Jealous of the sleeping babies, but it's giving me hope that quiter nights are in our near future!
We leave for Florida this week and I'm SO excited for warm weather. But we're driving so I'm nervous about 12 hours in the car with our four week old. If anyone has any tips to make the trip easier, I'm open to suggestions!
No suggestions just wishing you good luck. Hope the trip goes smoothly!

We took DD 11 hours when she was 4 weeks old. She did great. Slept nearly the whole time. Try and put a size larger diaper on so that leaks don't disturb sleep.

We're still camping out at NY parent's house until DH is back on his feet. The ILs came to visit today. I think they're jealous that my parents get to see DD every day and they only see her once a week. I'm hoping we're clear to go home this coming week. DH is definitely sleeping better. I just made myself some homemade chunky bars. You know, cause they're "healthy" candy bars.
Little miss slept from 11-5. Then she was fussy around 7 am. DH brought her to our bed and we all slept until about 9:15. It was wonderful!
We are going to sil's house for our nephews birthday. Crawfish! I love spring here.
Dh's grandfather passed away Friday. The services are on Monday. He was not that close to him. But he is going to services but I cant. I just got back to work last week. We have a trial this week and I have NO vacation/sick time left. It is also about an hour and a 1/2 away from work. I feel bad that I can't go but the timing sucks.
I'm loving your post for the crawfish, not the death, btw. I'm sorry for your loss!

kaydee0402 I second what PPs have said about allowing yourself an hour for stopping to tend to baby and try to stick to their schedule. DS sleeps so hard in his car seat that he pretty much skips all early signs of hunger, so he wakes up starving and really upset. It's worth watching the clock and anticipating his needs, even if he looks like he's happy sleeping. Also get one of those mirrors so you can see baby while driving (unless I guess you plan on sitting in the back seat too). I loved being able to glance back and see he's okay. 3-4 hours is a long time to not lay eyes on baby.

I love those mirrors! We got one a few weeks ago because I hate driving around and not being able to see my LO.
I just got home from a pedicure and DH and DD are snuggling and napping on the couch, DS is napping in his bed. I kinda want to lay down as well but I know the second my eyes close, DD will wake up and be hungry.
There was a mom and her 5 year old daughter in the chairs next to me having their first mother-daughter pedicure. It was the cutest thing and made me SO excited to get to do that with DD in a few years

We're signing a 1 year lease on a place tomorrow and can start moving stuff in this week (formally move in on the 10th)!
This allows us to either renew there if we really like it or move back to the old place (6-9, but more likely 12 months until we can get back in). It's walkable to town and has a little private beach. We are excited to get some kind of normalcy soon.

Gonna smack MIL. Sure, let's encourage grand baby #1 to paw all over a newborn and an hour later tell his mom "she had a fever earlier, we hope it's just teething!"
Jealous of all of the sleeping babies, but happy for you mommas. We spent the morning getting M's pictures taken in/with bluebonnets (this is apparently a thing in Texas?).
Yes, it's a thing We take enormous pride in our state, and the bluebonnet is the state flower. Be careful while trekking through them. While picking/digging up the flower is not illegal, most believe it is against state law and will passionately admonish you.
DD still has a cold, and it seems to have gotten worse. She is constantly waking herself up because she has trouble breathing. When I put her down after the last feeding DH was super worried and told me that he couldn't sleep because he was so anxious. She finally settled down and we went to sleep. When I woke up for this feeding he had gone to sleep in the guest room. WTH? So, our daughter has trouble breathing and your response is to go sleep in another room? Fuck you! Yes, I know he needs to sleep for work but does that make it only my responsibility to try the snot sucker and all the other remedies and stay up making sure she breathes? I thought he was this kids parent to. I'm glad to take the MOTN feedings and diaper changes under normal conditions but if there is a problem I'd like to feel like I have his support.
Ok, sorry, rant over. We are going to have a serious talk about this when he wakes up.
