Technology!! Blessing In Disguise!

Last week we took Jayla to her one-year-old doctor's appointment. We were so excited to find out how much she weighed so we could turn her around in the car. We were planning a trip to Vernal and three hours in the car is a long time for a child to face backwards. However, Jayla only weighed sixteen pounds, six ounces. She only gained six ounces since her last appointment.
You can only imagine my shock and despair thinking what a terrible mom I was and that I wasn't feeding my child. Plus, she has to be twenty pounds to be in a bigger carseat and to face forward. That meant the three hours to Vernal were going to be like he** for all of us. Never fear however. My good friend, Melissa, (also Jordan's girlfriend), offered us her portable DVD player with a contraption to transfer the sound to our car. We were saved!! We stuck it in the back window, faced it towards her and no peep was made the whole ride. Thank Goodness! The best part was I could pull down my visor and watch the movie through my mirror. You have got to love technology and my daughter's love for anything on TV!!
