So this weekend we all drove to Dallas to visit Jeff's brother and family, and check out some areas since we may be moving up there soon. Jeff's company us relocating up there... We drove up on Friday morning and are coming back now, on Sunday.
I was so nervous Gwen was going to sleep terrible, keep us all up, and be miserable during the day; I was preparing myself for the worst. But everything was fine. The drives up and back were great, with naps and feedings timing out perfectly. She still doesn't eat many solids, so that helped a bit.
We got there, and things were good. She got tired out while playing with her cousins, Grace and Hazel, and we stuck to our bedtime routine: bath, pjs, music, nursing. She went to sleep around 7, and everything seemed fine until midnight. She woke up crying loud. I ended up having to nurse her for the rest of the night. She wouldn't fall asleep for 2 hours! Not sure why, but thinking it had to do with teething and the new surroundings. It'll be much easier when she can tell us what the heck is bothering her!
The next day was great! She spent the day with Nana, who had driven up with us. She took a nap on a walk in the stroller, and played with cousins. Jeff and I drove around some areas, trying to get a feel for the neighborhoods, since we might he moving up there soon. We got home in time for her next nap, when I nursed her to sleep. Then we, the adults, had Mai tais, and played in the pool with the kids.
The second night went awesome! She went down easily and slept the entire night! Totally beat!
Got home and now I'm nursing yet to sleep for the night. The trip was a success and I'm do happy things went well!
Happy 1st Father's Day, to my amazing husband! (He got a massage for his gift from Gwen)
