Up North!

Kate, the baby in my tummy and I made our way up north to see JoJo and Papa...we had a blast, Kate does take after me, 2 of the 4 nights she partied, danced, danced and danced!!! JoJo and Papa took her to the beach, we had a picnic, saw LOTS of family and friends, good times!

Side note 1: We had a 6:00 am flight on our way there, I packed the car, all was set by 3:45 am...went into wake Kate up and noticed I locked my keys in the trunk, NIGHTMARE....what to do, can't take a cab bc all my stuff is in the trunk....so I called the police and they came and unlocked the car for me....what a morning...and off to the airport we went.

Side note 2: We had at 5:45 am flight on out way home....got to Detroit fine, Kate was perfect on the plane, then we boarded the Cleveland flight....about 30 minutes into the 35 minute flight...I noticed we flew above the Cleveland airport but then took off again, circling, circling, back and forth, thoughts...what aren't we landing??? Maybe there is someone important landing so we can't, etc. anyway, about 30 minutes later the flight attendant came on and let us know that they didn't think the landing gear was down, so we were burning off fuel for our emergency landing...and that we would do a couple more "fly by's" past the tower to see if they could see if the landing gear was down...but in the meantime, we need to get ready to "BRACE FOR IMPACT" upon landing and go over all emergency protocol...WHAT??????????????????????????????? I immediately started to cry, I had Kate and the new baby both with me, so the FA was wonderful as was everyone else on the plane, they made me move seats, to a safer spot, put blankets all around mt stomach/seatbelt so the baby was safe and blankets all around Kate....finally we went to land and they said "BRACE FOR IMPACT" (btw, next time you are on a plane, check out how you are supposed to brace for impact with a lap child...not possible when you are pregnant, so they wanted me to have someone else hold Kate....NO WAY!) anyway, all was well we landed without incident...all emergency vehicle were there and all runways had been cleared for us....needless to say, we delayed a lot of flights :)

Guess I will stop traveling until the baby comes!
