Crib!




So wonderful to get a crib in the room today and also so odd. We have waited so long for this day and to have it upon us feels so strange. We are gathering our baby supplies & orphanage items for the trip tomorrow morning. We are leaving at 5:30 am and will probably be back some time in the afternoon. I am going to try to take lots of pics and video and hopefully the jet lag will be gone by then. Today we bought some formula & wash cloths. We walked to a big indoor mall and didn't buy a thing. It is cheaper on the streets. We have actually not done much shopping at all yet - this jet lag thing is hard. We are off to shop and have some dinner. We had breakfast in the hotel this morning, it was pretty good. But I think something made me sick from it - could it be the fried spring rolls? Everything else I had was western (eggs). We had lunch at Little Hanoi today and it was very good. They have mostly a western menu with a few VN items. Dean had a cheeseburger and I had some spagetti Pomadora. We will be going back. It was filled with tourists, which is a good sign for the tummy.
Tomorrow is Christopher DAY!!!! We are so happy!
