MaeMargaret is the most well traveled one month old ever,
no doubt about it.
I was really struggling without Blake here
(he was completing his internship with Anadarko in the Woodlands)
and decided the best decision for our little family
was to join him down there.
So MM and I hitched a ride with my good friend
and headed to Houston at 2 weeks old!!!
(along with her 4 year old, 2 year old and 3 month old...it was quite a ride!)
She traveled like a champ;
slept the entire 9.5 hours except when I woke her up to eat at stops.
We stayed for 10 days and at 3 weeks old headed back home.
We rode with CC
(who Blake was living with for the summer)
who was on her way to Abilene to see her daughter
and she did great again, only waking 2 times to eat.
Lou Lou came and stayed with us Sunday-Thursday.
We had a rough few days and appreciated the help.
Between the travel, growth spurts and just getting adapted to the world
MM was NOT happy for 3 days/nights.
She screamed and screamed and screamed
but thankfully it passed
and we had our beautiful, happy baby back!
Lou Lou dropped us off at the airport on Thursday
and MM took her first plane ride at 4 weeks old to go see Daddy again!
She slept 80% of the way and woke up as we were landing.
She was so quite when she did wake up
and was mesmerized by all the lights, people, etc.
So as you can see her first 30 days of life have been busy!
She is growing like a weed,
eating lots
and sleeping okay.
We love her so much
and can't remember or imagine
life without her in it!
