Justin’s Spinal Muscular Atrophy Blog

Ladies & Gents… He’s on China time !!! Yeah!

May 30th, 2008

Well, on the 10th day of our trip, we experienced something magical …  Justin slept a full 8 hours… in the night!  Yes, after 9 days and nights of sleeping 2-3 hour blocs, we finally got a full night sleep.  Boy does it ever feel good.

 Here’s a funny story…  our first night in Shanghai, Karen and David Chow (which by the way welcomed us into their home and made our first night in China very comfortable…  Thanks again!) wished us luck with Justin’s jet lag.  Even a neighbour that we met on our “after supper” walk laughed at the thought of traveling with a baby…  So back to the house we went, put baby in the playpen and pouf, he was out like a light.  Sure enough the next morning, there I was bragging about how easy it is to travel with a baby as good as Justin…  “I think we’re over the jet lag” I said…  Man should I have kept my big pie hole shut!  For the next 8 days, Justin tried pretty much every time zone in the world… sleeping his night from 8am to 4pm, then 11am to 7pm, and for the last couple of days, 4pm to midnight.  If you asked us, here’s what we would say:  “Thank god for coffee and energy drinks!!!”

Now, we are getting ready for our little trip to Hangzhou and West Lake.  We are pretty excited about it.  The weather is nice again today, 27-29 degrees.  It should be a very enjoyable day.

 We’ll take lots of pics (and for those who know Tatiana…  that means LOTS of pics !.!.!.) that we’ll share with you all soon.

 See you later and talk to you soon!

Only one more thing to say… “Bye Bye jet lag, we’ll see you in 2 weeks!”

Cheers!
