I only forgot one thing....

We made it to Nashville and back all in one piece. Here is the run down of our weekend.

Thursday:

We leave as soon as I get off work (around 4:45) and head up 20 to Ansley. I work around exit 195. We made it to exit 190 before we had to stop! OOPS! Trenton decided that would be a great time to spit up. This made me a little anxious because I could not handle 6 hours of spit up, but he quickly proved me wrong and just fell asleep. However, I did manage to get a picture of precious at the gas station after I cleaned him all up.

I mean honestly, how can you get mad at this face?!? I have learned that if you travel with Wes you better potty when he does. He passed all the rest areas and made me wait..I was about to wear Trenton's diaper. NOT A HAPPY MOMENT! We arrive around 10ish and unload the car. Ansley comes out to help and I give the pregnant lady the rolling suitcase which she precedes to carry because she doesn't want to wake the neighbors. Cool. We feed Trenton and change Trenton which is when I realize the ONE thing I didn't pack extra of was wipes! I remembered all the food, bottles, formula, giraffe, frog, but no wipes! Easy fix, so for now it is off to bed!

Friday:

Trenton wakes up nice and early to let us know it is time to eat and we are going to get moving! It worked out well. I showered, Wes showered, Trenton ate and Ansley woke up. Then we were on our way to Pfunky Griddle. This was my request for breakfast because I have not been there and always wanted to go. You make your food in front of you (on a griddle). I had wheat pancakes with M&M's...yummy! Wes had regular pancakes with Strawberries and Ansley had french toast. I know ya'll were interested in that. Trenton LOVED this place. He was so good the entire time. He is getting to the age where he likes to "talk" so he would tell us all about his morning and just watch the griddle. I decided I would make Trenton a T pancake (like my Mom used to do) and it was pretty miserable, but wes decided to show me up. It just proved to me that he will be the one making the pancakes in the morning.

Clearly my pancake looks more like a tomahawk. OOPS! Wes is definitely showing me up on this one.

Some more pictures from the Pfunky Griddle.....

Trenton did enjoy playing with the cup my M&M's came in... The rest of the day was spent shopping and playing before Wes and I went out on our date to Cheesecake Factory while Ansley kept Trenton. We went early to avoid the wait and I didn't even eat cheesecake! I had a headache and was completely exhausted from the trip and the day, so it was not a great time. Also, Trenton got a ton of stuff, while I bought one shirt and Wes bought 2 pairs of khakis.

Saturday:

It was terrible weather in Nashville...tornadoes, actually. We met Ansley's friend Chris at Puffy Muffin and ate b'fast before setting out to Babies R Us to start their registries. Trenton and Wes bowed out before the registry fun. Not a lot of pictures from that adventure. We were going to have a play date with Ansley's friend Jenna, but the tornadoes did not make for safe travel to Brentwood, so we just hung out around the house before going to Target (where I bought the most amazing toy for Trenton to attach to his car seat - worth the $10!!!) and dinner at the Loveless! Please know the following pictures are from the entire trip. We didn't take Trenton out of his seat because it was not the easiet thing. Here are some family pictures....

When asked where we were, Trenton pointed to the part of the Kiddie Menu that said Loveless...he is a genius.

Sunday:

ADAM CAME!!! He rolled into town around 6:00 and came home to see Trenton. I took a picture, not the best, sorry Adam, but I was glad he got to see Trenton!

They were watching Blues Clues. Adam's favorite. That is one of Trenton's new toys! Precious! Soon, this will be Adam and his little girl! Not long after this, Wes and I hit the road. I understand it is 6 hours home and we lose an hour, but traveling with Trenton during the day is something we have never done, so we were not sure how long it would take. I have to say for the amount of time Trenton spent in his car seat, he was amazing. On the way home he would play with his amazing new $10 toy. We stop at a rest area because it has been over 4 hours since Trenton ate, but he is not interested, so we go back on the road, but not before I change his diaper in the car. I start changing him and he decides he needs to number 2. so, he does, but he also pees ALL over the car and himself! OOPS! Luckily by then we had bought wipes because it was a mess! Not 10 minutes later, he is CRYING, so we stop in Dalton. I figure there is a Carter's outlet, I can look, but no, it isn't open; however, we did get pictures of Trenton out of his seat!

Somebody feed this poor baby!

Daddy and Trenton playing at the outlets! Just giving Trenton some time to stretch!

Trenton and Mommy playing before hitting the road again!

Driving on down the road, we stop for lunch around Atlanta and Trenton is just tired of being in the car, being in his seat, and not having any one to play with, so the redneck Momma that I am I decide he should play at Arby's.

We leave here and make it home with a SCREAMING baby because he is hungry, so first thing we feed him! Here are some of Trenton's new favorite foods:

Carrots - LOVES, but very messy; green beans, squash, sweet potatoes, bananas, peaches (not the favorite, but will eat). The only things he doesn't really like are applesauce and apples. Today he is trying yogurt for the first time..yummy!

It was a great trip to Nashville and Ansley gave me the best Mother's Day present. She had her blog "published" and it is so amazing to have all of Trenton's first moments in print and for me to cherish always. Thanks, Ansley!

Her nursery is coming along and I will let her share all the pictures. I promise she was there, but most of the pictures are of Trenton! I enjoyed seeing her and loved traveling with Trenton. I actually thought it would be a lot worse than it was.

Thank you to Wes's parents for keeping Baxter and my neighbors for getting our mail, paper, and watching the house (which includes chasing cats), and to my parents for helping me remain sane on Sunday. Most of all, thanks to Adam and Ansley for letting us invade their house! Trenton is changing daily, so more pictures to come soon...you know, he will be 6 months on Sunday!
