Flight Home

Wow. I don't think that I could have flown home without Nate with me. Wow.

We make the four hour drive to Rio and take one more look at our new apartment. Then we stopped by a friends house to say hi and take a short break before heading to the airport. We arrive and checkin without any complications. In fact I made it through security with- my shoes on, milk in a bottle in my bag and my laptop all concealed in my carry on. Love Brazilian security. Love.

She took a small cat nap in the moby wrap but woke up immediately when we got on the plane. I could see all the other passengers looking at us praying that she wouldn't cry the whole flight. Trust me. I was praying too!!

She stayed awake for a long time and I thought she would be up the whole flight. She finally fell asleep when I fed her and I just held her for the next three hours until it was time to feed again. Then after that feed I placed her in the car seat which was positioned between Nate and I on the plane. She sleep until we landed and life was good. Then we managed to catch the early flight to Tulsa and that's when the tired set in for Belle. She had enough but the crying didn't begin until after we landed- Thank you!!

She spent the rest of the day catching up on sleep and eating a ton. Not to mention TEETHING. She started to teethe (is that a word?) on the flight home. The bottom gums are swollen and she won't stop eating her hands and anything you place near her. The drool is a constant flow these days but it doesn't seem to bother her that much.

All I have to say is thank goodness the flight is over and we don't have to make it again until January.

Deep Breath we are home!!

Tchau,
Sara
