Well Dh, Izzy and I just got back today from a weekend trip to NJ to visit my 93 yr old grandmother and 96 yr old grandfather. My parents also joined us for the trip. It was a relatively stressful trip, flying with Izzy (although she ended up being great on the plane and for 99% of the trip) spending lots of time in my grandparents small apartment, and dealing with the inheriant stress of being around that much family for so long. Overall the trip went really well, Izzy was such a trooper, she was definately out of her routine and sleeping in a pack in play and in the same room with us. The first night she woke up about 2, and it took a long time to get her back to sleep, about till 4:30 when she finally ended up in bed with us. But the second night she slept 11 hrs straight through!!! She was sick teh whole time, she has had this monster cold for over a week and of course the day we leave it starts moving to her chest.....she acts fine, happy etc and doesn't have a fever but is just really congested. I think I am going to insist on teh dr seeing her tomorrow because enough is enough already and she just isn't getting better.
Anyway back to the trip itself, it was so cool to see my Oma(that is what i call my grandma, she is from germany and that is grandma in german) with Izzy. She is also doing amazingly well considering her age, and did a ton of cooking and kept insisting we eat eat eat!!!
I had to post this picture of Izzy i took on the way home of when she finally gave in and fell asleep on daddy, she ended up being so out cold she didn't even wake up when we got off the plane or were walking through the airport, I have NEVER seen her so out. I did give her benedryl before we got on teh plane to help with congestion etc, and it didnt' knock her out right away but I guess once she was out she stayed out.
Sorry to ramble so much, a bit exhausted from the trip. here is the picture, i will try to blog more tomorrow when i am a little more logically flowed.

Lani! I need your help! :) I just blogged about this - we're leaving Wed. for AZ. Our first flight with Lily since bringing her home. And you know, it's much different flying with a newborn than with an 8 month old. Any suggestions? Did you guys have a carrier for Izzy, or did she just sit on laps in the plane? Our flight is nearly 4 hours, and I am so worried about it! Also about the hotel! Lily doesn't sleep in our room, so I'm worried about her staying asleep in the hotel room and letting us get any sleep at all. Any advice would be GREAT!!! :) Do you have my email address? If not, just leave me a blog comment when you get a sec. I'll owe ya big time! :)
Me again :) I didn't get an email yet! My address is: karalee_stockman@hotmail.com
Resend and then maybe delete this comment. The last thing I need is a bunch of emails from the crazy anti-adoption people! :) Talk to you soon!! :)
