Counting the hours...

In less than 24 hours we will be on the first of our 3 flights to Vietnam. I am so excited!!! This was nothing short of the longest... week... ever. Right now I am alternating between being perfectly fine to feeling like I am going to have a panic attack to just wanting to throw up. Thursday I went to the doctor and she told me that I have a massive sinus infection and an ear infection. I am back on the edge of vertigo again which is just not cool. It took me almost 4 months to recover from vertigo last year and I really would rather not fall over and drop the baby. The doctor put me an agressive treatment plan consisting of 8 drugs and neti pot flushing twice a day. (That is a very weird thing to say the least.) Today I seem to be feeling better but I also feel like I am on speed. I am not sure which drug is doing that... most of my extremities feel heavy but my mind is racing. Maybe it is just mommy adrenaline kicking in.


My new friend and replacement at work, Tracy, came over and helped me pack. It was wonderful! We got so much accomplished in just a few short hours I was amazed. To those of you who requested the packing list and I sent it to you, I should note that it was missing dad's socks and baby swim suit. I think we have probably packed twice the amount of things on the list. We just cannot condense. We are not light packing people. I tried, really I did, but baby clothes are just too cute and I don't know what size she will be wearing. Honestly, the drugs they suggest we take amount to nothing less than an entire pharmacy. I don't know what the 3 of us could catch that could not be cured in a multitude of ways. It is just nuts.

Ha - Tracy I got one of you!! And it is a good one so don't complain.

Lots of packing.

Oh and I got a semi-impromptu shower at work yesterday which was nice. Courtney if you are reading this send me the pics you took so I can post them! Our next post will probably be made during travel. We are so so close!!
