We arrived safely. The flight was not difficult. We took turns holding Gabriel for eleven and a half hours. As long as we held him he was happy, and we were happy even if my arms felt like they might fall off.
Gabriel slept for about three hours in the twenty-some hours we traveled. He was curious and noticed everything about the plane and travelers. Like I said if he was in our arms he was entertained.
When we arrived at my mom's home my brothers, sisters-in-laws, nieces, and nephews were there waiting to see the newest arrival to our family. Their love was as thick as peanut butter and spread out throughout the house. Joyous! Loving! Happy! Wonderful! Everyone took turns holding him in the quiet dark house. A nest was prepared in that space I call home, their open arms that I know so well were the gift I expected. Gabriel was welcomed.
He slept well that night.
The next day he slept from four in the afternoon breastfeeding periodically throughout but never really waking until seven the next morning.
He is a trooper!
Thank you for your love, prayers, vibes, and messages for our well being. We are basking in the love that we have come to know so well.
