Life in a hotel with a baby

We are still in Utah and not sure when we will be heading home, but we are hoping by Thursday or Friday. We are all doing well, but Rich and I are missing our bed. Ava can sleep in our arms, (borrowed) bassinet, or car seat with no problem. She is also eating well and enjoying her food much more than us. We are eating microwave food and sandwiches. We definitely can't wait to get home, but it is all worth it to be with our beautiful baby girl.Oh, did I mention it is FREEZING COLD here?...Check out the icicles...BURRRRR!!!We are washing the bottles in the sink and then sterilizing them with boiling water from the microwave...dishwashers are great inventions.This is just Ava's stuff. We have a suitcase and laptop bag of our own. It should be fun trying to carry all this stuff with a baby through the airport...can you say "Curbside baggage check".I forgot how much formula stains and how much babies spit-up. We have been soaking her clothes, burp rags, and bibs in oxy clean to remove the formula. Fortunately our hotel has a washer and dryer which we will be using later tonight.
