Traveling with a Newborn?
Hi mommas,
I'm super old around here ... 10years out, baby #3, and with this pregnancy I've lurked a lot but haven't posted in a looong time. Baby J is due any minute, I"m dialating and effaced and all that good stuff. SO, my money's on this week.
Now, here's the deal. DH's BFF of thirty years is getting married on May 25th in Vegas. He is in the wedding. FLights are booked and non smoking suite is secured. Am I insane to think that I can travel with Babe if he's a week old? My two others could stay with gramma - no problem. We love this couple dearly, they are such good friends, but I am not sure if I am thinking clearly. It may just be that I am being super selfish and need someone to smack me out of it. I know you all will be honest. lol
Thoughts?
I know how badly you want to go...I would too...but honestly, I wouldn't. I wouldn't expose a baby that young to all the germs you encounter on an airplane, in a hotel room, at a wedding.
Congrats on the newbie...I remember you from way back when and you just had the one. Now you're having your third and my LO is 3.

Claire~ Are you nuts?? lol! A one week old really only sleeps, nurses, and poops. So I am sure it can be done. If you had easy deliveries with the L's than hopefully this little boy will be an easy one too. I know after my 2nd I was sore as shiz and swollen like no other! I would be worried about sickness and germs around the baby. I have 3 girls now and i am always tired so I would say stay home let the L's go to Gma's and you and that little boy get some sleep!!!

i agree with the ladies. a week old is so fragile. and traveling?????? the airports are full of ppl not to mention trapped on a plane with ppl who have god knows what. no no no no. i think your friends would understand if you didn't go. trust me. just send your husband. don't expose your little one to that.
