Road Trip!

Hannah and I took our first road trip a couple weeks ago.  We had a baby shower to attend for my brother and SIL, Joe and Lindsey.  Weston was on call and couldn't come.  So my dad picked us up and drove us back to Franklin.  She did so good on the drive and did this pretty much the whole way there.  We only had to stop two hours into the drive for a diaper change and bottle, and we were on the road again.

Bringing Hannah "home", she had plenty of family members to meet.  Uncle Joe and Aunt Lindsey hadn't met baby girl yet.  Their baby girl, Caroline, is due any day now!  We're excited to have our girls so close in age!

Hannah also got to meet two sets of my aunts and uncles.  This is her great Aunt Susan who happened to be traveling from Florida back to Indiana and wanted to meet baby girl.

The baby shower was a couples baby shower on Sunday, and it was a great time showering Caroline with all the necessities and more.  We got Hannah all dressed up for Caroline's party.

 
We played a guys versus girls charades game of baby phrases which was pretty humorous.  After the party, Uncle Joe got a little snuggle time with Hannah before saying goodbye.  I think he's ready for his little girl.

After the shower, Hannah still had family to meet.  So we ran over to meet some of her daddy's family at Weston's uncles house.  She met her aunt, two great uncles, one great aunt, one second cousin, one great-great aunt, and one third cousin.  Phew!  Hannah is so loved.  She is the first great grandchild for the family.

 

 

I think we summed up between the people at church, the baby shower, and her uncle's house, she had 17 people hold her.  It was a big day for her, and she slept for 6 hours that night!  It.felt.amazing.y'all.  Now in the past week she has even slept a couple of 7 hour stretches.  Last night was not one of those nights *yawn* but we will try again tonight.

Before we left to head back to Franklin, we had a girls day with both of Hannah's grandmas and her soon to be Aunt Jade.

Then we hit the road to meet Weston half way between Franklin and Birmingham.  We only had one hiccup on the way.  We got a flat tire on my dad's brand new car.  So while Dad changed the tire, I got Hannah out of her car seat to stretch.  Then we got back on the road pretty quickly and had to drive a little slower on the spare tire on the interstate, but we made it to meet daddy.

On my way, Daddy!

 

Looking forward to many more road trips with my girl.  And special thanks to my dad for driving all that way for us to come visit.
