so, is it normal to already be losing sleep a week and a half before we leave? i'm in trouble! i'm just way too excited. i fall asleep just fine, but if fisher (my 2 year old) wakes me up....then i'm toast. i am awake thinking about every possible scenario that could ever possibly happen for the rest of jamison's life.
truly, for me, this probably IS normal. i like to think of situations and how i would handle them. it is completely futile, but it makes my little brain feel better after running through the options.
i just think that i will not sleep a WHOLE lot while in china, so i should be sleeping as much as i can now, but that seems like it won't be happening!
i hope jamison is sleeping well.
is he excited?
is he scared?
does he "get" that he is moving around the world?
sleep well, little jamison.
all of the rest of you sleep tight as well. i'll do my best to join you. :)

Teetering on the cusp
Oh the fabled and much anticipated TA (travel approval) has finally arrived! For awhile i was thinking that the TA was a mythical beast that i would never actually encounter, but here it is!
it seems that we will travel to china on tuesday, july 7th to go and meet our sweet babe, jamison! after staying in china for about two weeks (IF things go as planned) we will bring that amazing little boy all the way back to st. louis park, minnesota to meet his new family and begin his new life. and that sentence i just typed in no way begins to encompass all that is about to happen to this young man! it is going to completely rock his whole world. everything in his life is about to change....our lives too. and it's thrilling. and it's scary. and it's beautiful.
he has NO idea about the barrage of dr. appointments coming his way, or the permanacy of this flight back to the U.S.A. he is going to be leaving, quite possibly, the very best place that he could have possibly been living in while he was waiting for a family. the philip hayden foundation is one of the most amazing, and life-giving orginzations around. the children who have the good fortune to live there are blessed daily with people who love them selflessly and give of themselves with wild abandon. and they do this ALL OF THE TIME! it will be a hard day for jamison to leave his friends, teachers, nannies, and doctors who have become very much like family. he does have some good friends living in the united states already. his roommate, elijah is living with his new family in missouri, and he has a precious friend in wisconsin who is anxiously awaiting jamison's arrival. we will be making some trips, i think :)
i hope to buy our tickets on monday, and then i think i will feel more secure about our travel plans. thank you all for your interest and love and prayers for jamison and for our family. we are grateful for the support. i will keep you posted!
