5:30 A.M.

That's what time "our driver" is scheduled to pick us up tomorrow morning. It's gonna be a long day...but it is by far the most long-awaited day ever. We're finally headed to Thailand to welcome our little girl into the world! And that means that by 5:30 p.m. tomorrow evening (when we arrive in Bangkok) it will officially be okay with us if she arrives early. Up until this point, her arriving early was not an option. Not in China. No way Jose. But 12 hours from now, upon pulling into the parking lot of the hospital where we'll be staying, I will officially give Eden permission to enter the world. :) But if she takes her time baking just a little bit longer...that's ok with us too!

So our plans for Bangkok include:
Eating much anticipated American food for just about every meal.
Going to the movies...maybe even seeing the same movies twice just to experience a movie theater again!
Watching the Discovery Channel and National Geographic on cable tv!
and waiting on Eden!

Other than that, we don't have much scheduled. And it's so nice.

Our little hotel that we're staying in though, we've heard, only has dial-up. And since it's been a good minute since we've used dial-up, we're not sure if it will be fast enough to post blogs, send pictures, etc... So if our blog goes a few days or weeks without anything new, blame it on the dial-up. (or us just enjoying our Pizza Hut pizza far too much to take the time to write)
We hope to find some high-speed somewhere to connect to though, so we can post pictures of Eden soon after she arrives. Don't hate on us though if it takes longer than expected...cuz you know, we're gonna be new at the whole parenting thing!

Eeesh! We're gonna be parents! Sure hope God knows what he's doing! :)

YAY! I personally hope Eden waits until her due date or a couple days after...so we can be more sure of seeing her when we're there!

Also, the whole standing up before the movie for the national anthem is a bit different...but it is SO nice to smell popcorn and hear American voices and faces on the big screen...and don't forget your sweaters!

AND YAY FOR BABY EDEN!!!
