we’re home!

Sorry for not posting sooner.  We got home early Saturday night but have been having a really tough time with the time change and jet lag.  The clock in Sadie’s head thinks it day when it’s night and vice versa.  The last few nights she’s gone to sleep at 8:30am, 6:30am and 3:00am.  So basically [...]

we’re all fine….

I’m sorry if my absence has worried anyone.  We are fine.  Sadie is amazing!  However, she is officially walking and is constantly on the move.  That means I’m always keeping watch on a small person who can get into anything and likes to put everything in her mouth.  As soon as I finally get her [...]

the real sadie is shining through

Sadie woke up at 9am this morning.  She slept for 12 hours!  I got her changed and dressed and fed her a bottle.  Then it was play time.  Let me tell you this girl knows how to play.  She was smiling and laughing and exploring all of the toys.  I thought she’d go down for [...]

more getting to know each other…

So, several hours have passed since my last post and I wanted to document the rest of our day.  Everyone is asleep and I’m exhausted so this will be quick. 
Sadie finally woke up and after holding her for a while I really wanted to try to get her to play a little.  Until now, [...]

getting to know each other

Sorry about missing a day.  Motherhood is exhausting!  Sadie (and grandma and grandpa) are napping so I’ll try to catch you up.  First, how cute is Sadie sleeping!?

So where did I leave off?  Oh, that’s right.  The first night, Sadie fell asleep at 5pm and ended up sleeping until we woke her at 5am.  She [...]

best day ever!

What a day!  I went to sleep at 8:30pm last night and requested a 6:30am wake up call.  Around 5am, I woke up and just tossed and turned until 6:30am.  I jumped out of bed when the phone rang and got in the shower.  Around 7:30am we went downstairs for breakfast.  I have to take [...]

we’re here!

Nearly 24 hours after leaving my apartment on Saturday night, we have made it to Ho Chi Minh City and have settled into our rooms.  The local time here is 1:45pm on Monday, July 7th.  For us, it is 11:45pm, Sunday night.  Weird. 
When we got to LAX, it was packed.  I mean people everywhere.  [...]

oh boy…this is really happening!

Well, I leave for the airport in about an hour and a half.  OMG!  I feel like I have elephants in my stomach.  And a short time ago, I just started crying for no obvious reason.  Now I can’t stop.  I think the reality of what is FINALLY about to happen just hit me.  I [...]

no more work for me…for now

Well, I did it.  I worked my last day until September 29th.  It was hard as hell to get out of the office today, but I did it.  Granted I went in at 7am, since I woke up at 5am and couldn’t go back to sleep, then I stayed until 5:45pm.  Long day…with no break, [...]
