Traveling with baby, better than I expected

Yeah, I know, no blogs for over a week. Slacker alert. BUT, I went up north to Michigan to see family and I had a blast. Avah was surprisingly good on the flight up and the family was in love with her. That being said, whipping out the old boob and nursing her on the plane was not so great for me, but I had a small blanket to cover with and the natural jaw motion kept her ears from popping on the take off and landing. And of course, what first time flight with a baby would be complete without poop? I mean POOP. Major quantity, and oh so smelly. Of course I had the window seat and had to order two huge men sitting next to us to move or they'd be real sorry. 

Do I miss Michigan? Not really, but it had been 12 years since I got to see Autumn color change and the weather was wonderful...sunny and cool, not cold. I wish we still had our "Florida winters" to enjoy. Since moving down here I ( and many others) have noticed that the winters just keep getting warmer, that really sucks. Talk to you tomorrow!

Teething at 4 months? Say it ain't so!

Just when I get to a point in my breastfeeding where it is comfortable, as opposed to sitting in a rocking chair and digging my fingers in so hard that I removed varnish from the armrest due to pain, Avah is teething! Now, I have to ask, will this start to hurt again? Please God, I tolerated agony that rivaled pain from the c-section. Maybe give a girl a break?

Day one, and wow am I loving this!

This is going to be about all of the things that I like to have in my life, probably you too. As a new mom who is health conscious and always looking to find a new and more effective way to beat back the clock, have a better looking butt and still raise a kid to become a decent and productive human being, I think I will have a lot of company in my quest! Stay tuned.
