Schlepping

It's over several rivers, through the woods and down the interstate to Grandma's house we go, but I never realized how much stuff our wee one will make us lug:

a changing table pad, disinfectant wipes, diapers, wet wipes,
and a diaper champ (to deal with the diapers afterwards, you don't want to know!),
a pack-n-play, a bouncy seat/swing,
formula, gas drops, bottles, bottle brush, bottle drying rack

bathtub, towels, washcloths, body wash, shampoo, brush, lotion
toys, blankets, clothes, 2 diaper bags (!), monitors
stroller, car seat, lullaby cds, tummy-time mat, baby bjorn carrier
and probably a few other things that I've forgotten

For once I will not be the person who packs the most! Oh no, that honor will go to my daughter, who though she has not yet reached the advanced age of 6 months, has the power to take over our entire vehicle and necessitate our first car-top carrier.

It would just be easier to take her entire nursery with us; tear it off of the back of the house, put it on a trailer, and haul that sorry sucker everywhere we go for we are pretty darn close to that already.

The next thing you know, we will be moving into . . . minivan land!

Just so we can schlep more stuff.
