It has been a tough week, but we are so glad to be home. My parents left last Friday morning. It was too soon as far as I'm concerned! But, they had already been away from home for three weeks and were homesick like we were so we grudgingly let them leave. I miss them so much! I felt like we didn't get to see them enough....because we didn't! Of course, they were here to take care of Jack, which they did wonderfully.
Eme seems to be doing better every day - too bad we are going to mess that up when we start the doctor's appointments this Friday. Poor girl! We are meeting with the International Adoption Clinic on Friday followed by the Cleft Team next Tuesday. I'm anxious to hear what they say about Eme's cleft palate - whether they suggest having surgery soon or waiting a couple of months. I really want her to have every opportunity for her speech to develop, but I also hate to put her through surgery so soon.
For those of you who might be wondering, Eme likes her momma just fine now. I do believe she has whined/whimpered when I have left the room several times in the past couple of days. John and I are continuing to share the duties of taking care of her, even the horrible, screaming bath times. She screams from the moment her toes touch the water until her jammies are on and you are holding her. Of course, when it is Jack's turn for a bath he throws his arms up yelling "Yay" and runs for the tub.
Having two kiddos is so strange, it really is. Didn't someone mention that having two is much harder than one, but when you have three, it is easier? I'm not sure I believe the part about three being easier....unless your first born is old enough to practically be a live-in nanny. :)
