We are headed off to Ohio on Tuesday to see Young's family. His cousin is getting married so we thought it was a good opportunity to go see his whole family in one shot. And the kids are small enough, they should do fine on the plane. We are all excited about the trip but not excited about packing for it. Not only do I have to pack for Young and myself, but now I have two little babies to pack for. How do you pack an entire nursery in one suitcase!! I've gotten tons of advice from other mom's in the twins club about packing and air travel...here are a few tips.
-Dress your twins alike for the cuteness factor.
-Bring extra clothing for you and your babies...they might get motion sickness and puke all over you.
-Dress lightly b/c you will sweat every step of the way, from security check to running to make a connection or (heaven forbid) walking your screaming baby up and down the isle in the Baby Bjorn.
-Feed the babies or use a pacifier when taking off and landing so their ears will pop and not hurt.
-Beg to get a row with an empty seat so you can take a car seat on. It helps to have a place to put one baby while you and your husband pass the other back and forth.
-Take a changing pad...airplane bathrooms don't have changing tables.
-Bring candy/treats for the flight attendants and earplugs for your surrounding neighbors...most will think it's funny, but you never know.
-Remember it's a finite period of time and you will never see these people again
-Baby Benadryl
I'll try to do a few post while we are there but not sure what the internet connection will be like. If not I'll have a full update when we get home! Wish us luck!
