...griff and graham: Visting Jai Jai and Pops (and Baylee)

I was getting a little restless and Brandon could use some solid sleep and focused work time (and overtime) so I drove to my parent's house 500 miles away. Me and a newborn. Not the brightest idea, but I figured I'd be in my house with a colicky baby or in the car with one. Feeding and diaper changing would be a little more challenging, but as long as I didn't give myself a schedule, I could do it. The 7ish hour drive took me 10 hours, but we made it safely and Griff was actually really good.

Road Trip Highlights
No traffic
Griffin slept more than I expected
I didn't get tired at all
My dad not worrying about the trip because we didn't tell him I was coming
Surprising my dad and introducing him to his new grandson

Road Trip not-so-highlights
Biggest spit-up EVER - all over himself, the car, me, my shirt, my cleavage.
Forgetting to hook up my breastfeeding bra after the spit-up incident and walking into a gas station with bulky bra material bulging under my shirt on my right boob.
Wendy's - no Ketchup, no straw, no napkins
Diarrhea - me, not him (Thank you Wendy's)
Few exits with bathrooms from Richfield to Green River. Ouch
Less than 10 minutes to my parents Griffin woke up and loudly insisted on eating right then (he gets that from me). Had to pull over to feed him for 30 minutes. So close

The week in Colorado with my mom, dad, and Baylee was awesome. Good to have a change of scenery, adults to talk to most of the day and outings with adults. I didn't take many pics.

My mom drove home with me which made going back so much easier than the drive out. We surprised Brandon by coming in a day early. Griff and I missed him. My dad and Baylee came a day later to spend the weekend at our place for the baby blessing.
