We're leaving on a jetplane.....

Our little man is going to have his first flight tomorrow! We are going to San Diego for my brother in law Kevin's Marine boot camp graduation! We haven't seen Kevin for three months and can't wait to see him and tell him how proud we are! For the graduation, Mason will be wearing camo pants along with this:
As excited as I am, I must admit I am a little nervous about our first big trip with a baby. My three biggest concerns?
1. What on earth do I do if Mason starts crying in his scream cry on the plane? Every option that works at home (his swing, his crib mobile, taking him outside) are not options! I already feel sorry for the poor people on our flight with us.
2. How will I change him if he has a blowout diaper? Mason tends to save these diapers for really special occasions like being in the car or out in public...I am almost certain this will happen on the plane! I avoid airplane restrooms like the plague and there is no way I am taking a baby in there!
3. This one sounds silly but it is a concern- We have to check Mason's carseat at the ticket counter. That means it is going under the plane with all of the other luggage. I see how they throw things in there and how dirty and beat up things look when they come out. I don't want Mason's new carseat that was supposed to last through our second child to look like an antique! Not to mention- Mason puts his mouth ALL over the shoulder straps which will now be covered in suitcase germs!

So, wish us luck as we venture out on our first trip as a family of three! I am sure it will go great and my concerns will not be a big deal at all once we are there and having fun!

P.S. I am throwing some completely random pictures that have nothing to do with our San Diego trip into this post. These are of Mason playing in his exersaucer yesterday. He looks so puzzled by everything!
