[quote=Anonymous]It's our first Christmas with our baby and we decided to do what we always do: travel "home" to see our families. Only 1/2 day in and I regret this choice. :(

I thought I'd be homesick if we stayed in Virginia. I thought I'd be longing for family and "home". I was eager to show off our baby and thought being here would be fun. Now all I want is to be at OUR home. I wish we had gotten a tree and stayed to make our own traditions. I wish my baby wasn't scared to be sleeping in a new place. I wish we weren't living out of suitcases. I mean, the baby won't make it to the big Christmas Eve dinner anyway!

It isn't an option to return back to VA. We've got to stick it out for another week. I welcome ANY advice as to how to make this easier. Baby is 6 months old and very sensitive. He gets overwhelmed and overstimulated very easily, and that just doesn't mix with holiday visitors and bustle.

Just wanted to commiserate. I guess I'm getting older and the meaning of home has changed. I guess it's being a new mom...?[/quote]
