THREE WEEKS FROM TODAY!!!!!!!!!

WE LEAVE 3 WEEKS FROM TODAY!!!!!!! We received our TA yesterday! We leave Tues, Oct 9th at 12:15pm on NW and return Wed Oct 24th at 4:40pm. Everything is tentative right now of course until its all paid for! (which will be soon!) We should get Claire on Sunday, Oct 14th. I am beyond excited! They are telling us she is only 15 pounds which seems awful small to me! Of course I'm used to my children who were practially walking at the time of birth. I feel pretty good in terms of having everything we need to take with us. Now its just the task of making all arrangements for the boys. I was up half the night worrying about that but I'm sure it will all work out.
Thanks for the prayers everyone, they seem to have worked! Before we know it, we'll be back home w/the newest addition of the Meislahn family!!!!!!!
