Grace is growing!

I got new updates on Grace today!! I was so surprised. I didn't think I would get any new updates before I traveled, but I'm sure glad I did because I wanted to know her weight in order to take the right size clothes and diapers. She currently 11.03 pounds. She's a tiny one. So I packed 3-6 month size clothes and the smaller diapers. But I think she's the same weight Abby was when I brought her home. I also got this new picture. Isn't she a perfect little princess?
Today was a snow day and much needed! I was so busy catching up on life today. I spent about five hours working on school lesson plans for the next four weeks. I also spent quite a bit of time packing Grace's suitcase and the donation/gift/food suitcase. I got both of them done. Each suitcase has to weigh 50 pounds or less, and I made it! They are zipped shut and ready to go. I have the third suitcase open in my room and it's slowly collecting my personal items. There are only 9 more days until I can hold her in my arms.
Grace, I'm coming soon.
Lord, please hold her. never let her go.
