Is actually not that bad. The only thing I can recommend is when flying alone to purchase a seat for the baby. Especially on a trip longer than two hours.
The flight from Providence to Midway was great. It was like 1/2 full, so the baby got his own seat and I got to bring his carseat with us. Overall, I have an awesome baby. He screamed only while we were waiting on the ramp to board the plane. The reason for this was he was strapped in his carseat and we weren't moving. As soon as I pulled his seat from the stroller and began carrying him, he was awesome. And remained awesome.
The flight from Midway to Seattle was good; Jack slept most of the trip and had just a quick fussy period while fighting sleep. The bad part was holding the sleeping baby in a position for over three hours while fighting sleep myself. Keeping Jack in a comfortable position as not to drop him on the filthy plane floor was tricky. I was able to place him on the middle seat and take a quick nap myself. However, being the paranoid mama that I am, I was unable to leave him for fear that he would roll off the seat.
We got in a bit late and the Seattle airport, for whatever reason, was the busiest airport in the world last night. It was nuts. By the time we actually left the airport, it was nearly 11 (west coast time...) I was STARVING. We stopped at McDonalds and after eating and a quik visit, Jack and I finally got to sleep around 1am. This is 4am MY TIME. I was so tired. Then, Jack decided it was awesome to wake up at 6:30. Great. He actually "slept in" beause his normal wake up time is around 8. However, he refused to go back to sleep.
I was able to get a nap from around 8ish til noon. Nana fed him breakfast and gave him juice, he took a nap and then we played after I woke up. He's down for another nap now. It's been nice and low key so far. Rainy and cold, just like Seattle is supposed to be. I miss my husband and my friends, but I'm determined to have a good trip.
