Last weekend we went on our first family road trip to visit Grandma and Grandpa Martinez in Lubbock. We prepped ourselves by researching online first, since Gabi hates her car seat:( Rachel found a 'snuzzler' which conforms to the baby's body and makes her more comfortable. We also had to listen to a variety of baby bedtime music over and over again, but it worked. Gabi got her feet wet in the pool for the first time with Daddy, and we're waiting for Grandma to send us the great pictures she took so we can post them. We had a great time and look forward to our next visit in October, when we'll take Gabi to her first Texas Tech football game.
Rachel goes back to work on Thursday. Grandma Palomino will be watching Gabi. We're praying that it will be a smooth transition for us all. It has been so tough for us to leave her, but it gives us so much comfort knowing that she is with her grandma while we're at work. Our best wishes go out to Hollie and Shaun as they prepare for their little miracle. We can't wait to see Madi.
Tommorrow is Grandma Martinez's birthday, and we all want to say Happy Birthday and we love you:)
Last year, Rachel and I saw a really cool wooden giraffe at a store called Jackalope in Santa Fe. At the time, we did not know if we were having a girl or a boy, so we did not buy it. I was in Santa Fe yesterday for a meeting, and it turns out that the giraffe was still there, so I brought it home for the baby. Gabi loves it already. It stands 6'-6" and watches over her while she sleeps:)
