Sunder has been with us for three weeks. For three weeks my poor husband has endured her rejections. For three weeks he patiently held out his arms to her and was refused over and over again. But today for the very first time, he held out his arms to her and SHE WENT TO HIM!!! Not only that, but she seems to like him a little bit. This is huge and we are all so happy that they are finally connecting. Soon enough she will realize that daddy is the fun one :)
I have not fared well. Since returning I have been sick and so dang tired I can't even think straight. We've been home one week today and still can't get my feet underneath me. I have lost 10 pounds, which is not a good thing in my case. I am very weak and am trying to eat although nothing sounds good.
Sunder is doing so amazing. She is so comfortable with us, our extended family and our house. She is sleeping and eating great. She wakes up happy and full of chatter. She is using the sign language we've taught her. As a result our communication is getting SO much better and the tantrums have decreased dramatically. She likes order which makes me very happy, since I've been outnumbered in my household until now :) Now we have 2 orderly types and two messy ones. Everything is in good balance :)
Still working on the time change adjustment. Last night was our best yet. The kids went down at 7:30 and woke up and 5:30. We just gotta shift that a few more hours and we'll be golden!

Yay! I'm so happy things are beginning to fall into place. You're BOTH fun parents, don't forget that. :-) Hugs to everyone.
Sounds like everything is going well! Except you must eat. I hope you get to feeling better soon.
That is good news that Sunder went to Corin. I'm sure you are both relieved to see progress there!
I hope you get back on your feet soon. Maybe you should see a doctor?
I know, I have become such a mom.
