Well we survived Sam’s first road trip! He actually slept almost the whole 2.5 hour car ride, which was great. We relaxed in our hotel room last night and have a busy busy day scheduled for today! We’ll be checking out the hotel gym and we have a breakfast with Philips Avent and a day of roaming the BlogHer expo. I’m hoping to dip into the pool for a bit, too, and see how Sam likes it! Zack’s parents are arriving in the afternoon to look after little Sam Sam, so we can have our hands free for a bit. Thank God for them! Although, Sam is definitely a hit. ;) I walked around for a good solid couple of hours wearing Sam, and ooh boy, talk about an accidental workout! I think I’ll be feeling that tomorrow. Hope you all have a great weekend! Be sure to follow along on Instagram if you aren’t already!
Any recommendations for a good place to eat in San Jose?
Do you have fun plans for the weekend?

I LOVE aacidental workouts.. they don’t even feel legit and they’re so good.
Right?? It’s so great to not have to stress about working out, since it just happened naturally thanks to alllll of the walking!

Have so much fun! PS – love your “donut” graphic tee! Where is that one from?
Isn’t it adorable?! It’s from Arsenic & Lace! I linked them above (thanks to you! I had forgotten to!)

Enjoy your time!!! And omg I love that shirt “meh”. I’m always saying that haha.
haha isn’t it hilarious?! I was like, YES, a shirt that says “meh” on it!!! I had to. ;)

Random question, we’ll be traveling with our newborn this fall and am curious what you brought for Sam to sleep in (i.e. pack’n play, bassinet, etc…) while staying in the hotel?
Have a fabulous trip!
Woooo I have to say, traveling with a baby is so fun but really exhausting too! Ha, but such is LIFE with a newborn, so you know. ;) We debated what to bring for him to sleep in, since his bassinet wouldn’t fit in the car, and ended up just bringing his bouncer (we have this one–> http://amzn.to/1oyEgZi) which is what he napped in and then we had him sleep in the bed with us at night- it was king size and worked great!! Good luck in the fall with your little one!! It’s fun! :)

Have such a great time!
Thanks girl, it was a blast!

His smile is the best! Hope you are having lots of fun! What type of swaddle is that in the last picture? Any good?
Aww you’re so sweet! It was a blast!! :) It’s the Miracle Blanket and it is awesomeeee! My favorite! Now that he’s bigger, the aiden and anais swaddles don’t stay as well as they did before, so we have been using this one more and it’s literally the easiest to swaddle with and the most secure- he doesn’t break free! I def recommend!

Yes I’m also curious what you brought? Also, are pumping, and if so how are you storing your milk?
He napped in his bouncer and slept in the bed with us (it was a king and so spacious! I’m usually nervous about this, but it worked great!) And I pumped a couple of freezer bags for the trip and brought those in an ice chest for when I wasn’t there to feed him. It worked out perfectly since Zack’s parents were there and fed him a few times with a bottle and I nursed him the rest of the time. I also brought my pump for those feedings that I missed, but only had to pump once! :) It ended up that we had the perfect amount of milk for him- plus, we weren’t away from him for longer than a few hours at a time anyway.

have fun :)
Thanks girl! We had so much fun!

That last picture is just so endearing <3 Hope he stays that small forever :)
I knowwww, but somehow I think he might not stay that small forever…. Something tells me… haha ;)
