Not a question...just a...can-anyone-sympathize-with-me post!
So today, for my birthday, DH met me (he's working on a project he promised to get done by the end of the year...bummer!) at PF Changs for lunch. I brought DD there, about an hour drive. She slept the whole way but woke up a little before we got there. Inside she started getting fussy, so we took her out of the car seat. She was okay for a little bit, but then started getting louder. We tried bouncing her, I even had a failed NIP attempt because she didn't want to eat. Then I had to get myself back together. I ended up taking her in the bathroom, where she even did the red face cry. I tried to feed her again...fail! I checked her diaper - clean as ever! I realized from the red eyelids she was tired and there was probably just too much for her to see for her to fall asleep. So I wrapped her in a swaddle sack and got her a little calmer. I took her back to the table and we quickly requested boxes! Then we hightailed it out of there! Ugh! Of course she fell asleep in the car, so I was able to make something of my 1 hr. drive by stopping at BRU and Target...but it was interesting. Her bday gift to me I guess!
Re: Our first high-tail-it-out-of-restaurant experience
We stick to really noisy restaurants - it acts like white noise and puts her to sleep almost immediately.
Now I did have a high tail it out of the restaurant experience with DS - he had been acting normal all day but as we were being seated, he started screaming for me. DH hands him to me and he proceeds to puke all over me, himself and the floor. DH wanted to still go ahead and eat!
