We traveled to Augusta, Georgia for a dermatology interview two weeks ago. We quickly learned how having a baby can prolong a simple road trip. What should have been a 5-6 hour trip from Murfreesboro (after staying the night at my Dad's house) to Augusta became a 9 hour trip after 3 stops to feed Isaiah. Driving on the interstate really seemed to bother Isaiah as well. He would be in a light sleep with little bouts of crying every few minutes for hours at a time on the road, and then he'd calm down almost immediately after getting off at an exit. Chris' family traveled down from Hickory to see us since we were much closer to them there than in Memphis. Isaiah got to meet Aunt Melissa and Uncle Jason for the first time. Here are some pictures with the family:

For the trip back to Memphis, we had planned to drive through Tennessee and stay a night at my Dad's and a night at my Mom's. However, a big snow storm pushing through the state changed our plans and we took the route through Birmingham and up through Mississippi. We got home to a beautiful wintry scene. In the picture below it looks like snow, but it was pretty much all ice. Seconds after putting Isaiah in his pram to go outside and check out the ice, he fell asleep. Clearly he wasn't too excited about this winter wonderland.
Isaiah fast asleep in his pram. Notice Frankie in the background with the tennis ball in his mouth ready to play.
I had to include the shot below of Isaiah smiling up at his Daddy. How sweet! Those smiles are getting more and more frequent.
I go for my six week postpartum visit tomorrow, and I'm hoping they'll take me off the labetalol for my blood pressure. Isaiah will be seven weeks old this Friday...so hard to believe! I'll try to update again soon, but this little man is keeping me pretty busy.
