We made it!

Greetings from NJ! We survived our transatlantic flight pretty well. We had debated about whether to bring DS's car seat on board because we were pretty sure it was the only way he would sleep. Since we had 4 seats and were in 2 rows, we decided to go for it since we could put one of us on front of DS and he wouldn't be kicking a stranger. It paid off because he took a 2 HOUR NAP!!! That helped tremendously on a 9 hour flight.

We've had a few days to recover from the time change and DS is pretty much back in his routine. DD, not so much. I'm more sleep deprived now than I was when she was a newborn. She's having a tough time with the time change and she's cutting 3 teeth. It is terrible for both of us. Thank goodness I do have help here. DH took both kids when they woke up this morning and I put in ear plugs and went back to sleep for 2 hours. 

I hope sweetpea and any other recent movers are settling in well!

Have a great almost-Christmas-weekend everyone!

Glad you got there and that DS slept some!  2 hours on a plane is amazing!  Hope DD adjusts soon and you can have a great Christmas!

so glad you survived your flight!  the car seat sounds like a smart idea.  next time we need to have plane sleep, i think we'll do the same.

good luck settling in and getting dd on the new time!

YAY! So glad you are back safe and sound! I am so in agreement about carseats on planes. On our trip to San Fran last April we totally dragged both convertible seats through security so we could have that "peace" on the plane. TOTALLY worth it! (and so much safer)

 We are settling in here in Kansas. We are pretty much completely unpacked, have a tree up, and even hosted a dinner party for friends last night. We have now been in our new place for a 8 days :). Our neighbors are great and we have beene exploring all over the place. The only thing I'm looking forward to is preschool starting in January. Kate really thrives in that routine and I am hoping it is the last little thing that can get her settled. She has been a little anxious since we moved :(.

Welcome to NJ!!!

I'm glad to hear the flight wasn't unbearable. I hope DD cuts her teeth quickly so you both can get back into the swing of things.
