Packing

In 2 days, we'll be on our way to Beijing. In 1 week, we'll actually have our baby. Wow!
We started packing today. Real packing. Not just throwing things into a pile in the middle of Leila's floor, like we've been doing for the past 2 weeks. I gotta say though - it's a little hard. It's been 11 years since I've packed for a baby. And I always knew the one I packed for then. Packing for one you've never seen or met is a different story. 5 people - 2 1/2 weeks - a foreign country. Never done those things before either.
Here's the other thing. On the international flights, we're each allowed 2 pieces of luggage, and each one can weigh up to 50 lbs. No problem. BUT, we have an in-country flight too (from Beijing to Guangzhou). On that flight - although we can each have 2 pieces of luggage, we're only allowed 44 lbs total per person. Leila doesn't count either, so although we have all of her stuff (diapers, bottles, formula, clothes), she isn't allowed a suitcase or more importantly - 44 lbs. Just the suitcases weigh 5-10 lbs.
I put things in. Then I weigh them. Then I rearrange things. And I weigh them again.
I don't mean to whine. I truly don't. But I'm not really enjoying this part of the trip.
