My husband and I live about 8 hours from
our family...When our baby is born none of
them will be able to come see us because
of finances and, in my sister's case, no
one to watch her own three small children.
I know it may not be adviced to do so,
but I was wondering if it would be
completely crazy to make a road trip (8
hrs) with my newborn at about a week old??
(as long as my birth and the baby goes
all normal and everything that is)

You should be fine. Just make sure that
you pack all of the essentials. You will
have make more stops then if it were just
the two of you because of feedings,
burping, and diaper changes but the good
thing is that the baby will most likely be
sleeping the whole ride.

When I was born my dad was in the marines
and got out the day after I was born.
His base was in california. Anyways, the
very next morning after I was born, my
parents moved to ohio. That's was a 4
day trip, so I think you'll be fine.
