So our first Christmas with Gavin - what a special one! Here were a few of the highlights and lessons learned:- Never wake up Gavin in the car when driving long distances (i.e. 4-7 hours visiting family members)
- Nursing in the car with little room, folding down the front seat and changing Gavin's diaper - who knew Scott's car was made for babies
-Mommy does NOT need to take a separate bag of just her shoes
- Daddy learned the act of "perfection" when it came to packing ALL of our personal belongings for the trip PLUS adding in all of our gifts (we only had to keep a few things back at G&G's houses)
- Mommy does not need to pack EVERYTHING that Gavin owns (you just never know what you will need)
- Giving a bottle in the middle of the night from Daddy was a revelation for Mommy's sleep and mood
- Gavin could sleep in the pack-n-play or crib (THANK GOD - he is flexible from the start)
- Having an answer to "How long is Gavin sleeping at night?".... we just started making things up
- Listening to everyone's thoughts on who Gavin looks like (Illinois - looks like Stacy and Michigan - looks like Scott)
- Lastly, truly understanding the meaning of Christmas - love from family & friends and enjoying the best gift of all, our precious Gavin.
