1500 Miles in 9 Days

If you couldn't tell from the title, we haven't been bloggin as we've been traveling. See vacations part I, II & III for full details. We traveled just over 1500 milesi n 9 days and Isabel was quite happy to get back home to her own bed and not have to spend countless hours in her carseat.

This past Sunday, we did make a quick trip to Springfield, VA to visit with my old roommate Dave, who moved to Kentucky a few years ago. Here's a sweet shot of Isabel and Dave.


Monday Isabel and I headed to the cardiologist for what we hope is her last checkup. Her EKG looked normal and her heart sounded good. As a final precaution the doctor prescribed another 24 holter monitor. Isabel definitely put up a fight this go around and expressed her displeasure with the wires during the day and night. She was much happier Tuesday morning, as I think she had grown used to the wires. Here is our little bionic baby...quite a change from the baby seen here https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3oeA-sGH5hxk01CE2lZMm9ua2mdUmKJJzRmM242DTgwmaUBXeFwnSebIIJKCkKNpBf4px0NXxsy4KI59NVbh21CDnlwqGCoFTlQ4jbfSZXuG9VUJzDEeVanW4D0fHgoZpRavHguGSATQm/s1600-h/Bionic+baby_2175+(Large).JPG



And with that its back to life as usual. I promised Isabel we wouldnt' be taking any major car trips for a long time...though I'm not sure she believes me. Isabel had just started sleeping through the night before we left for vacation and I'm hopeful that being back at home (and without wires attached) that she will come to learn and love sleeping through the night.
