We made it! It was a brutal day(s) of travel–left the White Swan at 7:30AM and arrived at home at about 11:00PM…about 28 hours of travel door to door. Lydia was great on the first flight from Guangzhou to Beijing. And, she really did quite well on the flight from Beijing to Newark. Having the bulkhead seat with the bassinet was a HUGE blessing (as well as the fact that Mark got the seat with me). Anyone who is traveling with a child under 2 NEEDS to get those seats. Lydia slept on and off as did we. But, she cried very little. But, when we were only 15 minutes from landing (after I had changed her into a cute coming home outfit, mind you), she got airsick and threw up multiple times all over herself and us and our diaper bag. Nice. So, she was not too happy and neither were we (or the surrounding passengers). As soon as we got off, we called my mom to tell her we had landed (there was a whole entourage waiting for us). She then informed us that Ashlyn was sick and had thrown up twice at the airport. Nice. Welcome home to us, huh? She was a real trooper though and still was very happy to see us and Lydia and sat nicely while we grabbed a quick bite of dinner with the whole fam. It was great to be reunited with the kiddos–brought tears to both of our eyes. They are just in love with Lydia. Evan said last night, “If I were doing this, I’d pick her too.” Drew said, “I wouldn’t. I’d want a boy.” He’s a kick. He loves his baby sister though. She wasn’t ready to go to bed until after 2AM and then was awake again by 5AM (this was her “afternoon nap”….ugh). Even though the other three went to bed super late, they were up between 6:30 and 7 ready to give her tours of the house and show her every toy she could play with. Poor thing is probably way over stimulated. She did really well today though and was asleep tonight by 8PM. If she sleeps through the night, I may sing the Hallelujah chorus tomorrow morning.
