The Question on the Week...
Are you packed yet? the answer is NO! I know we are getting very close but I think today is the first day that I can relax and start packing for us, well that is tonight I still have to go to work. I had an audit at work yesterday that went really good!! and now I feel like my work stuff is winding down, yea! I only have 3 more days to work and when I come back I will be a mommy!!
I have Chloe mostly packed. I am still trying to decided if I should take her coat or just get one there? It is going to be cold in Changsha, but do I want to pack it? Jim and I still need to pack but hopefully that will be pretty easy.
Our little girl's life is about to change and she does not even know it. I know it will be hard for her at first but before we know it we will be living our new normal life with a toddler! I can't wait.

In a little over a week we will be parents. I can't believe I am even writing that!

I think I'd make room for the coat. To me, it's a necessity that is unavoidable. It won't take time away from her. Pack it flat on either the bottom or top of the suitcase.
My immediate thought on the coat is NOT to take it...but then again I think we didn't need half the junk we took to China. I'd see if there is room OR bring a lighter zipper hoodie and layer it!
I'd take the coat if I had room - one less thing to worry about.
I can't believe how close you're getting! If you're tight on space, I personally liked the suggestion of packing layers and a jacket for Chloe. Will you need to spend much time outside?
I am soooo excited for you ..
I can't wait to see her in your arms..
Love you

Changsha was cold in Feb./March last year! We did not pack a coat for Jon Jon but we did take alot of Polar Tec pants and hoodie for him. He came in that adorable yellow snow jacket and pants and that was what we used when it was super cold.
When we went shopping with Richard at the Wal Mart type store we saw lots of little jackets. I would not pack it.Everything we took was so big on him!! We had to roll up everything at the waist and the legs. The bottles and formula I would just take 2 and buy the rest there and the diapers just take enough to get you thru a couple of days. They have huggies there.
Lots of love and prayers to you guys for a safe trip! When do you actually leave? Where are you staying? Please tell Richard hello for us. Tell him Jon Jon is a true spicy Hunan warrior!!
