The life of new parents

We drove to Council Bluffs this weekend to visit family. Maya did pretty well in the car for the 3 hour drive. She was definitely ready to get out of her car seat, which we did a few times along the way, but all in all, it wasn’t too bad. She slept a large part of the way home and only pooped through one outfit (and on mommy’s lap in the Jeep). But we don’t let little things like baby poops slow us down, we’re experienced travelers now & we know Maya likes to clear her system while on the road, so we come prepared.

Grandma Jacobsen got some quality Maya time in. She stayed with us at our hotel Saturday night as well.

We spend Saturday evening out at Aunt Barb’s house.

She was pretty tired from all the new faces and places, so she took a long nap with Mommy.

Here’s Daddy & Maya on Sunday morning in the hotel. They’re sitting at the desk checking their email, I’m sure Daddy has one setup for Maya already. If not, its only a matter of time. Once we all got ready we met the rest of the gang for some lunch. There was quite the turnout of people who wanted to meet Maya. It was a lot of fun, we were really glad we made the trip so Maya got to meet more of her extended family. The 3 hr. road trip was a success, so we’re going to be brave and try the 6 hr. road trip to Grandma’s for Easter. Wish us luck!
