[quote=Anonymous]OP here - thanks for all the advice and keep it coming.  A bit more info:

10:16 - the baby will be 11 mos at the time of the trip.  Yes, I am sleep deprived, and definitely hoping some of the sleep issues will resolve in the next month or two.  He had severe reflux and is just weaning from meds so we've been reluctant to sleep train.  If they do get better I would definitely go, but with the flights and such I dont think we can wait too long to figure this out (and be wishy washy with MIL).  Also, I think the baby will wake up with DS1's singing routine - not sure how to move one once they are asleep.  I dont think DS1 would sleep in a room with other kids - maybe with grandparents, but SIL usually gets to stick her youngest with them, so that would create the same problem.

10:20 - northern Minnesota.

10:21 - we do travel, but we go places where we get a condo or hotel suite for a week and settle them into their routine as quickly as possible.  For ex., we are going to Sea Colony (Bethany) in June (and BTW, invited MIL and she is coming); we went to Mexico with the inlaws when I was pregnant with #2 (again, a condo).  We avoid long weekends away like the plague.

10:24 - yes, I didn't realize we would all be in one room.  They have rented a second property to fit everyone, so I just assumed we'd be able to spread out a bit.  I have also heard several times about how the last time she did this (2 yrs ago) one cousin's wife asked to be moved from the cabin with the septic toilet, and MIL clearly thought that was outrageous, so I am wary of sounding like a princess.   But then again, the other families of 4 in one room have kids that are more like 8 and 10, which is a different animal.[/quote]
