First road trip

Todd and I decided before Aubrey was born we would make a trip to Raleigh for his dad's side of the family to meet her. So this weekend was the big trip. Of course, it looked like we were moving out and back with all the stuff, but that's just what happens with a baby. She did great on the car ride up there. She slept the entire way, which was very nice. But, we paid for it that night. She was so fussy after we got there, which did not make for nice visiting with the family. I felt sort of bad for his family for having to listen to her fuss, but I warned them it might happen since she had her shots on Thursday. Saturday morning we went to meet Todd's godmother at IHOP and again Aubrey was very good. But, it went downhill from there on out. One of Todd's best friends brought his new girlfriend down with him along with a lot of Todd's family members. Aubrey got passed from person to person for hours and she did not like it one bit. About 8 pm, she just started screaming and would not let up, so I ended up taking her back to his cousins to chill. As soon as we got it quiet and I turned on my sound machine, she was out. She was just too overstimulated and worn out from all that attention. It didn't help that she was gassy either. She slept pretty well both nights so that made things much easier. The trip back was pretty uneventful, so all in all it wasn't a bad trip. We hope she will be a little happier when we go back for Christmas so everyone can see more of her beautiful smile.
