I went home this weekend for a friend's shower and lucky Sarah got to come along! A part of the trip we went to Sarah's grandparents as I got a cheaper flight by getting one near their house and wasn't sure if she might get sick, etc.
Grandma got Sarah a pool to play in when she visits so of course we had to try it before it got dark!
 |
| We thought Sarah could make it from the house to the pool without peeing. guess not!!! |
 |
| Quite the trooper! The water was pretty cold |
 |
| Duckies!!!! |
I was so stressed about the flights but 3 of the 4 flights(connections) were great! I ended up having a seat next to me empty on 3 flights. On the 3rd flight I was the only one on the plane that lucked out and the gate agent didn't even do it that way. I asked and she said it was full, but when I was going down the jetbridge she caught me and told me my seatmate never checked in. Sweet!!
On my first flight the guy next to me in the aisle told me not to stress and that no one was bothered. It was very nice since it was our first flight and helped ease my stress. For the most part, everyone wanted to help me get out of the plane and wanted to make sure I was okay with the baby. And a special shout out to Delta as all their workers were super nice to us. (The last flight no one (customers) was helpful and people were cutting me off to get out of the plane - so rude!)
Sarah got her first set of wings from the flight attendant for her baby book. We got lots of comments on how big her eyes were, how she is a gerber baby and how happy she was so overall pretty good!
What I learned from my first flight with Sarah
1. She does the best first thing in the morning
2. Scoring an extra seat is awesome.
3. I didn't need the stroller and would have been way more work especially with connecting
4. My carseat check bag stinks! Need to contact Amazon!
5. Most people are so nice, but some stink!
6. Ignore the stares when you get on the plane of people hoping you won't sit next to them.
7. Get on the plane last not first!
8. Sarah loves meeting new people.
9. Sitting on the floor at the gates worked pretty well so she could stretch.
10. One set of extra clothes is not enough.
11. Changing a baby in those bathrooms is awful. (No changing spot other than the lid of the toilet so I took her back and did it in the extra seat on one of the flights.)

| She didn't know how good she had it! |
When we got in we went to my grandmothers house as it is closer from the airport. We all had lunch, played and Sarah and I napped (7am flights whew!)
 |
| Couch playtime! |
 |
| Hi Uncle Dale! |
 |
| The fam! |
On Saturday it was my friend's pre-big day so we went to her shower in the afternoon. Sarah got to come too! She was very good with Gamma watching her. She even kept her headband on the whole time! This was also her first time in a high chair. I think she disagreed with how her legs should be placed. See below!
 |
| I love showers!!! |
 |
| She couldn't make the whole thing. Fell asleep at the present unwrapping time! |
 |
| Back home after all of her flights on Sunday! |
