Bravery

I flew alone with J twice this past week.

Yes, he's a month old.

Yes, I got clearance from his doctor beforehand.

Yes, I was nervous.

Yes, both flights were packed.

And you know what?  

It wasn't that bad.

 On the way to PDX, D helped me check in at the airport by carrying my luggage and the carseat while I carried J (did you know that if you're traveling with kiddos, Southwest lets you check a stroller and a carseat for free and it doesn't count toward your "two bags checked for free" limit?  Yay Southwest!).  On the way back to SMF, my grandma was flying out to Oakland at the same time so she helped me.  I tried to be prepared by having lots of formula and diapers with me.  I kept J in a sling and watched him like a hawk.  

And J slept the entire time.  

Both ways.

I love my little angel.
