Relief

One of the bittersweet things that happened on this trip is Milo’s reaction to Lynn. Lynn is one of my favorite people in the world, so when Milo decided to cry every time Lynn held her, it was kind of disappointing. I kept trying to tell her that Aunt Lynn is going to be one of her favorite people, too, but she wouldn’t hear logic. Today, though, at lunch, Milo was pretty content in Lynn’s arms. I felt a little relief.

We said our goodbyes to Mom and Dad today, and Aunt Janie et al. came by to say goodbye as well. Milo had a lot of awake time this morning, which was great because everyone wanted to hold and talk to her. Natalie finally got to hold her while she wasn’t crying, the girls got in a few more baby kisses, and Milo wasn’t very fussy at all. On the way to lunch, she fell asleep in the carseat. Usually she doesn’t sleep in the carseat long, but today she did, and I was relieved.

We flew back to SF in the afternoon/evening. I was nervous about the flight because it was in the evening, and I wasn’t sure how Milo was going to do this time since there was no guarantee that she’d sleep much. I worried for nothing, as it turns out, because my girl slept the ENTIRE FLIGHT. A little bit of stirring a couple of times, I fed her a couple of times, but overall she just slept and slept. Again, relief.
