Labor Pains and Excitement

We are finally wrapping up the last minute things in order for us to be able to hop on a plane and head for Vietnam! We have Ema packed, but after tallking with some friends about their trip to Vietnam to pick up their beautiful baby girl Maria,we are sure that we packed way to many clothes and will need to take a few things out. We put up the Christmas tree and all of the other Christmas decorations this weekend. We thought it was better to do it now than to have to do it once we are home. Kirk and I got our shots done yesterday. (that is the labor pains) I know, I know, yes I am a nurse and yes I HATE shots. We got a tetnus shot (ouch), a thyphoid fever shot(ouch) and a Hepatitis A shot(ouch)!! Our arms are killing us today. Oh well, little Ema is worth all the pain. We bought Ema Magna Doodle yesterday to help occupy her on the plane and Aunt Amy gave Ema a bunch of movies for her to watch. Ema is ready and as for Kirk and I, all we have left to do is to run 1 more half marathon on Sunday (Kirk and I will be road warriors)and pack ourselves. I cannot believe that the time is here for us to finally meet Ema! I cannot imagine what that day is going to be like.

Emily,
You may not remember me but I am Emily (Dycus)Ross's mother. I remember you since you two were just babies. I am really proud of what you have accomplished (I'm a nurse, too!) and how well you are facing your adversities. Your faith is amazing! I want to offer my congratulations to you and wish you all a safe trip. God Bless You!
