Day 13

We made it!!! It is now 10:10pm here and we have been up since 4:00 am yesterday morning. Most of those hours in between were spent in the air. We took a 4 hour flight from Guanzhou to Tokyo, in Japan. There, Myah decided to unload her diaper and made a huge mess. I had to throw her clothes away! There was a nursery in the airport that had a table and a big sink, I had to rinse her off in the sink, Mark a I looked around for a towel and there wasn't even a tissue square, so we grabbed the shower curtain that they had and dried her off on that! We then took an 11 hour flight from Tokyo to Detroit. Myah was perfect and slept almost the whole time. The Bonner's were on our final flight so we got to see Baby Claire one last time. LONG flight! When we arrived we went through customs and Myah became a US citizen right there! We had all of our luggage! We then walked through some doors and there was our family and the Voight family waiting for us with big signs and tshirts made by the Dolans with Myah's pics all over it. What a great sight. We then came into our neighborhood and saw the house decorated and many of our friends and family on our front lawn. I will never forget that sight. Myah did fine with everyone, still clingy to daddy though. I developed really bad stomach pains and have been out of it since we got home. I went a laid down and woke up to everyone gone, Myah in her bed and darkness. I started to cry (crying again), I missed everything that I have been waiting to do for so long. I walked outside and just enjoyed the clean air, my flowers, and just being home. Everyone was so generous and I could hardly stand to open gifts. I hope it is just nerves and not a virus like so many of us had in China. I thought I was out of harms way. We'll see. Myah went right down in her crib Mark said. I peaked in on her and she looks so perfect in there. Mark covered her up with a blanket that Robin and her little girl made for us with ladybugs on it, lucky ladybugs...... I just want to say how happy I am to be home, surrounded by our loved ones. My perspective on life has changed so much in 2 weeks. These 12 little girls have entered into all of our hearts and I pray that as each of them walks into their forever homes tonight that they will always be proud of their native country, but never forget how loved you are here. I miss all of them already, I feel like we are all one big family of sorts, the Tuanfeng and Nanchang babies. Thank you so much for all of you support and loving gestures, life begins for Myah now and we hope that you are all a part of her life as well. God bless you all!
