21 Apr 11 - THE DAY IS HERE

I was counting down to this day, but as the day draws closer, my much anticipated excitement morphed into worries.

Our flight time was 10:40pm, which was way past D's sleeping time. I thought perhaps he'll just get sooooo tired that he'll fall into a deep slumber til we touch down the next morning. I was so wrong...

He did fell asleep during take off. When the seat-belt sign was turned off, we thought he'd be more comfortable in the bassinet. Hence, we carefully moved him over. Bad move! He became so awake that he wanted to play and our countless attempts to put him back to sleep failed terribly. He cried and cried like there's no tomorrow.

The sleep battle lasted for hours - from 11pm to 3am. The 6-hour journey seemed like forever. I was so embarrassed and frustrated that I wished I could jump off the plane.

On second thoughts, poor D must have been suffering from over-tiredness. He had only 2.5 hours of nap time in the day and endured til we boarded the plane.

I'm so sorry, my darling angel...
