We are home! We got home yesterday afternoon and I could hardly stand up straight! :) I had some sort of vertigo from the 15 hour flight. We were up for over 40 hours with the layovers, the flight, and the time changes. Micah did remarkably well I think for only having been with us for 5 days and then all the plane rides. David and I spent most of the flight standing up and rocking him so that he would sleep. He did not get sick or anything, but was very tired and whiny. Considering it was 1:00 a.m. by the time we got on the plane for America, who can blame him? We did get the bulkhead seat with the bassinet and although he only slept in the bassinet twice for about 30 min a piece, it was worth it just for the break and the leg room and space to stand.
It was so great to get home and see our kids! We had to wake Micah up to see everyone at the airport, so he was very solemn, but warmed up to the kids right away. We went through the driveway at Chick-fil-a and then straight home! Micah and I were so exhausted, we went to bed at 6:00 p.m. last night and woke up this morning at 6:30! He only woke up once during the night around 2:30 but went right back to sleep.
We are so, so grateful we cannot express! Thank you for everyone's prayers! My friend Ruth has already put together a slide show of pics with a video of our homecoming, so I am going to try to post it on my blog later today for everyone to see. Stay tuned...
