Is there room for Owen??

We win the Traveling Family Rookie of the Year award! Tuesday we hit the road for Montgomery, AL. Baker has to travel over here about once a month but he hasn't been since Owen was born - he wasn't ready for an over-night trip without us, so we decided to join him. I never imagined how A: long it would take to pack and get ready for a trip with a baby and B: how much stuff we would (potentially) need!!! I am sure that many of you are laughing and hopefully saying to yourself "I have been there before!" The trip was for 2 nights ...it took a day to get ready for it!! I packed our stuff and the car while Baker was at work. Here is what I had to include for a 2-night stay: My clothes, Baker's Clothes, and Owen's clothes (plenty of extra outfits -sometimes we go thru 2-3 a day!), LOTS of diapers, wipes, changing stuff, stroller, my computer, Baker's computer, Diaper bag, breast pump, bouncy seat ( a MUST), pack-n-play, and lots of other random bags of things. I really did wonder if we had room for Owen! The other thing was that we had to transfer ALL of this to a rental car (No need to put the miles on our car!)

Well the trip has been a success so far! It's about a 4-hour drive from Tally to Montgomery. The first 2 hours of the drive up were pretty good - he did scream a bit right before we stopped for dinner, but he was hungry and poopy! He slept the 2nd half of the drive. He has been great at night...still sleeping like a champ! Yesterday while Dad worked, we had breakfast here at the hotel, lounged around, went to lunch with dad, then hung out by the pool. Last night we took Owen to Bass Pro Shops - the biggest one!! They have a really nice restaurant there which we had dinner at, then we did some shopping!! We took lots of pictures and Owen even wore his Bass Pro Onesie that Baker got him on his last trip over here. Today we are bumming around the hotel for now. Owen and I are going to go out and do some more shopping until Baker finishes working, then it's back to Tallahassee!

8-week stats: 9lbs 12 oz and 21.5 inches (that was actually at 7 weeks...he is gaining at least an 1oz each day so he's well over 10lbs today:)
