First Trip

Eliza took her first trip out of NC this past week! Eliza and I decided at the last minute to hitch a ride with my mom and grandmother back to GA. I had been debating whether or not to take the trip since we were in flux about surgery and had several doctors appointments scheduled as well. About an hour before my family left we decided to be a little crazy and go anyways. Both of us needed a break from our house and from the doctors. We managed to pack everything and head out the door within an hour!

Unfortunately Eliza didn't get too much of a break from doctors. After a few bouts of vomiting and a couple phone calls with our doctors in NC we decided to take her in to see the pediatrician that I went to as a kid. That was pretty cool -- well as cool as taking your daughter to the doctor can be! Fortuneatly, the vomiting didn't end up being anything serious but it did interfere in our plans to see people we wanted to see though! Overall Eliza did pretty great with being in a new environment and ok with the drives. We really enjoyed getting to see some family and friends and are looking forward to our next trip to GA in a month or two!

Eliza weighed in at 10 pounds and 21 inches this week! She is almost twice her birth length and 8 times her birth weight now!



We were trying to pose a group shot - I thought this one was pretty funny! Sorry guys!

  3. We were so happy that all of you were able to make the trip down. It does make the house seem so empty without that wonderful 10 lb jewel. Everyone here sends prayers for tomorrow. Nana
