Rowan was awesome in the airport and on the plane. He nursed on takeoff and landing just like the pediatrician said (swallowing clears the ears so the pressure change isn't uncomfortable). He looked around and dozed the rest of the time. Thanks to several helpful strangers, I didn't have any trouble getting all the baby "stuff" through the airport or on and off the plane. Rowan has now met his Great-Grammies. I think we'll all take a nap! By far the most traumatized of the day has been the cat, who surely must have thought a tiger had moved in the first time Rowan let out a screechy wail. Perhaps the cath's tail will get un-fluffed sometime soon, but for now the he's still quite on guard!
