Hi from Singapore

Hi to all my cute fam! It's 4am and stel and ave are up w more energy than you can imagine. They are watching home movies b/c we have no dvd player, no cable tv and no toys. We made the long journey pretty well. Ava was a major pain on the long flight, non stop the whole time, wouldn't watch tv and every ativity I had lasted about 2 minutes and on to the next, didn't fall asleep until only 2 hr away and then woke after an hour in histerics, one man even offered me a antihistamine, said it would knock her out, I was tempted, but a bit disturbed also. I took her potty 5 times and she wet through 2 diapers and pants in the first 3 hrs! She has some serious out
put. THe 2nd flight was much better, we were all so tired and slept most of it. We pulled in to a Welcome Home sign made by the Dayne's. Our first day was spent getting bedding, food, blow dryer and we got a sewing machine! and random stuff to set up a house. THe kids have seen some of their friends, and Becky's baby is darling. Of course we ended up at Ikea. We had to keep waking up the girls, they fell asleep at dinner, in the car, and at Ikea, It was sad, they were so miserable. Ifelt like it was child abuse. Spen is sick, and maybe got a little used to being alone??!! Brit spent the first night and morn crying, she was pretty emotional. I would call right now, but can't find the cell phone. Things will get better! It is so hard for me to be so out of sorts, but patience...it will all come together!
Love you all and miss you already!!

Joce,
Im so glad to hear you made it safely. Sounds like it was quite the trip but Im sure you are glad its over with. I was driving into swimming lessons today and Brea started crying in the car and said "Mom, do you know why I am crying?" No, why honey? "Because I miss the stevens so much, Im going to tell spencer he can flick me as much as he wants when he gets home, that will make him really happy." Now if that doesn't make spencer feel loved I don't know what will. But she is right, we miss you already and hope that you can feel the love that we all have for you. Keep us updated on things. I went to Dr. today and things aren't looking so great. She doesn't think I will make to 36 weeks but hopefully a couple more at least. He is ready and pushing his way through already. Any way we will let you know. Say a prayer he can stay put for a little longer. Know that we love you.
