God is Good

After months of waiting, we finally got the call yesterday morning that we have been cleared by the US Embassy and can go pick up our boy! We had to submit 3 dates that we would be willing to travel, each on appointment is on a Thursday. We are hoping to go the first week in October. They sent an email today to remind us that Josh's finger prints that are on file with immigration expire on Oct. 6.....so hopefully we will be going before then. We should find out tonight or tomorrow morning when our appointment will be. We are planning to leave on Saturday if all goes as planned.
It is hard to believe that it is finally happening. We have waited for so long and now the time is finally here but it seems more like a dream or that it is happening to other people and we are just watching. We have been packed for months now, I unpacked and repacked Liam's clothes with ones that will fit him last week. Now all we have to do is pack our bags and book the flight.
I am really nervous about traveling pregnant. I am very uncomfortable even sitting on the couch, I have been having a lot of back pain and round ligament pain. I dread the plane ride. But it will be totally worth it. I have a doctors appointment before we leave, so maybe he can suggest something for easier travel. I have to walk every 30 minutes to an hour while on the flight so I wont be getting much sleep, I am afraid I will fall asleep and miss my walk and end up with a blood clot....yes I know I worry too much. I was so so so sick the last time we were there I don't know if it was jet lag, the food, or maybe the shots I had 2 weeks before, but I am praying I will be able to eat this trip. We are planning to stay in a more Americanized hotel that is newer, the guest house we stayed at last time was ok, the people we super nice but we didn't have running water or electricity the last day we were there and it smelled super bad. Didn't really help my nausea and vomiting.

I had my 1 hour glucose test this morning. I managed to drink the awful drink and keep it down for 45 minutes but for the first time in my pregnancy I threw up blah! 15 minutes too soon now I have to go back tomorrow or one day this week to try again. I am so aggravated with myself. The tech told me to walk and drink water, I think that really made everything worse, I should have just gone to the car and laid down. But I got to bring the drink home with me so I can just drink it and drive up there after my hour is up. :(
