Would you go to a destination wedding with 2 kids (2nd would be only 2m old)?
A friend from grad school is getting married in Napa Valley 2 months after I give birth to our second child.
Would you take the whole family?
I loooooooooove Napa! Not sure how it would work logistically with DH and 2 kids.
DH thinks we should just send a gift and be done with it. He said we won't be able to enjoy it.

Personally, I wouldn't fly with a 2 month old unless absolutely necessary.

I'd have to agree but that's just me.

I would, but then again, I also took all of my girls out within the first week to the stores and would take them out whenever we went out.

In the winter I might not take a baby that small on a plane however they get their shots at 6 months so they will have some protection plus if you're breastfeeding they'll have even more immunities.
How old is your oldest? If dd/ds is under 3 I'd say no.
I don't like to pass up opportunities for family trips. We come up with all types of excuses to put it off and wait so when you have an excuse to go, take it.
You'll be fine and the baby will sleep. Only down side are the mid-night feedings but they are so easy at that stage... Usually ;)

The recycled air on the plane would be my biggest concern. Someone could be very sick many rows from you, but you're basically breathing in their germs. With a 2 month old, I wouldn't feel comfortable.

Honestly I probably wouldn't. I think 2 months old is sooo young and you'll probably be exhausted trying to take care of them.

DS is 22m now. He'll be 26m when it's time for the wedding.
Maybe it will be more trouble than it is worth. She is a pretty good friend and I'd like to attend her wedding. I know she'd be understanding.
I probably missed about 10 weddings in the past two yrs due to having a baby or being pregnant and suffering from morning sickness.
