Yay for that! The flights/layover to Knoxville was rough on me. I talked about that earlier. Mainly due to my inability to rationalize taking a STROLLER.
So, I thought there is no way the trip home would be like that. What are the chances.
It was pretty rough. I now blame the fact that I'm gettin large and in charge and again...the stroller thing.
My original perfectly planned 1PM flight through ATL then to Seattle was cancelled. BLAST. I leave around 12 or 1 so that I can keep him awake during the first short flight and then pass out for most of the long one.
My "can do" dad got me on a different airline that just left a couple of hours later. However a couple of hours to a 2 year old's nap schedule is quite a bit so he crashed on the short flight to Chicago...woke up grumpy and stumbling around the airport asking for DADDY SHISHY NAYNAY!!! Therefore I bought him some yummy Garrett's cheese popcorn and set up his Finding Nemo so that I wouldn't spend the layover chasing him around like I did at the Knoxville airport. I'm pretty sure a GAZILLION people laughed at my situation there. Big ol' preggo lady chasing a CRIZAZY 2 year old up and down the airport (luckily it was Knoxville so not big and not crowded). He lost a shoe and continued to run and fall, repeat, repeat, repeat. Smash his head ona rocking chair. Poop right as the started boarding so I sprinted to the bathroom to change him before getting on the plane.
Flash forward to the almost 4 and a half hour flight to Seatte. He didn't sleep but thankfully was only slightly hyper and restless the whole time. The dude in front of me did give me a couple of dirty looks when Giff banged on the tray table a little bit but I just couldn't muster up enough energy to give a darn. He had an empty seat next to him so I figured it was that bad he could just scoot on over and call it a day. Right when the pilot said "Flight attendants, prepare for landing" little dude decided to pass out. At least he took 20 minute nap for me.
Miss Elliot has decided to disagree with the whole flying thing which made me so glad that this was her last pre-birth flight. I had a gazillion braxton hicks contractions, major reflux, and totally thought I was going to hurl there at the end. Luckily I didn't. The guy sitting on the aisle in our row was none to pleased that I had to get up twice during the flight. I had to pee. Then Griff climbed under the seat and popped up a minute later saying, "I poopied!!!" So I took him back to the bathroom to change him. The whole way back he was yelling, "I poopied!"
And can I just say, if you haven't changed a 2 year old's poopy diaper while balancing him on top of an airplane toilet lid in a tiny little cell of a room, you haven't lived! It worked though. Then for some reason the whole way back up the plane he yelled, "Giddyup Horsey!!" over and over. No idea where that came from. I thought it was cute. Little stinker.
Elliot was SUPER active on the flights and actually all night. I think we have a future traveler on our hands! I had fun hanging up all of her new clothes from her loving family and friends today! Can't wait to put them on her cute little body!!!
I still have this cold/sinus/whatever thing going on. It's been 2 and a half weeks so I'm beginning to wonder if it's pregnancy rhinitis or something. I have an appointent tomorrow so I'll see what they think. I'm a little worried though because I weighed myself this morning and according to my scale I haven't gained anything since my last appointment on Dec. 7....I'm hoping our scale is wrong because I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be pleased with that. It's hard to eat when you can't breathe! We will see tomorrow! I'm sure our scale is wrong and their's will show some major poundage. We shall see!
