Nebraska Here We Come!

We were so excited to finally make a trip to Nebraska! Lorelei did very well on the airplane on the way there. The DVD player did help, although didn't entertain her the entire time. She did get one quick cat nap on the airplane. Then, after a happy greeting from Grandma and Grandpa Stahl at the airport, we made a quick food/Target run and then headed home. Unfortunately Lorelei did NOT want to go to sleep with all of this excitement, so stayed awake the entire 3 hr drive! This proved for a very long drive home and an even worse first night at the farm. I compared it to her first night home from the hospital as she cried and cried and then after sleeping some, cried some more. We could not figure out what to do, so fed her somewhat of a midnight snack and that seemed to help a bit. We had a few more rought nights this trip, so have decided that Lorelei definitely takes time to adjust to new surroundings. Another big part of the problem was she caught a cold on the airplane! The stuffy nose was also a big contributer to her lack of sleep. Being able to write this after the trip, she is currently sleeping off much of the sleep deprivation of the trip, so hopefully will be back to normal in no time! :) Much more happy and exciting entries coming up next!
