia. I may try to fit a few packages in our luggage. My goal for today is just to get some Intl Calling Cards to give to our employees so they can call our hotel if needed. I think I need to look in like small liquor stores for these.
