Doug and I have officially decided on a name for our sugarplum! Are you ready for this?! Her name will be:
Kailahni Xiugang Elizabeth Schneider
As my Pop-Pop would have said, "That's one long call sign!" And he'd be right. It is!
Along with "re-naming" our child, the last week and a half have been busy. The packing is under way...kind of, sort of...not really. I've basically been organizing myself so I can shop and pack, but I haven't really done either. I still have plenty of time for that, so I'm not too worried. (Yeah right..wink, wink)
The boys and I are heading up to Flagstaff on Monday to relax in the tall pines with our family and friends. I'm really looking forward to that! Once we return home, I'm going to have to get really serious about preparing to leave. I think the "time crunch" will be good for me. Right now I feel a little bit like a chicken with my head cut off. But, soon, all will fall into place and we will find ourselves boarding the plane. YEAH!!
Our baby girl turned 10 months old today! Thoughts of her are completely filling my mind today. I've stared at her photos a million times and tried to imagine how she may have changed since they were taken. I can't wait for the moment when I actually get to lay my eyes of her! To think that, that moment is not far off, just thrills me. EXCITING!!!

Oh Mary..... you are so close. Happy Birthday baby girl... your Mommy is coming soon. :)
You will get it all done!!! I know you will. In the mean time, have a great time relaxing with your family!
Sheesh. I just realized that I wrote "Happy Birthday"... I meant "happy 10 months". We were on the way to a friend's birthday party and I had that in my head... what a dork I am!
Thanks for the links... that first one is a major tear jerker.... Drew couldn't sit through the whole thing. Too emotional. Awww.
ticket, visa...you are good to go! Have fun cooling off in the pines. I am jealous! Terri

What a beautiful name Mary! Just beautiful!
Hope you guys are enjoying time with the family and your friends. Next stop China! We are so excited for you guys!
I am so glad the name is public now. I love the sugarplum nickname but I am excited to get to use her name now! Im ready to shop & help pack!
Love the name, too, Mary! We're so excited for you to hold her in just a few weeks now...
Love, Cecilia
Her name is beautiful Mary, I am just so excited for you! This is all so wonderful and I can only imagine what you might be feeling.
I remember packing my bag for the hospital in preparation for Anthony's birth and it felt so weird to also be packing BABY CLOTHES in my bag! Must be sort of the same thing for packing for your trip to China!
Margaret
Does this mean that you wont be erasing my posts if I accidentally let the name slip anymore. Yeah, she is now (semi-officially) a Schneider!
