adventures with baby

Today, I am going on an “actual” adventure with my baby.  We are flying across the country!!  I never thought I would want to fly with my baby, but my mom is getting married.  It’s important to be there.  So, I had to figure out the best way to get there.  Usually, I have one lay-over which isn’t too bad.  However, the last two times I flew to California, my connecting flights were cancelled. I ended up sleeping in the airport, and I was pregnant both times.  Nightmare!! I found a  way to fly non-stop.  I have to drive a ways to the Miami airport, but it will be worth it.  I cannot imagine being stuck in an airport with my 3 month old baby.  The advice I’ve been given is to nurse him on take-off and landing to help with his ears.  Also, I should only bring enough diapers for the flight, then buy more when I get there.  I’m traveling pretty light.  I found a company that rents baby gear. I will rent a car seat and a stroller for the week.  It’s cheaper than bringing them with me!  I will hold Thomas on my lap, so I don’t need to buy a ticket for him.  Wish me luck!
