Home Sweet Home

It's sooooo good to be home...and sleep in my bed...and have Emily here! Emily loves her little sister. She kisses her and tells her she loves her all the time. I get dead tired at 4pm, like I've been at an all night party (too old for that, I guess!). Cassidy's been waking up a couple times a night, the worst being at 4:30am with the intention of staying up so she's been coming to bed with me then and will then sleep until 8:30.

Cassidy fusses in her sleep for about an hour before she wakes up. I heard Emily say, "Cassidy, would you be more quiet, please?" in the middle of the night lol She was personalizing her crying but has learned not to. She also sets up her sleeping bag in the living room in case Cassy is fussing too much and is keeping her awake.

I have no idea how we're going to get Emily to school on time! Maybe I'll get up at 4:30 lol All of our friends are very excited for us and have been thrilled to finally meet Cassidy. Today I broke down and took a nap--naps are underrated.

We got the VIP treatment all the way home--before we left China, they found an error with our Japan to Detroit flight and tried to fix that for about 45 minutes (when I originally booked the flights, NWA had Cassidy on the flight to Japan; they caught it before we left but then forgot to add Cassidy back on the flight home) "We'll try to get it fixed so you can make this flight." Oh no! I wasn't missing that flight because then I'd miss two connecting flights!! So a supervisor put our carryons on a cart and whizzed us through a VIP line and pushed the cart all the way onto the plane. Then when we landed in Detroit and had to go through Immigration, we had probably several hundred people in front of us, this short woman came up to us, "This line isn't good for baby. Come with me" and she made a line just for us! Lastly, getting our heavy luggage, I asked a young guy if he'd mind getting it off the conveyor. I should play this baby card more often lol

I'm not able to upload photos at this time. Check back later. All in all, because I wasn't alone, I was able to enjoy this trip, and Cassidy, much more than I did my first trip with Emily. Check back for pix.
