There it is. My suitcase is full of gloves!!! And I weighed the suitcase and it weighs exactly 50lbs :) Thank you to everyone that has helped me reach my goal. I have another bag full of sterile gloves still to pack but overall my goal was to fill a suitcase and thanks to all of my wonderful friends and family, I did just that. Thank you also to those friends who sent money and infant vitamin drops. The money will be used to buy more infant vitamin drops. Along with the gloves and 4 large cans of soy formula, I will be bringing about 26 boxes of infant vitamin drops.No news on buying plane tickets. We are waiting for Peanut to have her US Embassy physcial and once that is complete we will get definite travel plans. My specialist is extremely optimistic (her words) that we are traveling in the May 7th group so leaving the US on May 6th.
Her confidence spurred me to go to the basement and get the suitcases and then I packed the gloves. I haven't packed anything else yet but am just about ready to. Peanut's stuff is ready to go as in it is all laid out and just needs to be put in a suitcase.
I am hoping we hear soon about definite travel plans and then I will be more motivated to start packing other things. It was a big step for me to just get those suitcases out of the basement. I have been in a pretty bad mood but I figured I am traveling at some point so I will still have to pack eventually so why not start now.

Yay! Are those my open boxes of gloves? Sheesh! haha! I hope they accept them...
Ok, and I hope you are going to post a packing list for those of us who are right behind you!
Pack now, pack now, pack now! We're leaving on Monday and the end is frantic! At least pull out all of those warm weather clothes and make sure they are ready to be packed. Nice job with the gloves!
