traveling with an infant

Before Amelia was born, we planned a trip to Texas and Florida so we could introduce her to my family. My grandma, on Carl's side, is getting older and doesn't travel much any more.  She just so happens to be staying with my mom this summer, so Brandon and I jumped at the opportunity to visit with her.  We planned the trip for 6 weeks after her due date, and assumed that everything would be just fine.

Amelia came almost a week late (on my dad's birthday!) and I had a few complications after delivery making my recovery take a lot longer than expected.  I've just started to walk long distances - and our trip is this Thursday.  I can't tell you how many times we've gone back and forth, trying to decide on whether or not to take the trip.  There are many pro's and many con's to both, but in the end we decided to go.  Texas and Florida or bust!

I'm very nervous to travel with an infant, but all should go well....especially if there's a lot of this going on:

...and not so much of this :)
