Leah & I had a great weekend visiting some old friends at my college's Homecoming football game. Brett had to stay home because he was officiating his first-ever wedding. He was missed, but we had fun anyway. We drove down Friday night and came back Saturday after the game. I got to see Sarah & her family whom I haven't seen in over a year, and Mandy and her new beau, whom I haven't seen in almost a year and a half. And I haven't been back to Gardner-Webb since 2004!
Leah did so well on the trip. She slept most of the way there. She was a little difficult to put down at night. I think she sensed she wasn't in her usual bed, but she finally went to sleep around 11:30 and made it 4 hours before waking up again. At the game she slept for awhile (even through the multiple cannon blasts, cheering & loud noises-- we were winning!) then woke up & entered her cheerful, smiley mode. The trickiest part was the drive home. We had to stop twice on the way back-- once I had to go to the bathroom, so she woke up & realized she was hungry. Then another hour and she spit up all over herself. So then she was hungry again. A 4 hour trip turned into 6.5 hours. And there are not many baby-friendly fast food restaurants out there. I changed her once on the floor of a handicapped stall (right after I also pumped my hurting breasts-- where else am I supposed to do something like that?), and once on the bench of a booth. Now I'm going to research places that have family restrooms where I can pump, or at least restrooms that have changing tables!
