Air freight

The air freight shipment is our best chance to have our personal things get to us right away that are either too large or bulky to fit in our suitcases or that we just don't need in the next two weeks, but want to have with us when we get there. Our hope is that by having this shipment picked up this week, that it will get to us very shortly after we arrive in England. (if not beat us there --that would be even better!). So as I walked through the house thinking about what to put in this shipment, I am hoping my logic is working. I went through closets and pulled out clothes (leaving enough here for the next two weeks). I put in blankets, stuffed animals...not the most precious stuffed animals that need to be with us, but some comfort ones for beds, shoes and extra coats, towels and sheets for each bedroom. Also, I put in some personal items like diapers, baby wipes, potty seats (we are starting to get there with the little one), her booster seat, etc. We only get up to 500 pounds, so anything not deemed important or necessary needs to wait for the sea freight (unless it has been designated for a suitcase). I hope I don't forget anything because once they pick this up, if I find something else, it either needs to be able to fit into one of our suitcases, or we will need to wait 6-8 weeks for it. No pressure or anything!
