Traveling with baby? What am I thinking?

So, on the 23rd Maya and I are going to be flying to Utah/Wyoming for two weeks. I am getting really excited for the trip...except the flying. Don't get me wrong, I love flying, but this time it is going to be just me and a still colicy baby. Oh no! Help me!

So I really do need help. What have you mothers done while flying with a young baby? What do I need to bring on the trip? What do I need to bring on the plane? Any suggestions on the whole of the trip would be appreciated!

PS-Visit Branchs blog and see the video of Maya flipping over. I will post it on my own website later.

MOOO!

I love Branch so much! I don't know anyone else who would be willing to make a fool of themselves for me!

Watch the video and you'll see why...



Oh and the coolest thing happened on Saturday! Maya rolled over from her tummy to her back for the first time! We are so proud of her! It is the most amazing thing to see her as she is growing and learning. She is such an amazing little person!

What am I thinking right now?

Branch and I have this strange connection with each other. We don't finish each other's sentences but we often say something and the other goes "I was just going to say that!" Or "I was just thinking that!" It seriously happens 2 or 3 times a day while watching tv, in the car, at the store. It is really strange.

Well, on Saturday I was talking to him about how cool that is that we can do that. He then says "What am I thinking now?" I look at him for a second and say, "Donuts". I am not exaggerating when I say his eyes got as big as saucers and he said "No way! I was thinking of donuts! You mentioned a couple of days ago you wanted donuts and now I want donuts!"

So we got donuts and hid them in the diaper bag and went to see a movie!

I just think it is so awesome that we do have this little "connection" with each other. I doesn't always work but we are amazed at how often it does! I love him so much!

Poor girl. Mom has too much fun at stores!

Coupons! Coupons! Coupons!

I have a friend named Tara. She and I are alike in a lot of ways. We are both 26. We both have husbands going into prosthetics and orthotics at UT Southwestern. We both just had babies.

She is super nice and is willing to do anything to help anyone. She is also the coupon queen. She is the only person I know that can walk into CVS, and walk out with a ton of stuff spending less than $10 bucks. So I have told her she needs to teach me. She is my sensee (sp?) and I am her grasshopper. We started our first lesson yesterday.

We went shopping at Target for diapers and wipes. She had coupons, upon coupons and a special offer to get a $5 gift card. I had to do three transactions in order to get this super deal. The first one was two diapers and two wipes which would have totaled $32 but with the coupons became $16, and I got two $5 gift cards. The next transaction I got two more gift cards and used the first two so the next two transactions totaled $6.50 each! So I got $96 (204 diapers and 1260 wipes) for $29 dollars plus $10 in gift cards! Crazy huh? She found out this deal from a website (www.couponforum.com) were people actually figure out the best deals and share it with everyone.

(This is only some of the diapers and wipes we bought yesterday!)

We also went to P&G Live, were they gave us a TON of coupons and shared their new products. Then we went to a nice restraunt with a $25 gift certificate for a meal over $35. Nice!

So I am going to learn all I can and save a ton of money! Yeah!
