4th of july

It was an adventure for sure. Before I left i am pretty sure I googled everything possible on how to travel with an infant. My awesome co-worker warned me "she will shit and vomit everywhere be prepared...pack extra outfits and then pack one more. Pack extra for you too". So I did. The night before we left I put all the good vibes into the universe...please don't let me hate my child at the end of this. Kidding I could never hate her, her baby screams on the other hand I could do without. So with car packed and baby ready to go we got in the car and drove 14 hours. I swear my good vibes worked because she had no vomit and no blow outs. Thank you Jesus lol and she only fussed when we had about 2 hours left in the trip so we stopped and ate let her stretch. When we were done we wrapped Her up and she fell asleep. I am so lucky. I was preparing for disaster but she proved me wrong....thankfully.
  Our first day there was nice. Everyone wanted to hold her and swoon over the baby so I let them. Gave me time to eat and drink (#1 mom over here..hey mommy likes her drinks). It was good seeing family and interesting meeting new people...thats all I will say about that. With the exception of if you feel the need to insult Hispanics make sure there aren't any in the room...or that her momma who will kick your ass cant hear you. But I just keep my focus on my baby, talked about my job, compared gross work stories with my cousin and did my best not to let my anxiety get to me. There were a few times I needed to step away to calm down because I could feel it starting to brew but at least I caught it before it went into a full blown attack.
The ride home went better than the ride there. Athena slept a lot and just played with her toys. She's awesome. She did get constipated when we got home but other than that picture perfect. I couldn't have done it without bro either. She kept my anxiety down and made those saying racist comments incredibly uncomfortable which if you have never seen the look of someone realizing "oh i should watch what I say" come across their face, it's pretty amazing. He's my rock and I seriously would have been lost without him or my one aunt who helped me while I was there. You know who you are 💜 sorry for the short post I'll be able to write more later but for now it's work time.
