So, I'm packing (or repacking) my carry-on bag today. Since I already sent one bag to China with Rob last week, I put everything else in my carry-on. I knew I wouldn't remember what I sent ahead, so I had to see everything I needed. I didn't think to take pictures. And yes, I have forgotten what I packed in that bag. I vaguely remember packing all of the gifts, warm clothes and swim suits for GZ and clothes for Ethan. I packed a diaper bag and meds for every ailment any child has ever had just in case.
Here's what I know I have in my carry-on bag:
1 warm change of clothes for Jan
1 pair of socks
sweatsuit and light pjs for Jan
a bathing suit coverup to double as a robe
underwear for Jan--Yes, I put it in a ziplock bag so that an unknown person in customs won't touch them
meds and vitamins
makeup and toiletries
kleenex
snacks--hopefully enough until we get to GZ. There is plenty of western food for Jackson in GZ.
disposable bibs
diapers
2 outfits for Ethan
pjs for Ethan
socks for Ethan
1 warm change of clothes for Jackson
underwear for Jackson
socks for Jackson
blanket--the special knitted one from Blacksburg that all of my babies have loved
IMPORTANT adoption papers
passports
gum
toys
raincoats--light hiking ones
Dickens novels for the airplane IF Jackson sleeps and I get to read
red envelopes
Dramamine--I'm no supermom
I can't forget the camera!!
Look at these sweet shirts I bought for the younger brothers. One says Big brother. The other says Little brother. I can't wait for that picture.
Oh, the cat isn't going with us. She just jumped in the suitcase because I was most interested in it. She's always on top of the kid's homework, my quilting or whatever seems most important. :) LOL
