Our Adoption Story
We decided to take a short trip, about 4 mins worth, down adoption memory lane and put together a little montage of some of our activity these past two years. it really has been worth it, even with waking up and having to sleep on the floor. turn up the sound.

ramblings of a tired mom
So just a recap. The flight home was 20 hrs in the air. Lucy only slept a total of three hours and not all at once. I had a slight meltdown on hour 14 I think. I think I have been scanned through so many Xrays that I glow at night. Once we arrived in Detroit and literally ran to catch our flight home, we got a boost of energy, we were almost home.
The airport arrival was a blur and just awesome. So many friends and family came to greet us and get a sneak peak of the newest little one in the family. My aunt jeanie and cousin shannon actually drove almost 3 hrs to be there!!! what a suprise. ( i always spell this word wrong)
Sleeping has been our biggest thing. Jet lag has hit me pretty hard. The other thing is Lucy is not taking to her nice soft luxurious crib. She is used to a board and bamboo of sorts, so she will sleep on the hardwood floors for a few hours and then we have to move her into our bed. I will wake up ever couple of hours worried that i am squishing her and hoping she is not going to fall off the bed.
Naptime, she only wants me to hold her. 2 hrs in the middle of the day is a long time with a sweaty little baby. John is actually trying right now to see if she will go down on her floor for a nap. (he has been in there a while )
She is saying mama which is cool. I really do not know why she likes me so much. I feel like I am boring her most of the time. I am still so tired to carry on a one sided conversation for too long.
Her appt with surgeon is this friday. I just want to know what to expect. Her palate is wide open so it will be extensive surgery. I wonder how soon they would do it! poor little baby. She hates doctors more than her parents do.
John just went to the store and bought me yogurt and pudding and ice cream. I want all three right now. what a guy. Lucy loves him so much. I kinda miss him though. We are together all day but seem to not spend any time together. I just want to watch a movie with him and eat nachos.
Lucy is not a super fan of the outdoors. It is all so new to her. It must feel so big to her.
Ok gonna go get some ice cream now.
See ya.
