We have arrived in Changsha

It is almost 6:00 a.m. on Monday March 5th -- the day we meet Maggie! We have not slept that much because we are so excited, so we will keep this post short. We arrived at the hotel around 9:00 p.m. last night, and we were beat so we went to bed. We are getting ready now to meet the other families for breakfast, then we meet our guide at 9:30 a.m. to collect our money and paperwork, and then at 10:30 we leave to drive to the Civil Affairs office to meet our babies! I can hardly believe it... today is the day that we finally get to meet our precious Maggie.

We have to shop this afternoon for the babies, however when we return to the hotel later today, we will try to post a picture or a video. We will also try to post pictures of the other families travelling with us, as I know that you are all interested in seeing all of the babies!

When we arrived in the hotel room and saw the little crib ......I lost it. Believe it or not, this was the first time I had been emotional since we left Canada. For the first time, this feels real. Check out Maggie's bed for the next 5 nights. Just 5 more hours until our family is complete!!!!!

Gracie, we love you so much and can't wait until we are all together as a family. You are going to be such a great big sister. We will try to call you on Monday evening (NL time) to tell you all about your new little sister. We love you with all our heart......love Mommy and Daddy.
