We had a lovely dinner with J & T and J's 'rents last night, an indulgence since we're going to be in CO when T makes pierogies for Christmas. They were delicious (and so was the ham). We got home around 10PM.
A slept (mostly) while C and I packed. It took us until 2AM to pack every thing. A woke up at 5:25 on the nose to eat, so I fed him and gather the last essentials we'd forgotten in our midnight stupor (infant Tylenol, wipes) that still need to go in the suitcase. This is all the crap we'll be lugging along:
- One huge-ass suitcase big enough for the entire damn family to climb in. Checked.
- One Pack-N-Play, with sheets. Checked.
- One matching bag with books, food (cookies!), second-string back-ups for A and my other nursing bra, since you just can't go buy a huge-ass nursing bra at the 7-11. Carry-on.
- One duffle containing winter gear: boots, hats, scarves, etc. Carry-on due to essential nature of winter gear coupled with lack of desire to wear Bean boots in SD airport.
- One diaper bag, filled to the freaking brim with diapers and A's first-string back-up outfits. Carry-on.
- One purse, filled with all the liquids that I can't replace easily in case I am separated from my checked luggage. Carry-on.
- One freaking huge car seat, with base, to be lugged on the plane. Carry-on.
- Coats for all. Not taking the full-length wool. Carry-on.
- Baby Bjorn and Peanut Shell baby carriers for baby portability. Carry-on.
We're sleep-deprived, but we're traveling. I MUST shower. Have a merry Christmas if I don't catch you until after the merriment.
