Things I learned on my first road trip with the baby:
- There is a nerve in your shoulder that, when pressed against the front seat while reaching into the back seat, will make your fingers tingle. And not in a good way.
- Two stressed out parents do not make a bad situation better. Surprisingly, neither does a Dairy Queen Blizzard.
- Babies pee A LOT when you really wouldn't expect them to.
- The person who swears that there is no need for anyone to sit in the back seat with the baby will end up sitting in the back seat with the baby.
- The blood eventually flows back into your finger after the frantic baby stops sucking it for comfort once he/she is finally asleep.
- Bored drivers will hum entire musicals to themselves when there's no one in the front seat to talk to.
- You can breastfeed a baby that is safely and securely fastened in their car seat. Not easily, not comfortably, but you can do it.
- Don't panic when the mechanic says that your alternator needs to be replaced. It could just be a loose connection.
