1st road trip!!!

Well it wasn't a very long road trip, only about 2 hours but it was our first trip out of the city and kind of our first camping trip!! On August long weekend hubbies family has always gone to play slow pitch in a small town 2 hours away (Edson) and this year was no different. We packed up the car with Hubby, Jacob, the dog (Roxie), my Dad and of course myself with all our luggage and I gotta tell you the car was full!!! I can't imagine what we would do if we were going away longer then 3 days !!! We already had to ask the in laws to take the stroller, baby tent thing and our chairs with them in the truck!! The weekend was good, Edson is pretty close to the mountains and you could just barely see them from the ball diamonds. Unfortunately it was cold and rainy for most of the weekend and of course I packed more onesies then sleepers. The only nice day we had was the day we headed home .... of course! Our team one 2 out of 4 games, not bad for a team that only plays once a year!! :) Jacob was a good boy (of course - he he) and seemed to really enjoy everyone holding him cause when we got home that's all he wanted me to do!! I also must say that I think he is one of those people that can only use his bathroom at home and doesn't like going #2 away from home cause that was literally the first thing he did when we walked in the door!!! It's not like he didn't go #2 while we were away but they were just little ones, we figured it was because we didn't want to use the town water for his bottles so we were using bottled water and thought that the change in water was why he wasn't quite himself, now I just figure it's cause he was away from home!!

Today we had our 6 week appointments, they weighed Jacob in at 11lbs 14oz (almost 5lbs heavier then at birth!!) and he is now just over 22" long (3" longer then at birth). Everything was good with him, she never said anything was wrong so I can only assume he is healthy!? Same goes for me, she gave me the "OK" to go back to "our normal activities" - I think she meant sex but instead said "like exercise" - cause why else would she say "our" and include my hubby in that sentence? he he Our next appointment will be in about 6 weeks for his 3 month appointment, our doctor gave me the OK to use baby Tylenol or Advil if I think it's necessary which is good cause we might need to use it next week when he goes for his shots? I think next week is going to be a hard week for me and a little stressful, with Jacob getting his shots and I'm not too sure hubby will be there with me cause there is a big race that day, my surgery the day after his shots and I'm not sure how long recovery is supposed to be and then hubby has to work the weekend at the track so I will be pretty much on my own after just having surgery!!! :o It will be interesting and hopefully I won't be in too much pain?

Yesterday was the first time I have ever left Jacob with a sitter (kinda). I finally made my appointment for my pedicure and my girlfriend met me at the mall, so while I was getting my toes done she walked the mall with Jacob. It took an hour and a half to do my toes and the last half hour was the hardest!! Hubby doesn't understand why it is hard for me to leave him with other people and I really can't explain it but I just feel like I should enjoy every minute I can now cause pretty soon I think he will be "Daddy's boy" and will be outside wanting to help Dad all the time?

Here is one of my favorite pics from the weekend, hopefully you enjoy it as well!?
