Hi all,
Happy 2009 to you! We "rang out" 2008 with a bang and a whimper... Hai and I flew back from New Mexico yesterday afternoon. Everything was going great... he fell asleep as we took off from Albuquerque and I thought "I'm home free". Next thing I knew he was awake... gagging... Yes, Hai barfed on the plane. 15min into the flight. Fun. The worst part was - NOT ONE SINGLE flight attendant lifted a finger to even bring me towels or help in any way. When I finally took Hai, covered in vomit, back to the bathroom, one of the flight attendants handed me a garbage bag and said "please put the diaper and stuff in here, I don't want it in the bathroom trash". Rene' & Murf, if you are reading this - this was a PHOENIX based crew on their last leg from ABQ to PHX, flight 1651. They sucked.
The flight attendants that joined us in PHX for the flight to San Jose' were much nicer... but of course I'd cleaned up all the barf and Hai was sound asleep on my lap for that whole flight. Hmmm...
Other than that, we had a great time at Grandma and GrandDad's, despite my Dad's attack of gout and both Hai and I having sinus infections for most of the time... We spent a lot of time in "quiet activities". Hai got to play with his new puzzles and his new train. He's still a little small for his new trike, so we left it there so he can ride it this summer. It will be perfect then.
I hope you all had a great holiday and are having a happy new year! We are off to Whole Foods this morning to get some probiotic yogurt to see if we can get Hai's gut back to normal after the antibiotics...
Here's hoping your New Year does NOT start with barfing... :-)

This blog is about my journey to become a mom which led me to a little boy named Nguyen Xuan Hai (aka "Hai"). I am writing this so you can all join me on that journey and share in all the ups and downs of bringing him home, but probably not the sleepless nights...

I am so sorry to hear about the lack of compassion and attentiveness you encountered. When I hear about a SWA flight attendant being less than kind, it breaks my heart. I looked up their names, and they were a very senior group. The poor dears were working the holiday and only making about $75 an hour that day. No wonder they couldn't be bothered to assist you, i.e. do their jobs. Rest assured, I have put the appropriate hexes upon them.
Is Hai better? That poor thing! You poor thing!
Perhaps you can look at his eruption as a purging of the old to bring in a new and better year.
Wishing you love, good health, and better flight crews,
René
