O-hi-o

We made it to Ohio! The trip was easier then I expected (I had very low expectations- 8 hours of drive time with a baby which of course turned out to be about 10 hours of travel time). Ryan handled it a lot better then I thought he might. Even when he was awake he was for the most part in a good mood. He has started to discover his hands so he played with a little blue bee stuffed animal and this kept him occupied for a very long time.
We only had one tense moment where Ryan had a dirty diaper and was hungry. The issue was that we were in nowhere West Virginia and there was no where to pull over, literally there were no exits. Ryan couldn’t breathe he was screaming so loud, he was freaking out so I was freaking out and poor Don couldn’t do anything to help. Ryan slept for 9 ½ hours in a row the night we got in and has been in a good mood ever since.
It is interesting being in a new city with a baby. We don’t know where to eat, or how to get around and where it is safe to walk etc. I have moved around and traveled a lot in my life but it was nothing like it is with a baby. With Ryan we have a time limit for everything; he gets frustrated if things take us too long to do.
The class itself is actually really good. I went into law school thinking that I would like to go into adoption law and that is the entire focus of this course. The teacher is great and reminds me a lot of one of my friends in Chicago. We have these clickers that remind me of Americas Funniest Home Videos where the teacher polls the class and you have to pick A, B, C or D and then a chart pops up on the board with how the class voted… At least it is interesting. The best part of it is, at the end of next week I will be DONE WITH LAW SCHOOL. That’s right, no more classes! I will post more about the trip when we get back.
