Eddie is a rather nervous flyer anyway and everyone has been telling him how hard it is to fly with someone Cal's age (I am trying to do the opposite and tell him how great they are BOTH going to be!) and he woke up sick to his stomach this morning so that added to my nerves. I had Cal fully packed and their carry on bag stocked with everything they could need in the air: books, snacks, drugs, sippy cups, tissues (he has a mean runny nose right now), more snacks, diapers, a TON of wipes, pacis, etc, etc!
We got to the airport and I ended up parking and walking in with the boys. While Eddie checked in, I took a little extra time kissing on Cal and that's when the water works started for me! Cal wrapped his little arms around my neck and squeezed. I melted. I stayed staring at them as they walked through security (did I mention I was in sweatpants and a sweatshirt? Speaking of What Not To Wear......), with tears streaming down my face. Every time I would take a deep breath and pull myself together, Cal would turn back around and wave at me. Again, I melted.
I know they are going to have the best time and Eddie's parents are beyond excited to have them out there. I am thankful that they are so loving and sweet to my family (can you imagine if they didn't want to see him???). We are ALL going to have a great time on our trips, but MY GOD, I am missing my boys right now.
Yes, I am a cry baby. And yes, I am tearing up as I write this. ME=cheesy!
So, I left the airport, grabbed breakfast, went to the gas station, went to the car wash-- MUCH easier to do without a baby!-- and then took my time at the grocery store! I am going to have lunch with my mom, clean out my refrigerator, get a mani/pedi (maybe) and get ready for New York! Oh, and I am going to start digging out my maternity clothes too....I am not fully showing, but jeans are not comfy on my belly any more!
have a GREAT weekend! (and shoot me an email...I am lonely!)
