minnesota

We're leaving for Minnesota on Thursday. I know you're all jealous of the 20 hour drive we have ahead of us. I, however, am not. Morgan and I have made this drive a million times. Gwen has a couple of times (once in my belly at 7 months pregnant on the road trip from hell). This is Lanie's first time. Laine hates the car, and because of that, I am completely and utterly dreading this trip. Gwen will be fine. With the amazing hypnotizing power of the DVD player, Gwen will sit transfixed for the majority of time watching movies and occasionally screaming for candy or to go potty. Laine will cry for hours until I illegally breastfeed her in the backseat, while Morgan drives (I'm not about to stop, 20 hours is long enough, who wants to stop the car every 3 hours to feed your baby...NOT I). Morgan and Matt (thank the Lord he's coming. Now I won't have to drive) will rotate driving, sleeping, and reading dragon books. I will sit and and get trucker butt (when your butt goes numb from sitting too long...you all didn't know it had a name did you?) and will attempt to sleep...although with Laine crying and having to change the movie every 1.5 hours or so, I don't think that will be happening. After the drive, we will stay in MN for a little over a week, and when the week is up, we'll get back in the car and do it all over again. Oh Yay! I'm so excited.

I'm a firm believer of swaddling. The tighter the better. And when they get strong enough to get out, I believe in tying them up. I did with Gwen, and I'm doing it with Laine.

Can you tell which one is which?

and here are a few pictures just for fun.
