Hawaii here we come



After finally getting all the bags packed and boxes shipped, we loaded up the car and headed out of our drive way at 6:30am. I actually had to wake little man up! He woke up with a smile though. We made it with only one stop to Atlanta and got to the airport by 9:30. Todd pulled up to the curb, jumped out of the car and started to unload our 2 checked bags, big jogging stroller, our little carry on backpack, our big carry on roll bag, bassinet, and then once I got him strapped in the front carrier, we unloaded his carseat. It was crazy!!!! We made our way through security and had about an hour to spare so we decided to all relax and feed Wyatt. Once settled in our seats, I let Nancy hold him for take off and then I tried to put him to sleep. This is our first fit! he didn't want to go to sleep and he fought me with all his strength, to bad I one!! WE both slept for about an hour until my fingers felt numb and I gave him to Todd. Wyatt made it through the rest of the flight to Salt Lake City being passed from Todd, to Nancy, to Morgan and then to me. He did great! We landed in Salt Lake and realized that our plane to L.A was delayed, this was not so great. AFter feeding little man I put him in his new carrier (ergo baby) thanks Faris for telling me about it, and he went right to sleep. he loved that thing! He woke up shortly after take off and here comes fit number two! I held him and fought with him for about thirty minutes until he gave in and I won! He slept for alittle bit and then woke up when we were landing. We had a very tight connection but they held the flight and we made it. By this time Wyatt was VERY tired!!! AFter getting on the plane and taking off, we gave him a bottle dressed him for bed, put him in the bassinet on the floor. (This didn't make the flight attendants happy but it made Wyatt happy) The whole family slept until we landed in Maui! i put him in the carrier and we collected our bags, loaded up in a big SUV (we had alot of stuff) and drove 50 minutes to the hotel. He then stayed awake until we were all unpacked (around 12:00am) we put him in his crib and he slept until 7 am! Okay, he woke up twice but both times all he wanted was a pacifier, quick butt pat and his little pig! I think thats pretty darn good for a four month old who has been traveling all day!

All night long

As I sit here pumping in bed at 3:30 in the morning, I wonder how I got my little one to sleep all night long in his crib! I'm watching wiggle and move on the baby monitor and thank God that he can now sleep all night with no help! Me on the other hand, well I'm trying to keep that milk supply up and create a supply for when we go out of town. When will my days of All Night Long come? - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

We all need friends

I remember almost a year ago when a good friend of mine invited me to a lunch group, Friday's at noon. At that time in my life I needed it! I needed to get out and meet new friends, other ladies with children about the same age, going through the same thing. This was a life saver for me. I am not a very outgoing person and it's hard to make friends when you don't have a full time job. Long story made short.... I made some GREAT friends in that group. As all good things to do though, things changed, people moved on and life became a little crazy for all of us. So the lunch group is starting up again and even though some people have left, we have some new faces to get to know! Wednesday a couple of us went out for a ladies night out and it was great! Two new people for me to get to know and I feel like I have made two new life long friends. It's so refreshing to just have a night out with the ladies and yes, we may spend the whole night talking about our babies and what t...

First trip to the ER

Image
Yesterday was a day of firsts! First time to try to potty training and first trip to the ER. Here is how we ended up there..... He woke up feeling good and we had a nice start to potty training! He didn't eat a lot of breakfast but some days he does and others he doesn't so I didn't think much about it. When lunch time rolled around he still didn't eat. He then became very cranky and uninterested in the potty thing so I let my dad take him up for his nap. He normally goes down pretty easy but today he didn't. He said that his tummy hurt and couldn't get comfortable. He finally fell asleep but didn't stay asleep long. He moved all around and cried out a couple times then finally woke up. He was NOT himself. He cried and wanted to be held. Then all of a sudden he would be fine. Then minutes later he would say his tummy hurt, then drop to his knees and cry and move around trying to get comfortable. It was so sad. My parents wanted him to spend the night si...
