Really, she is.
Kate was AMAZING on our trip to Michigan. I was a bit nervous for many reasons...the flights....sleeping in not one but TWO strange places...keeping the schedule, etc....and EVERYTHING was PERFECT! No joke!
Her first flight was great! She nursed/slept the entire flight, and had it not been for the creepy businessman next to me asking inappropriate questions, it would've been a really nice flight. We got to my parents where she had her solid food and then two hours later went to bed. She slept the WHOLE NIGHT! We...were...shocked!
Friday morning, we loaded her up with all of her stuff and went to my sister's house in Grand Rapids for Emily's 7th birthday party and for my sister's 40th. We had a busy, but great time, and again...despite being overstimulated by lots of kids and a dog, Kate slept the entire night through in the pack-n-play with me sleeping in the same room too.
We went back to Ann Arbor on Saturday after watching Erin's soccer game in the morning and Kate did so well in the car...until about a half hour out of Ann Arbor. Nobody really wanted to stop for me to nurse her (neither did I), so I unhooked and hung myself over her while she stayed safely strapped in her car seat and nursed her! Truthfully, I got the idea from someone at Gymboree and it worked GREAT. All she needed was a snack to get her through to the next feed, so I was only doing this for about 5 minutes. We were cracking up in the car!
The rest of the trip was just great and Kate did amazing on the flight back. She fell into a DEEP sleep and I even had to wake her as the plane was landing to nurse her on the way down. The cool thing is that I was telling the Northwest agent at the ticket counter about the creepy businessman from the flight down, and so she gave me the bulkhead and blocked the seat next to me, so Kate and I had our own row on the way back! Awesome! I will post pictures of the visit later today when I have some time to upload.
The best news: I have SEVEN more shows 'til I'm a stay at home mommy. I can't WAIT!
