By telling of it wasn't doing it justice. <br /><br />We laughed, but we were only kind of laughing. At least forewarned is forearmed.

You are right, though...nothing can prepare you for the flight home with your new child. Becky was an angel but wouldn't sleep for 30 straight hours! Lily screamed her head off so loudly and for so long that the man in front of us was literally pulling at his hair. I'm with you on the the bulkhead, too. I've been giving that advice to friends for 18 years! That extra room is so worth it.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976421664487561840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953430069221343164.post-55816443864541412452010-04-06T12:45:35.997-04:002010-04-06T12:45:35.997-04:00I feel your pain.

She still had yicky orphanage parasites and vomited/pooed on me too many times to count on the way home. I ended up buying a couple of new t-shirts at every stop because I knew they would all be totally disgusting by the time we landed in Kansas City. ;-)Wyndeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08114016535683459963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953430069221343164.post-2926039197351524082010-04-06T11:22:59.867-04:002010-04-06T11:22:59.867-04:00Everyone worries about the flight to the destinati...Everyone worries about the flight to the destination country. However, you are dead on regarding the way home. This is the roughest part. Not only because of the duration of the flight but because you are a new family, your child is experiencing air travel for the first time and airplane food. Your diaper story happend to me on the way back from China with our son. Our new daughter is an easy child but even given that fact the flight was a nightmare. <br /><br />Congratulations again on button, he is adorable. You will see when you make those trips back and they are not adoption related how much smoother it feels.Yolihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06068063513978782703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953430069221343164.post-82445186173300879562010-04-05T22:10:50.621-04:002010-04-05T22:10:50.621-04:00Ohh dear, well I guess this will make me appreciat...Ohh dear, well I guess this will make me appreciate a quiet flight out since the ride home may be a tad different.

She slept most of the way but I worried constantly that she'd wake up and start screaming like she did on our first in-country flight. It didn't help that I was a new mom, couldn't sleep a wink on the flight, and was exhausted after 2 weeks in China. But we got through it. And doesn't it feel amazing to have your child home?!Sheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13286492947329986820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953430069221343164.post-6236837542320877242010-04-02T02:57:56.953-04:002010-04-02T02:57:56.953-04:00These pictures are wonderful.

I think both are hard but like you say, when you want to be a family, when you want to be a mother or a father, you will rise to the challenge AND succeed.
