Had to take a business trip. My first since Emerson joined us. Still nursing him, and was dreading having to pump around the clock for three days. So I had a brainstorm and decided to bring him along! Elina was happy to come along and see another American city, so we all flew to Boston.

We added an extra day to the trip so I could see family -- we drove in to see my Grandma Katie and my cousin Erin and her two boys. Was so great to have that time with them. And my Aunt Peggy took good care of me, ensuring I knew where to go and coordinating a dinner downtown with Jonathan, Uncle Jim, Jesse and Kurt! We ended up having a bit of a dramatic dinner, unfortunately -- Emerson was steadily getting droopier (and his temp was rising) and I had directional-disorder and was so super late for dinner. It ended up a bit rushed, and Uncle Jim ran out on foot hunting for medicine for poor Emerson (he was burning up by then....). Love my family - they were nothing but patient with me. And Elina was a trooper - she just went with the flow. I was nervous about the trip home - but Emerson rallied and did okay. Took him a week to recover from his awful virus, but he's back to his happy self now.
