Morning Betty *distant juggles*
I took some garlic tablets for something a couple of years ago, it made me SO incredibly sick...I'll never do that again.
Juggles Freddy, sorry you are feeling sick.... MJ will most likely go to the Dr. Monday
jesserin said:That makes me feel so good to hear you say that - I do get a little nervous at some points thinking about all the things we will be limited on with her... but I'm just looking at all the amazing times we're going to have with her and hopefully she'll do pretty well while we are there! (to be honest, once we get past the 6 hour drive - touring the parks with an 8 month old should be a breeze!)
It'll be great with her! I will help you in the touring with a baby thing! We can also meet and do kidswap on the biog rides, Andrew and I rarely get to do them, so that would be a treat!

Nope, still sick... sore throat, cough, stuffy, headache, ugh...

Well, as to the stroller part... yes & no.... we have 2 strollers we're going to take - her deluxe stroller lays flat - but won't sit up at a 90 degree angle - which she needs still, she get really frustrated that she can't sit up for more than a few minutes (I'm hoping that changes over the next 6 weeks and she get's a little stronger) But the real downfall about this stroller is that she can't see me... so when people pop right in front of her with big grins and smiles - if she can't see me - she freaks... seriously, she screams, cries, covers her eyes and won't look at them... but if she can see me, and I'm smiling - then all is well... Well, frankly this could present a problem in WDW...
However, our other stroller is just a metal frame that her carseat attatches to - very light weight and easy to haul around, she faces me and she has no problem sleeping in that one... However... you can't buy rain covers or sun covers for this style of stroller as the canopy sits close to the childs head and there wouldn't be room to breathe... well, being that we're going to FL and rain is inevitable... we have to have a rain cover for the stroller...
so, we're still working on the stroller thing - not sure what we're going to do - I'm thinking that i'll just buy the regular rain cover for the deluxe stroller, use it on the smaller stroller and just take the baby out before covering it and carry her under an umbrella while it's raining - I've got a Hip Hammock now (which is a wonderful invention - I can sit with it - and move around easily - plus it keeps her weight on my hips and off my back - which is what works best for me)
Anyway - complicated answer - I'm working hard to get her used to her bigger stroller so that we don't have to worry about anything - but I have to say that i really enjoy her facing me, I know exactly what she's up to at the moment and she's much more at peace when she can see her mom & dad...
Hey Jess, we had a peg perego for MJ and the handle of the stroller flipped back and forth so that the baby could face you or face out... it was expensive, but a life saver!
Yeah - I've been looking for a less expensive version of that stroller - we could really use it - I'll have to keep looking - I really don't want to spend the money for a stroller that we will only use for a short time (I love our deluxe stroller, as soon as she can handle it that would be wonderful) But I might just have to buckle down and make the purchase before we go - It's worth the piece of mind... but I think DH would kill me if I dropped another $300 on a stroller... :lol:

I totally understand that. DD always had to face me in the stroller. Fortunately our stroller could face either way, or I'd probably never have got to the mall til she was in school!!!jesserin said:
DS was much easier in that department and could sleep anywhere (still can at 16).
When DD turned 2 she decided that me carrying her around was much more pleasant - my back still aches from that one!

Have you looked into renting one?jesserin said:Yeah - I've been looking for a less expensive version of that stroller - we could really use it - I'll have to keep looking - I really don't want to spend the money for a stroller that we will only use for a short time (I love our deluxe stroller, as soon as she can handle it that would be wonderful)
yeah, MJ had to face me for the longest time...right now with her wheelchair she still likes me right beside her so she can see me. Fortunately since I am in an ECV that is easy to do....
jesserin said:Yeah but I think DH would kill me if I dropped another $300 on a stroller...
They are expensive, but I couldn't have lived without mine it was a life saver...
Where'd everyone go?
Bye Betty, have a great day!
S'ok!They are expensive, that is for sure.
yeah, we never found another brand that had it. That was so frustrating, we did attachment parenting and one of the things we needed to do was have her facing us if she was in the stroller, I looked high and low. You'd think there would be more like that, it seems like a feature most moms would wnat....
