Now that we have Meg's passport I booked our flights home yesterday. I've booked 3 seats because baby's are not guaranteed a cot otherwise. So she'll have the window seat with a cot secured to it. I'm not going to have her on our laps for 11 hours. It's stupid for that length of time and not to mention dangerous. I've heard of lap babies on planes being called missiles by the cabin crew. All you need is bad turbulance.
I also upgraded our flight so we get more space. I'm fine with the leg room anyway but it makes a world of difference for Kev and it should be easier to see to Meg if we have a little more room.
There are however no facilities for storage of Meg's milk. I think some hostesses do it but they're not supposed to. So we'll have to take powdered milk and water for her. I hope I can get her back onto powdered milk by then as she's had a tough time with formula and powder is the worst.
Forgot to say, we're flying on the 12th Dec and will get home on the 13th which is a Wednesday. It seems like I'll still have to wait until Sunday to see my family though. My Mum doesn't want to meet her first granchild while being a guest in someone elses home. I see her point, I wouldn't be happy either. After all this time what's another few days I guess. It would be daft of her to sit in a car for that long at the moment anyway as she's injured her shoulder in 3 places. I certainly wouldn't want to have a seatbelt over it and she can't drive like it. So as far as I'm concerned I won't be home until the Sunday.
