We are home!

We arrived home on Saturday morning, it was all a blur. The flights went really well and we had bulk head seating with a bassinet on the long flight from Taipei to Seattle. We got stuck in immigration in Seattle with 1 slow poke processing paperwork and almost missed our plan home to Atl, but we made it. We had a 7 hour layover in Taipei and for anyone going, I strongly suggest looking for the Hello Kitty nursery rooms. My sister and I camped out in the nursery for the majority of our layover. The room consisted of 2 changing stations, sink, free diapers, purified water system, 2 couches, nursing station with couch and lots of Chinese people obsessed with Hello Kitty peeking into the room. It was great and we took over the room and relaxed and spread out. I guess they are not familiar with nurseries as several people came in just to take pictures.
We went to the pediatrician today and like we suspected, Christopher has an ear infection. I also went to the doctor today and was diagnosed with an ear infection too. We are both on antibiotics for 10 days. Christopher has also broken out with some severe exema on his face and we got some steroid cream for his face. He has not been sleeping well and is back to the every other hour of waking up during the night. We are reliving the early Vietnam days but thank God we are home. He is currently on the couch and has been in a sleeping coma for the last 8 hours getting some much needed sleep. He just doesn't feel good and has been through sooo much. Even sick, he has the best personality and is so sweet and giving smiles. More pictures coming soon. The house is a wreck and we don't know if we are coming or going. The good news is he gained a pound and weighed in a 15 lbs!

I visited your blog after seeing it linked on Nic's page, I know you were in Vietnam together and hope you all had a wonderful time. Your son is beautiful, and I hope your adjusting to home is getting easier with each passing day.
