Phew, Home At Last

After an entire day of flying, we made it safely home last night. The flight home was better than the outbound one. Except of course, US Airways is hard to travel on. We flew out on United and back on US Airways. United has their crap together better than US Airways, but they have a lot less room on the plane. US Airways tried to separate the girl and I on our Philly to San Diego leg. Yes, for those of you that don't know, I sprung for the extra ticket for the girl to make things easier. US Airways decided that I could sit in row 19 while the girl sat in row 31. Um. No. They fixed it by moving me to the last row (Row 33). Of course then they tried to double book one of those seats and expected me to just let go of her seat -with no offer of compensation or anything. Um no. After that debacle was handled, the flight was actually pretty smooth. Annmarie was a little cranky about an hour after we took off, but we were in the back row so I was able to isolate her enough to get her to go to sleep. We both slept for about two hours! Score! She cuddled up in a ball on her own seat and slept so peacefully. I felt bad when she woke up and had bloodshot eyes. But, she was in a much better mood. She did get a little restless around hour 4, but she made it thru. It was almost 9pm by the time I got her home, fed, bathed and down for the night. She was out like a rock.

Baby Girl loves pizza crust!
Today, was a typical adjustment day. She was very used to people holding her all day, so she expected it again today. She didn't want tummy time, but after a little prodding, we got her back into the swing of things. Her teeth/gums are bothering her a lot. I broke down and loaded her up with Orajel today.  Sore gums may have stopped us from taking a walk, but it didn't stop us from sitting outside and blowing bubbles! Tomorrow we are going to try and make a Mommy and Me class! I missed class on Saturday.
