Only 14 days and I will be on the plane back to the babies. I have kept so busy, but always in the back of my mind is the thought: it is this time in Romania right now (look at your clock and add 8 hours). I have kept the kids in my thoughts every day since I met them on the first day I was there last year. Now I have the happy anticipation of knowing I am going back there again! I get to hug "my babies" again. I only have 7 more shifts and then I will be going. I have already started to pack and try to think of everything I need to bring with me. But the most important "thing" I will be bring is my love. I cannot wait to come into the clinic and see the happy looks on the kids faces knowing we are going to rescue them from their cribs. And I am excited to be able to help participate in the evening routines. The worst part about last year was leaving the kids in their cribs when we left each day knowing it was going to be a long time before we got back there again. We also will be staying closer to the clinic this year so it will be easier to visit the kids on the weekend- I think I will be staying behind on one of the weekends- as much as I love to see the world- if I have already been to where the group is going I would rather save the money and just love the kids a couple extra days.
