Welcome Home Kaylee

Just wanted to do a quick post to let everyone know that after approximately 29 hours of travel time we arrived home safely!!! We left our hotel room in China at 6:00 am local time on Thursday (April 15) and after traveling all day and all night and going through security checks at 3 different airports we finally arrived in Louisville 9:00 pm local time and guess what?? it was still Thursday April 15. The longest tax day of my life. I guess we really did gain back the day we lost when we traveled to China. The mission now is to figure out how to flip flop Kaylee's schedule. China time is 13 hours ahead of our time in Kentucky so when it is night here, it is daytime in China. Right now Kaylee seems a little overwhelmed with her new home. Keep in mind, that for the last week and half we have been living in small hotel rooms, but now she has a larger space to get use to. Therefore, today we have just been letting her sleep when she wanted to, but in the next day or so we will have to start slowly trying to get her on a more regular schedule. Of course, I don't even know where to start with this, but like everything else I am sure we will figure it out. Or at the very worse, we will just spend the rest of our lives sleeping during the day and being up all night. I was up most of last night with her, but I feel very fortunate to have a wonderful husband and mother in law who entertained Kaylee most of this afternoon and evening so that I could get some much needed sleep. I must say I feel so much better than I did earlier. I can actually somewhat concentrate and speak in complete sentences. It is now 11:30 pm and Kaylee is sleeping, but I have an idea that the sleeping will only last a few more hours and then she will be ready for another all nighter, but I am re-engergized now so I will be ready for her-- maybe.

  2. Welcome Home Kaylee!! How long are you going to stay with Kay? Or are you already back home in Henderson? Good luck with getting those days and nights corrected! Cooper had that problem as a newborn and we had to just absolutely force him to stay awake during the day so that he would sleep at night! It's harder than it sounds to keep a baby awake, but Kaylee is older, so maybe it'll be easier for you!
