Hey Scoob and Jason,
I can't tell you how very excited I am for you and your little girl. I can't wait to meet her and FYI I'll be on the West Coast (LA) in Nov. so I look forward to meeting her then. As you know, as an only child I've been around children all my life! Actually, I have a new little boy myself but he's a furry black and tan toy spaniel named Monty and he is the alpha dog in the household. But, back to babies, my only experience with infants has been traveling with them on planes and Allison said you were looking for advice/wisdom for new parents so here's a little something I found online about traveling on planes with little ones. Maybe you'll find this useful when you travel to see the grandparents and cousins in Texas.
Are you and your little ones flying the friendly skies anyt time soon?
Keep them friendly by helping your children's eustachian tubes (which drain the middle ear) stay open as teh plane lifts off and lands. How? For babies, nursing or sucking on a pacifier or bottle during ascents and descents does the trick, and chewing a piece of gum (or rawhide in Monty's case) works for most children. This eases discomfort by equalizing pressure in the ears, explains pediatrician Christopher Ryder in his book Take Your Pediatrician with You.
All my love and best wishes for a wonderful final trimester and birth!
