The Final Day - Mommy's post

I just read Jason's post and I suspect we will be posting here (maybe often) in the next several days so keep checking. :)

I am so glad I have had this time here with Karla. I am also glad Jason has had a week with Karla too. I really think it is going to make going home together much easier. The past 2-3 days have been better. Karla seems happier and doesn't have a fit if she is told "no". She has also cried less overall.

I still can't believe all 3 of us are going HOME together tomorrow (well, actually later today)! It is a day I really have not let myself imagine much at all. It still all seems surreal.

I am happy that we went to Antigua today although it would have been nicer to have more time there. Someday we'll have to go back when Karla will enjoy it more too. It helped me view Guatemala a little differently, more positively. There are some beautiful places. It was fun to go sightseeing but as we were leaving Antigua heading back to Guatemala City (trying to see different buildings and places, pointed out by our tour guide Diana) - I had trouble looking at the buildings, etc. because I thought the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen was my daughter, sleeping in my arms.

Thank you for all of your prayers! They have been answered!
