Last night was a little different...when we started getting ready for bed, she started acting funny and when I laid her down, she started crying and was hysterical...her little heart was pounding out of her chest...we got her calmed down and she fell asleep and i put her in her bed. She slept until 4:30 and woke up crying again....we put her in bed with us and she slept til 7:30 but she has been pretty sad all morning. We skyped with Lucy and Alice started crying, then Lucy started crying--it hurt my heart for Lucy...she is starting to miss us I think and of course, we are missing Max and Lucy like crazy. Max seems to be doing fine. Skype sure has made things better. Breakfast cheered her up and we are headed to the playroom here at the hotel...then, to the doctor..should be a blast...keep us in your prayers...she is really attached to me...she screamed while i showered and when i went to the buffet at breakfast. I am so glad she is attaching but it is hard too-Charlie has been so patient....i will try to post later...love andhugs,
thanks for the update. been praying all day that she would sleep. sorry it was not as easy as the first night. I know you are not excited about the dr...but will be over soon. love you :)
ReplyDeleteI am praying for you... My heart goes out to you and Alice. What a scary time for her. I can just feel the love that you have for her. God has brought you to her and her to you.. He is so faitful. We are so excited for you and love you all. Lisa and Charles Blevins.
ReplyDeleteHey! Well, first of all she is absolutely adorable! Secondly, don't stress! She will go through some stuff these next few days, and who wouldn't? But it is REALLY great that she is attaching to you! Even if she does scream when you leave the room! Lily didn't even walk for the first 2 days, remember? And, she wouldn't have ANYTHING to do with John, and by the time we left China, she was FINE! Alice will get there, I promise! I can see the love you have for her- these pictures are just beautiful. I am so glad that she is finally in your arms and you can be the one to comfort her while she figures it all out. Love you!
ReplyDeleteBless her little heart. And all of yours as well. I know you will love her through her loss. And I pray that God will see you through it. You know He will! At least you are getting the dr. appt. over with early, and you will be done with it! Praying for you now!
ReplyDeleteJust said a prayer for all of you:) Thinking of all of you often!! Day and night...sending prayers your way. I have tryed to Skype with you last night and again tonight...keeps saying call failed. Skyped Shana last night...it worked...also worked with you Sunday night...not sure what's going on unless I just happen to be calling when your busy...anyway I'll keep trying...can't wait to see her!
ReplyDeleteWow! Again thank you for sharing your sweet moments with all of us back home. We love you and are praying for you. Can't wait to see her in person.
ReplyDeletePraying for a better night. . .and peace for all children. . .here and there.
ReplyDeleteAlice is so adorable! I love the pictures with Charlie. He is such a sweet big brother. You all are in my prayers. Hopefully, each day and night will get easier. Love you.
ReplyDeleteNight time is the hardest for most adopted children. YouYou would act perfectly happy during the day but when she realized it was bed time...the anxiety and tears would flow. This went on, even for several months once we got home. God will get you through this though...I never had as much patience with my other little ones when they cried at night as I did w/ her :) And that only came from Him! Praying for you dear...
