Brazil
Oh where do I begin. Luca and I got back on Tuesday from Brazil. We had a wonderful time there despite the fact that the weather was mostly cloudy and rainy. I think it rained more in the two weeks we were there than it did in the 6 months I lived there. We rented an apartment on the beach with Amauri's grandparents, mother, step-father and sisters. The family absolutely loves Luca (who doesn't) and had a great time fussing over him. Luca didn't do as well as we expected. He just seemed to be out of sorts for the whole time. The flights made him extremely gassy and he wouldn't sleep. He was happy when awake but was hell to put down.
He reverted back to waking up all night long and wanting to feed. So being that we wanted at least some sleep on our vaca we gave in and he slept in our bed and ate whenever he wanted to.
New Year's was fun... we spent it on the beach with thousands of other people. Luca slept quietly in the stroller while tons and tons of fireworks went off about 20 feet from him. He woke up after and we got some really cute pics.
Unfortunately, I left both cameras in Brazil so I can't post photos until Amauri gets back next week.
The trip home with Luca went better than I thought, or I should say I handled it better than I thought. We had a horrible 6 hour layover in Atlanta where Luca lost his frickin mind and screamed as though I was killing him. The entire airport just kept staring at me. Luckily there were two nice women who offered to help as I am sure I looked a complete mess. I hadn't slept, my tank top was so streched out from him pulling it that my bra was popping out everywhere, I had bags under my eyes, my hair was supposed to be in a ponytail but Luca had pulled half of it out and I smelled like puke.
I can truly say I will never travel that far with a baby this young again. But it was worth it as Luca got to spend time with is aunts, grandparents and great grandparents.
Since we've been back he is also out of sync. He only ate 2 ounces yesterday from 5am until 4pm! He just wouldn't take a bottle. My poor mom and sister in law had a heck of a day. I am hoping today he does better.
I will post photos as soon as possible.
