one more week til i go to europe! i can't say that i'm excited but once i'm there i'll love it. i am definately a home body and the thought of travelling always makes me anxious in goods ways and bad. i am a horrible over-packer, and with taking sloane, it is bound to be so much worse. in past attempts to pack less, i have shorted myself necessary items such as pants and been forced to make a trip to the mall to buy a few pairs.
the thought of being jet-legged with a teething, 6-month old baby has me concerned, but if i think about it, i am able to function surprising well on little sleep. the 8 hour flight i am less concerned about, as i am very used to holding sloane for most of the day....the restrictions of the airplane shouldn't cause any problems, i hope. and of course, the first class seats make EVERYTHING easier. i can probably even change a diaper in my foot space if i'm discreet.
if there's one thing i am excited about, it's escaping winnipeg weather for 2 weeks! man is it cold here, and winter has not yet officially begun. i'll take a grey, rainy day in england over this anyday. i'm not sure what the weather is like in germany, but its gotta be better than this. sloane cries when i bundle her all up and take her outside, and i tell her that she was unfortunately born in winnipeg and she is going to have to learn to accept winter. not that i have anything against winnipeg, but it must be very confusing for babies to be exposed to these frigid temperatures. i am constantly loving and protecting her, then to thrust her outside on a chilly day must seem so cruel.
well, it took me til the age of 29 to make it to europe, and sloane is heading there at the age of 6 months! her first passport stamps...i hope she has a good time.
