Home


So many things to write before I forget, but too tired. Gavin is doing much better and graces us with lots of smiles. Tristan is still not embracing the big brother title yet but I know it will get better.

Tears

The first 2 days there was nothing but crying. Tristan even watched his dvds with headphones on to hear over the wailing. I really didn't think babies could cry uninterrupted for so long. When he slept he looked quite peaceful.

We were considering changing our tickets to a nonstop flight on Saturday, worried that the stress may just be too much on Gavin (and the other passengers). But then this happened...

and this..

So we decided to leave things as planned and head home. It was a nail-biting stomach-churning white-knuckle ride right to the end including an almost missed flight, last minute paperwork delivery in the middle of the airport with documents 'we could not leave the country' without, but we made it through.

For now, we will try to catch up on some much needed sleep, get organized and find a way to make both boys happy to be home.
