Unlike previous trips with just Osei and I, we packed in advance, so getting ready to leave town wasn't too stressful. We have an entire suitcase full cloth diapers, by the way. Anyway, I put Palesa down at 10:00. She was awake, but I turned the radio to static and she put herself to sleep. Major success. Osei and I went to bed around midnight, exactly when Palesa woke up again to eat. And eat. And eat. And poop. I tried putting her down, but she makes all kinds of cute noises, and I can't sleep when she's awake. Finally, at 2:30, she and I both fell asleep, at last. And at 4:45 am, the alarm clock rang.
Mom and Ralph picked us up from the airport, and were so thrilled to meet their new granddaughter! It is hard not to fall in love with Palesa as soon as you set eyes on her, and just as we predicted, they are both smitten.
Eventually, we put Palesa on the dining room table while we ate dinner. She was our centerpiece.
