We made it home. The return trip didn't go as bad as we thought. Annalisa did very well for the first 25 hours but as we begun the last descend toward Jacksonville's airport she decided that she had had enough and whaled, screamed, cryed and thrashed her body around for the last hour until we landed. I think her ears were really hurting by then.
We were welcomed home by a small army of family and FCC friends. It was good to see everyone.
We have been home now for a couple of days and are really jet legged. Annalisa was awake pretty much all night the first night but she's starting to get the idea of nights and days although she wakes up many times during the night and her sleep is very agitated and refuses to sleep in her crib.
We call her the "little bird" because she is constantly eating and her little mouth is always open when there's food around.
The first meeting with the pets went OK. When we first came in the house she was very curious about them. Bianca (my 100 pounds German Shepard) was very curious about her too but as soon as she put her snout next to Annalisa's face she let out a horrified scream. A few minutes later she had a close encounter with Mittens (my orange tabby) and her reaction was just as horrified. After a few hours at home though she let the dog sniff her and she has been fine with them ever since. Bianca and the Bird compete for food and stare each other down to make sure that they are getting the same amount of food from mommy. As a result mommy doesn't get much to eat.
Here are a few pictures of the first day home!
