Baby Jet Lag
Hello from Denver! This is Braylin’s first time in “The Mile High City” and it is going great except for her jet lag. I’m not
sure if jet lag is what you would call it, but it is faster than saying she is in a different time zone and completely off of her normal schedule.
During our long flight, my husband and I discussed whether we should keep her on her normal schedule (two hours ahead of Mountain Time) or just go with the flow. We decided that we should try our hardest to keep her on schedule for easier transitions from place to place. Once we landed in Denver, got our rental car and drove into the city, it was almost bedtime for Braylin in North Carolina and we hadn’t even had dinner yet. We quickly realized that staying on schedule was not going to work very well.
By the time we had dinner, visited with family and got back to our hotel, it was nine o’clock here (eleven at home) and Braylin was not even close to being tired. Mommy and Daddy, on the other hand, were exhausted. We tried to get her to go to sleep in her pack n play, but she kept crying and crying in a hotel is not an option in my book. So, we ended up bringing her in the bed with us where she slept for about an hour at a time until four a.m. when she was wide awake.
Needless to say, we were less than thrilled, but we had a big day ahead of us with Braylin’s first football game, so we had to suck it up and get ready for our day.
Check out my next post to see how the rest of the day went!
[...] you saw my last post, you know that Braylin got our day started at 4 a.m., so we got all of our tailgating gear together [...]
