Sometime during the trip...<\/p><\/div>
\nI’m going to have to pause before I even begin and make myself a cup of tea. I can hardly keep my eyes open. Christian went down for a nap an hour ago at 4 pm – I hope he’s not thinking he’s going to sleep for the night.<\/p>\n

Because last night, after a moment of fatal hubris when I thought we were already past the jetlag, Christian woke up at 1 am and then stayed up until 7 am. I made flax muffins and let him play in the kitchen for two of those six hours, but the rest of the time (besides taking him to pee\/poo EIGHT TIMES) was me sincerely trying to get him to sleep.
\nTo be continued…

Can you see how much Christian loves his cousin?<\/p><\/div>
\nBacktrack and update on jetlag status:
\n1st night – slept 16 hours straight through and woke up at 4 pm.
\n2nd night – awake 1 am – 7 am. sleep until 9 am.
\n3rd night – baby stirs fitfully from 1:30 am – 2:30 am. needs to be taken to pee, but never fully wakes.
\n4th night – baby wakes to pee around 3 am. continues sleeping.<\/p>\n

Dare I say, that I think the worst is past? Whew – just thinking about that second night is making my hands shake and boobs ache (baby nurses a lot when he’s jetlagged!)

Christian on a tuk-tuk ride.<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n

The moral of the story is
\nthat there is always a price to pay for a 14-hour time difference, but that jetlag is over before you know it.
\nTotally worth it (although I might not have said that after night two).

Last day in Bkk - no matter how I dressed Christian, he somehow always matched his cousin.<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
