Very good indeed.
Alice is sleeping in her own bed. The nursery curtains are up, they look good. The changing table has been assembled, it's the wrong colour, it's got to go back - I'm extremely cross about this fiasco, but the nursery is coming together.
She's been smiley all day and has been quick to adapt to new circumstances. There have been lots of new faces, places and objects today, probably more than is good for her, but she has coped well. I will need to make things predictable for her, but first there are a few (hundred) people who are longing to meet her, and I need to see them.
As for the journey, Alice was very, very good. The first flight (6.30pm Tuesday night in China to Hong Kong) was short and sweet, then had to wait 4 hours for the next flight to Heathrow. We had pushchair hassles (I bought the pushchair especially for the anticipated evening at Hong Kong airport and then DIDN'T have it there at all, it was retrieved at Heathrow). The second flight was over 12 hours, Alice slept for the first 9 hours, she was a bit grumbly for the final few hours. I managed a few hours sleep. We flew BA business class, it was worth every penny. I was hesitant when buying the tickets, but it was a great decision.
