We are finally home. It has been a rough couple of days. On the 10 hour flight from Beijing to Seattle, Darci slept only 2 hours and was irritable most of the other 8 hours. The rest of the flights (Seattle to Atlanta and Atlanta to Nashville), Darci slept-thank goodness!!! We were greeted on arrival by several friends (Tanya and Faith, Sharon, Tracy, Kristen Denmon, and Kristen Riley, Sarah and the boys). Darci was a little overwhelmed and a little scared-how many changes she has gone through in her little life!!! But she warmed up quickly and by the evening was having a good laugh with her new friends. The first night was a rough one as we both were confused on what time it is (the so called jet lag). Darci cried for about 4 hours that night but the next day (after a 4 hour morning nap!!) she was having a great time with Sharon and Tracy (I was taking a much needed nap!!). Last night was a little better and I think each night will get a little better as we adjust to the time change. As this is my last blog-I really do appreciate everyone’s support and kind words. When I was struggling in China it was great to read encouraging words from home. This blog and the replies will also be a great treasure to Darci when she is older, as it not only records her adoption story but also the great family and friends that care about her deeply.
