First flight!!

Taking Santi on his first flight is a HUGE deal for us. His cardiologists originally said he wouldn't be able to fly until after his third surgery. That date is still TBD. A few months ago we asked his cardiologist what he thought about Santi flying. His response was, "sure, why not!" Wait. What?! We sat on this idea for almost 6 months before we booked his first flight. To Las Vegas!

When the day came, we were nervous for his health. Would he maintain his blood oxygen saturation at 30,000ft? We were nervous to travel with a toddler. Would he have a tantrum on the plane? Would he scream for the duration of the flight?

Lucky for us, Santi did amazing. He loved flying. He loved Las Vegas. That city is made for toddlers. He was in awe of the lights and the larger than life decor in all the hotels.

Abe's family met us there, including our Nephew Ricky, who will be one in April. Santi is such a sweet big cousin. He loves his baby cousin.

Getaway!

Abe has had his getaways and I've had mine, but for the first time since Santi was born, we had two nights away, just the two of us. Coco and grandpa Rick stayed with him while Abe and I jetted off to VEGAS!

We stayed in a beautiful suite at the Cosmopolitan with an amazing view of the Bellagio fountain. We gambled. We enjoyed cocktails. We had two delicious dinners at Scarpetta and Tao. I even tried my hardest to sleep in...that is harder than it sounds. I'm up at 7am no matter what (so annoying!). We had a great time, it was long overdue! We are both looking forward to our next getaway!
