Making a List, Checking it twice...

Tomorrow is the BIG day, Bear and I will be embarking on our first flight together. I am a little nervous about it; which means I won't sleep well tonight because I will be thinking about every little thing. I have us both packed except a few things which I will add in the am. I have made my packing list and checked it twice, to try and bring some ease to my nonstop worrying about what I might need or missed in packing. I love my Dad especially when he goes, pack light Jilly. You are going to Dallas, if you need anything you can just buy it :)! I definitely know who I get my shopping habits from :)

I am grateful to have my dad here, as I called American to see if they have curbside check in and apparently they don't at DTW, so my dad is going to help me get the bags all checked in. I almost was going to have him leave today thinking I could take care of it, but thought I should double check and glad I did. I was debating going back and forth between the stroller or carrier, but have decided to go with the carrier so we shall see how that works out! I am also interested to see how the trusted traveler line goes. Greg and I have our Nexus so with the Nexus you get enrolled in the trusted traveler program, from what I understand should really expedite your wait time thru security, I will report on that after the trip.

I posted about how I was looking for a cute pair of sneakers and found these really cute ones at Tory Burch yesterday, and better yet they were on sale!

I am going to sport them thru the airport tomorrow! I am so excited about my new chic sneaks!

On another note, Bear had his 8 week appointment today which is where he got his shots :(. Little man did great! I was just at the doctor two weeks ago, because I was worried about him not eating the full 10 min on each side and refusing to eat sometimes. I thought it might be reflux, but the dr said let's wait and see what his weight is at his 8 week appt. Well, he weighed 10.3 lbs when I was there almost two weeks ago and today he weighed in at 12.2lbs. Little man is eating just fine then :)! He is growing soo fast, and I can't wait for all of our family and friends to see him in Dallas. Here are some recent pics of the little man:

 For any new moms out there, I'm in love with this wipe down changing pad. My sister's friend Meg had it, and Jodi was so jealous she didn't have it when she had my nephew so she ordered it for me. It has been a life saver! Especially with the pee that sometimes goes all over and not in the diaper or when he had the stomach bug and I would have projectile poop before I could get another diaper down there. Basically, this has been a life saver, so easy to wipe down after accidents!


Ignore my extremely awful pic of myself, I posted mainly to see Bear's big cheeks! Can't resist kissing these cheeks all day long! Ugh, I seriously can't believe I'm posting this pic of myself but oh well. This is mommy after a long day of playing and no make up :).

We recently purchased him a few things from RH baby one being this adorable Puppy chair which he is in love with. He has loved laying/sitting on it since day 1:

I love the bottom pic of him all sprawled out in his white onesie :)!

Please say a prayer for us tomorrow for a smooth flight and continue to pray for those affected in Oklahoma by that awful Tornado. I was a wreck last night watching the news. Being a new mommy I could only put myself in those parent's shoes whose kids were in that elementary school. I just can't imagine the fear that the kids and parents were going through. 

Excited to be in Dallas and be with family and friends, be on the lookout for our Texas Posts!
