13 Weeks
We are in New Mexico!!! First off being Pregnant and traveling with a 9 1/2 month Old is insane! I was officially the poster Mom of Pathetic, Run Down, Exhausted, and looked like I let myself completely go. Normally I can pull off being together but yesterday just wasn't the day!
Let me explain... I was so busy trying to clean the house, and finish my hw the night before our trip. I fell asleep at 2am and my alarm was suppose to wake me up at 5am. Well guess what?! For some odd reason it didn't go off! I woke up at 7am! Our flight leaves at 9:40am! So frantically I get up and start running around my house grabbing things I needed for our trip. I'm yelling at Alan to grab me clothes. Rule #1 never last minute have your husband pack for you! I had 2 garment bottoms and 5 garment tops! He forgot all of my socks! And packed me a bright pink zip up jacket that didn't match anything! As well as some other odds and ends that made no sense. We finally got out the door and arrived at the airport at 9am! My family decided to get my Grandpa Garcia a dog for his birthday! Which was ideally the perfect present for him. However I was to take it on the plane with me! We finally got checked in, and said our goodbyes to Alan. Then we precede through the security line. Wouldn't you know that I had to take Brenton out of his stroller. Take my laptop out of my bag. Take my shoes off. And take the dog out of his carrier. So with a 4 lbs. dog in one hand and a 20lbs. baby in the other I walk through without a problem. But there was a problem I had NO HANDS left to open a stroller, put the dog back in its bag, put my laptop away, or put on shoes! I must have looked ridiculous trying to open a stroller with my foot! Plus add in the fact that I'm wearing my Pjs still and my pony tail was almost all the way out. And the sheer panic expression on my face wondering how I was going to pull this off and make my flight. Finally a sweet older woman came up to me and asked if she could help me! Rule #2 dont bring a baby and a dog on the same flight if you don't have help!!! So thanks to her I was able to get everything loaded. I take off running down the terminal and get almost all the way down when I realized I was in the wrong terminal!!! So I ended up running back and to the opposite side of the airport. Finally I get back to my flight, which was in final boarding! The ladys take my ticket and say okay right through that door! Door?! I open the door and we are on the tar mat! Our plane was tiny! My Diaper bag was to much to take with me so it was checked with my stroller underneath the plane. I quickly had to grab what I thought would keep Brent busy for 2 hrs. I get onto the plane and they literally closed the airplane door behind me. I sit down and 1 lady says to me "bad day, huh?!". A man than says "you dont look to good!". Rule #3 never look so bad that people you have never met in your life tell you that you look like a wreck! When the stewartist came around he gave everyone 1 snack and a drink. However when he got to me he gave me about 8 snacks and 2 drinks! Again not a good sign! Thankfully Brent was good on his flight. And we arrived to NM safely and somehow in one piece! Lets hope the ride home goes better!
The weather is a wonderful change! We love 70 plus degrees! However I have slept a ton here! And I imagine I will do much more to make up for the lack of sleep this past semester. And throwing up is still happening! As well as needing to go the bathroom tons. Until next week...
