Carli Comes Home!

Last night was our first night with Carli. She did very well. She woke us up every few hours to eat, right on schedule. Amazing that babies can tell time...almost to the minute! Both Joe and I were exhausted after not sleeping much and then having to get up early to get ready for our flight. We had to leave the hotel about 5:30 in order to get to Phoenix, turn in the car, and get to the airport for our flight.



We had no trouble with Carli boarding. We were worried because we had no birth certificate, but they didn't even ask for one. They only asked how old she was. We were lucky in that the flight was not full so we were able to take her carseat on board with us. (Thanks Margaret for the idea.) We waited until we were taking off to give her the bottle to help her ears with the air pressure. After that it was burping and changing. She then slept all the way to Nashville. Joe and I were the ones nervous. I have never had panic attacks flying before, but this time I had one. I guess I was worried that something would happen with Carli. We sat on the plane in Nashville for about 30 minutes before it was boarded again and we took off for Raleigh. It took less than an hour to get back to good old NC! Daddy, Cheryl and Austin were waiting for us when we arrived. It sure was good to see them all.


When we got home, Grandma and PaPa were waiting for us. Balloons had been tied to the mailbox and were inside. Everyone couldn't wait to get their hands on Carli. Later the rest of the Laws family came by for a visit and brought dinner. The Heath's also popped in. It was good to be home with our little girl and her big brother!!!
