Busy week

Happy Monthday Maya! 3 months today, kinda nuts. 1 trimester down so to speak.

We made it home from Boston Thanksgiving yesterday without any incidents - puppers and Maya asleep in the back which is really the best way to travel. Thanksgiving was great - Maya got to meet her cousins Anna and Noah who loved her and wanted to kiss and touch her, it was very sweet. Cousin Nathan, 5 months senior to Maya was very sweet as well and would reach for her when we put them down together. We also caught up with some of Brian's high school friends so they could meet her and spent the rest of the time chasing after kids and dogs, cooking, eating, cooking and eating some more and hanging out with the Hennessey gang.

This week is all about getting ready for our big trip down south - to Uruguay that is. Maya and I leave next Monday and the packing list for travel with baby seems endless. Luckily we were able to borrow a carseat and crib from cousins so I don't need to transport those. Maya is becoming ever more active however and I will need to bring her bouncy seat so that I can put her down at times. She's very close to flipping over and did yesterday although it was somewhat of a fluke. Another perhaps fluke was that she slept from 6:30pm to about 5am without interruption - who knows if that will last. It was good timing though as Brian started a new job today and the extra sleep was useful for his first day. Lots of errands to run today and the weather looks like it will cooperate - 50 degrees and sunny.
