13 hours difference...
It couldn't be 2, 4, 6 or 8 hours difference between China and Louisiana. It had to be 13. Just swap the AM and PM. That's a pretty tall mountain to climb with a 13.5 month old.
The plan of letting her cry herself to sleep in order to learn to calm herself down isn't working because she's just not sleepy. The struggle is keeping her awake during the day, cranky and tired. She was up at 11pm last night until 4am this morning. We got her up at 10:30am, because we are sick and was tired from the traveling. Oh yeah, we have to adjust to the time difference too. We let her have 2 quick naps today. A 45 minute and 35 minute nap. She's up again at 12:30am this morning.
We're up too, we slept alot today, trying to get over our colds and congested heads. We'll try to get up earlier tomorrow morning and go to church and visit. It may be a challenge for the next couple of days.
We have an appointment with Dr. Ashli West Monday. We're excited Ashli gets to meet Jada and begin our medical care for her. We have a feeling we will be moving on to big girl food soon. We let her have my dad's Jambalaya today and she loved it, it was slammin'.
She met all the neighbors today. One of the little girls made a cute card for Jada. I think she's 8 or 9 yrs old. It was sweet. OK. More later.

I have been through this my brother. Have faith, Olivia's waking up from 1-4am every night only lasted about 5 nights. Glad you guys are home. Congrats!!!

thought about that time adjustment thing :-) just think of it this way- you are making up for the sleep schedule everyone newborn has -you're just getting it a little later in Jada's life - so you're getting to experience a variety of things in parenthood already; yea, with her being sick and then y'all getting sick, and the trip home and now sleep adjustment, you've already overcome alot! Enjoy! and rest assured you will get settled in a routine soon. :-)
