Kaitlyn was great both ways in the car (7 hours each way). Hardly a peep out of her!! She slept most of the time, but would stay awake when I sat in the back with her for awhile. We stopped twice to nurse her and the trip that usually took us 6 1/2 hours now only takes 7. On the way, we decided to get up at 4 AM to leave so that it would still be dark and she would sleep better. We considered doing the same on the way back and decided not to so she could get more time with the grandparents and so we wouldn't be so tired. Her schedule was thrown off a little bit, but not too bad.
The first night we were there, Kaitlyn came down with what we hope is allergies (severe congestion, no fever, still good disposition). We considered going to the emergency clinic there in Alexandria, but it seemed like overkill for her symptoms. We are going to Dr. NeSmith today to confirm our diagnosis and determine whether there is anything we can give her with her being so young. She sure hates the saline drops up the nose and the "booger sucker." We haven't been able to let her sleep on her back because she has trouble breathing, so she has been sleeping either in her car seat or in the swing.
Here are some pictures from the trip.
Kaitlyn and Mamaw. My child does do more than sleep, but I always seemed to have the camera out when she was sleeping.
She better get used to the trip- we are planning on going again for Thanksgiving and the weekend before Christmas.
