The bags are all packed (minus the toiletries and the carry-ons -- 1 backpack and Andrew's bag). We decided on 3 bags -- they each weigh 2 lbs under the limit. Most of it is dedicated to baby things and gifts for everyone we see. I figure more room to bring things back.
So this time next week, she'll be ours. :) Whew! 2.5 years later . . . it's finally all coming together!
