I finally booked my flight. Next week we are off to see my family. My Dad already told me that he can't wait to meet her and I believe my Mom is very happy, too. She has already taken care of a crib so Lilli will have a place to sleep.
We are staying nearly a whole month. It is so great that I don't work right now, otherwise I wouldn't have that opportunity. Dh hopes to join us at my parents' house for Xmas. Hopefully we will be able to fly back together. I am so excited to introduce Lilli to her grandparents and her uncle. Her uncle was so nice to offer us a pick up at the airport. I really appreciate this as I don't know yet how Lilli will do on the flight.
Last week Lilli was really good on both flights and slept the whole time. What a relief for us. We had her suck a bottle at take-off both times. She was just bothered by the "Fasten your seat-belt sign" noise or when the captain or steward was making an announcement. We had a very bumpy ride and I was a little nervous. I don't usually mind flying, but I get terrified if it starts to get bumpy.
Thanksgiving with dh's family was really nice. I could understand his desire to see them again before we are moving. Speaking of: no news yet.
I am getting increasingly frustrated with the fact that we have tons of baby clothes packed up sitting in Miami while we have to buy everything that we need because we can't access it. I am missing Lilli's swings and her feeding seat. Speaking of feeding. I would like to wait until she is about 6 months old until we start her on solids. But if she is getting increasingly frustrated with the bottle she might need some a little earlier. She has been a little more difficult in the mornings and has been screaming a lot lately. I don't know whether it is her teething or what is going on.
This weekend we will head to North Carolina to see our new nephew who will be born on Thursday. This is a scheduled C-section. We didn't really expect to be here so long and be able to meet him prior to moving. At least we get to see dh's Dad, too and he will be able to spend some more time with Lilli as well.
