4 Months!

Ava went in for her 4 month check-up yesterday. She weighs 14lbs. and is 24 inches long. She rolled over for the first time last Sunday and her doctor said she's a head of the gang and we may even see her crawling soon. He said she can have baby food and rice cereal. Holy moly, time has flown by and even in a matter of weeks I've seen her get bigger and learn new things. She can grasp toys and move them toward her mouth, she can swat at things, and her new favorite thing is to make spit bubbles. This is her before the bad lady gave her shots and made my baby girl cry.

We are going on our first road trip tomorrow to reunite with daddy. Thinking about what I needed to pack gave me major anxiety. I pretty much packed the entire house up it feels like. You have to remember to pack diapers, clothes, bottles, bath stuff, toys, sleeping stuff, strollers, carseats, and the list goes on and on. On top of that, I have to pack for myself and for Paxx. I think it took me 4 hours to get it all done and I still feel like I'm forgetting something.

We are leaving in about 7 hours. I should be getting my rest because I'm taking the first shift but I can't sleep for some reason. I really hope we have a peaceful trip and Ava makes it all 81/2 hours without a major melt-down. She usually is good in the car, but she's never been in her carseat for this long before. Wish me luck.

Noah is the bestman for his bestman so he is in charge of the bachelor party. They are renting a huge 40 person party bus for 8 hours on Saturday night. I'm sure he'll be useless on Sunday. I'll be making my rounds visiting friends and family with the baby. There are alot of people that haven't met Ava yet so I'm happy they will get a chance to meet my monkey girl.

I guess I need to hit the sheets. NOT looking forward to this drive. Especially the drive home on Monday.
