The first few days

We arrived home at 1:30 am on 8-30-08. We were exhausted.

I'm sure Drew was scared and curious by his new surroundings. He was fine as long as we were playing with him but cried when we tried to get him to sleep. He and I played peek-a-boo on his bed at 3 am. He cried a lot and I called Laurie for advice. I really needed my mom. I missed her so much during those first days. He finally went to sleep at 8:30 in the morning which for him was 10:30 at night in Korea! He slept till 1:30 and then woke up for a few hours before napping on the love seat. Laurie (aka Nuna) and Katy (aka KiKi) came over about 5:30 to see him. He did well but kept wanting to hug and touch me (which I loved...he trusted and wanted ME!). Then we were up again till 8:30 the next morning! Being up all night is rough! I am not as young as I used to be.

We held him, rocked him, pushed him in his stroller and took turns laying down. Whew...it was rough. But so worth it!!!! That was our first weekend as a family of three. Which leads us to...
