Initial Preparation and an Update

Eileen is downstairs filling out the first set of paperwork - only 1 person per family - there is only one father - all the rest are the moms - the other spouses go down at 1540 followed by the rest of the crew - kids, travel companions after 1600 - the babies are supposed to arrive by 1530. Some of the babies have traveled for up to 10 hours to get here today so they have been traveling about the same amount that we have - I am exhausted - Eileen is exhausted - I can't imagine what the babies are going through. Everyone is nervous. After waiting for 2.5 years and putting together the paperwork and double and triple checking over and over you still get worried thinking you have forgotten something. It is very surreal. Oh yeah, we received an update on Emma that says she is crawling which came as a surprise to us. Another family had similar news and they were surprised. The report said she was active, social and enjoyed going to the gorcery store which didn't quite make sense but I am sure we will find out soon. The report also said that she had only had one cold, sleeps all night but might take a bottle around 0130 before falling back to sleep. The report also said they explained to Emma that she was going to a nice family today. More to follow ...
