preparations...

look at all the wonder and anticipation in those big eyes! what new sensory wonders await baby eliana in the big city??

today eliana and i will be taking our first airplane adventure together. we leave from missoula, fly to salt lake, hang there for an hour or so, and then fly into burbank. i've been pretty anxiety filled for the past 24 hours or so, but am finally starting to feel more secure about the whole thing. i hate to think of being alone without jeff, navigating through airports, diaper changings and feedings on my own. but i know that my little girl will be a rock star (especially if my breasts are readily avaliable at most times...). that brings me some anxiety too, though, because i'm used to breastfeeding in missoula, a very breastfeeding friendly spot. i remember a story for the news a few years back about a woman getting irate on the plane when someone by her was offended by her nursing her baby in public. if i recall, she was eventually escorted off the airplane. yikes. i know nothing like that awaits us, but i do hope we are seated by good, kind folk. i generally have good luck on flights to and from missoula, but the larger planes are a bit of a crap shoot. regardless, it will be another mighty adventure to add to our story!
