Instead, I'm setting some peaceful and happy intentions for our traveling experience:
- Daniel and I will arrive to the airport rested and on time.
- Security will move quickly, and I will feel comfortable and confident as I pass through the screening(s).
- We will find a comfortable seat on the plane, ready to carry us to our destination.
- The person who sits next to us will be friendly and respectful.
- The flight attendants and people sitting around us will be supportive of (or indifferent to) breastfeeding.
- Daniel will nurse and sleep comfortably and happily throughout the flights.
- When he is awake, he will be amused by all the new things and people he can experience around him.
- The flight will go smoothly, so we will be able to walk in the aisle and visit the bathroom as often as we need to.
- We will arrive in our destination safely and on time.
- Our luggage will arrive with us and in good condition.
- If something happens that I'm not expecting, I will be able to handle it with grace and a sense of humor.
- Traveling is fun!
One more bullet point: This will be an adventure shared between you and Daniel that you will cherish and remember forever. :)

ReplyDeleteGood luck with your flight. I traveled by air quite a bit with my first son. Make sure you are ready to nurse as plane ascends & descends to help your son's ears. I would have a pacifier or bottle of water ready in case he's totally not interest in nursing to wiggle around in his mouth to get him to suck/open close mouth. Sometimes in the cramped seating arrangements it is hard to get them sucking on the breast right when you want them to, but a fake nipple (even if you don't regularly use one) is easier to get baby sucking/opening mouth to avoid ear pain.
Hi Amy, Love your blog, you have an excellent voice! How did the flying go? We flew last week to/from Mexico and it was disastrous, but here we are now, Alive and Well. =)
ReplyDelete@Danica: Thank you! So glad to hear you're reading. The flights went very well, actually. I'll be posting about it tomorrow. =)
