We leave tomorrow at 8am to fly back to the US to see the family for the first time since Frostina was born.
I'm completely overwhelmed. Of course I'm super excited to finally get to introduce a living baby of mine to to the family.... but boy do babies need a lot of stuff. I have no idea how we're going to get all this stuff on the plane.
Yikes! Mama needs a glass of wine!
And I need to get packing too!
Dealing with the loss of a child is never easy, but it's even more difficult when you are an expat living far from home. Life will never be "normal" again and so now the challenge is to find my new normal. I am now back in the USA and the proud parent of two daughters, born using two different egg donors. "Frostina" and "Olea" are the loves of my life and I feel so grateful for the amazing women who donated their eggs and made my family possible.
When we traveled with our girls I asked my family (we were visiting family) to pick up diapers, formula and some baby food ahead of time. We also just borrowed pack n plays that family there had. It really is so much packing still but wishing you luck. Also sharing the blog post I wrote about my survival tips (http://adventuresinbabyfoodmaking.blogspot.com/2011/08/traveling-with-baby-food.html) You will have so much fun with Frostina and your family. Just enjoy and try not to stress. Safe travels :)
