Saturday when Vince got home at 4am from work we got ready to head over to eastern WA for the day. Truett woke up around 4:30 for his second feed of the night so I fed him and got him in his car seat and off we went.
True is not a fan of the car but we seemed to time it perfectly that he slept for almost the whole trip. It takes a little over 3.5 hours to get there and he slept for the first 2, then we stopped for a feed and changing and we slept for the remaining 1.5. I was so impressed! It definitely made the trip so much easier.
We spent the day by the pool and visited Vince's aunt and uncle. Then took a nice walk along the river before dinner. It was True's first time at a restaurant and he did great! Vince had to take him outside briefly to walk him around to get him to go to sleep but other than that he was a happy camper
We left to head home around 9 which is his usual bed time and he slept the whole way home! It was perfect. He actually didn't wake up for his next feed until an hour after getting home.
It was nice to take a day trip and to tear out the driving situation. We are taking another trip next week and will be gone the entire week so at least now I feel a little more prepared.
Sunday we had our Bradley class reunion. It was so fun to see everyone again and meet all the babies. We had 5 boys and 1 girl! They are all so precious. It was great to hear everyone's stories and talk about life as new mommies.
We don't have any friends out age with babies so it was nice to talk with the ladies and get their stories. It was such a fun group to share prgnancy with and now we get to share mommy stories too!
We had a great busy weekend and True was such a trooper. It makes me so happy to have a baby that is fairly chill and we can do things with. I think it definitely saves our sanity.
We love family time!
Isn't the Bradley reunion the best?! You should look into finding a MOMS Club group near you. You've mentioned before that you don't have many mommy friends or friends for Truett near by..maybe you could find some through a group in your area by attending play dates? Just a thought. ;) Congrats on your first successful trip away! I wish we would have thought to travel during nap at such a early age. We didn't get that memo until much later. ha!
