HOME!!!!!!!

A week and a half after returning home, I'm just now finding time to blog about it! Whew - it's been a tiring time. I developed strep throat on the 24 hour travel time, which only got worse as the time went on. Not fun! Poor Wes stepped it up though and took care of Roman most of the trip. I felt terrible, but I literally could hardly move. I took all the Advil I had, and Wes bought me more when we were stateside in NY. He literally had two crying babies to take care of on the flights home, me and Roman.

Roman did NOT sleep but about an hour and a half on the first 9.5 hour flight. He stayed awake during our entire layover in NY (about 4 hours I think), but he did finally sleep in our flight from NY to Memphis. Poor Wes - he did an amazing job though!!!! What a wonderful Daddy and Husband!!! I couldn't have done it without him. At one point I was sobbing in his lap telling him I wasn't going to make it - obviously I did! But, the most important thing is that Roman did TOO!! YAY!!!

Everything went smoothly in NY going through immigration, and we ended up getting home around 10:30 p.m. Memphis time on Sat. night, May 1st. We went to my parent's house that night, and Roman slept all night.

Since we've been home, he has done amazingly well! He's been eating and sleeping great. We've had a few ups and downs. At first he didn't like to lose sight of me for a second. Now, I would say it's been extended to at least a few minutes :) Kate and Roman have been working things our as new brother and sister. We've had our moments, but I can't complain there at all. Kate has been awesome, and she's going to be a great big sister!

Life has been hectic adjusting to two (as expected), but we've already made a trip to Target and Dada's shop. We've been blessed to have meals brought to us by our community group which has been a life saver! I've been so out of it from being sick, jet lag and having a little bug this week as well. I'm ready to feel "normal" and myself again, so I can enjoy the kids together! Maybe with 2 I'll never fell that way - ha!

We are truly blessed by our Lord, and He worked many miracles to bring this little guy home. We are now a family of four :)
