We are back in the UK after a wonderful trip home to the US to see family.
It's great to see family and watch Frostina interact with her family. But the coming home part sucks ass.
We are back to a land where it is 8 hours ahead,,,, after an almost 11 hour flight,,, with a 14 month old,,,,,,,
The plane ride was not so nice.
Our first night home was even worse.
Frostina went down at her normal 7pm bed time. Then she was up at 1am. Somehow thinking her bed time was just a nap.
So I was up with her from 1am until 4:30am until she finally went back to bed.
It's currently 9:45pm on day two.
Please let her sleep through the night!
Jet lag is a bitch!
Dealing with the loss of a child is never easy, but it's even more difficult when you are an expat living far from home. Life will never be "normal" again and so now the challenge is to find my new normal. I am now back in the USA and the proud parent of two daughters, born using two different egg donors. "Frostina" and "Olea" are the loves of my life and I feel so grateful for the amazing women who donated their eggs and made my family possible.
Yes, she is. Jet lag is a dirty evil bitch
ReplyDeleteJust stopping by to say hello, I've not stopped by your blog for ages but saw your badge on another site and it reminded me to come by. I hope the jet lag passes soon and you can all get some quality sleep. Mich x
ReplyDeleteCan totally commiserate. We live in Vancouver and did the reverse trip back to the UK to see family there. Waking up at 1 am in a hotel room outside London when you know nothing will be open for at least 6 hours and when you know you have to keep the kids quiet for the next 6 hours so that they don't disturb the people in the rooms next to you is a total bummer!
