We really have a very good baby. Carolyn slept in the car for almost the entire drive – we even had a good three-hour stretch where we didn’t need to stop at all. McDonald’s is not the most comfortable place to nurse, and their changing areas are hit-or-miss, but it wasn’t too bad. I even managed to knit half a baby sock in the car before it got too dark out!<\/p>\n
The only thing I think we forgot was the baby monitor, which isn’t the end of the world, just a minor inconvenience. I always like to figure out what I’ve forgotten – since I always forget one thing – so that I know that everything else made it. (My grandmother always leaves something on purpose in hotel rooms, so that she knows what she left and can make sure it’s not a really important thing – like she’ll leave a pair of old slippers so that she doesn’t forget her jewelry. Yes, I have a weird family.)<\/p>\n
Now if we can just get back on a somewhat “normal” sleep schedule, we’ll be all set. That being said, she did sleep from 1 to 7 and is sleeping still, so it’s not like I didn’t get any sleep last night, it just got shifted a bit from our usual 11 to 5 schedule.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
