We drove up Wednesday and Lauren did beautifully! We ran into major traffic and Lauren's naps got messed up, but she handled it well and slept the whole night once we finally got to bed!
My sister and her husband let us have their master bedroom suite so we'd be more comfortable with the baby and it worked well since it's closed off from the rest of the house and quieter.
On Thursday my sister's mom and her third husband drove up for the weekend. We ate at a normal dinner time, instead of earlier in the day like a lot of people do on Thanksgiving, but that was fine. My sister had told me ahead of time that if we came up we weren't allowed to help with anything, that it was a vacation for us, so I took advantage of that and let everyone else do the cooking! We mixed some mashed potatoes and gravy for Lauren to try. She wasn't sure about the texture, but liked the taste.
Friday we took a walk and then my sister, her mom and I went to run some errands. Everyone took turns playing with Lauren and she was great about letting other people hold her and play with her. She did end up sleeping in bed with us, but I'd been expecting that. Luckily my sister and her husband have a king size bed, so there was plenty of room!
It was a really nice visit and I hope we can do it again soon!
My sisters' mom's husband brought up a bunch of
oysters this is my first bite ever. Not something I'd
be excited to eat again, but they weren't horrible.
