Getting packed

We've been trying to get packed.  Anything that is going to China goes into Chloe's crib.  All this stuff is just stuff not even clothes.  When we fly in China we are allowed one checked bag to 44 pounds, one carry on and one personal item per person.  I sure hope it all fits!  Good thing Caleb's and Chloe's clothes are small.  I made a Walmart run today and seemed to buy everything because I could not make up my mind what to get.  I don't think it will all go but, I got things just in case. 

I sure have been stressed out these past few days.  I don't remember these kind of feelings before Caleb.  But then again this is a completely different experience.  I've been stressed about the trip.  I'm worried about what Caleb is going to eat in China.  He is such a picky eater.  I bought a bunch of snacks today at Walmart.  The good part about packing those is it won't come home and then I can have room for souvenirs.  I've been worried about Chloe on Gotcha Day.  We have been trying to prepare Caleb for that day.  Explaining to him that to her we look different, smell different, talk funny, eat funny foods and we are going to want to be in her personal space.  And she will be taken away from the nannies that have been caring for her for the last year and a half.  This wonderful day for us may be very traumatic for her.  I worry about traveling in China, but feel thankful that they have guides to help us while we are there.  I worry about entertaining 2 kids for 2 weeks in a hotel.  And most of all, I worry about the transition when we get back home.  All of this worry makes me think about the passage in the Bible in Matthew 6:25-34, that tells me not to worry!  Not doing such a good job with that.
