Girls!

How's everything? Summer is leaving us and we are missing it already. This Saturday we are going to a bbq,the last one of the season , this year we didn't go to the beach at all because nobody could babysit for us, I wish my family was here so they will be more than happy to do that for us, same thing with the movies, no movies at all, you have to see hubby, he loves to go to the movies but since Sofia was bonn no movies for us =(.

missing him@ Welcome to this awesome forum and good luck with your little one.

Chrissy@ Yay for Molly eating her first cereal! we haven't tried rice cereal, Sofia eats just Barley, congrats for the long night! Last night was the 3rd night that Sofia slept from 10.30pm until 6.30am then she plays until 8am and goes back to sleep for two more hours (and mami and daddy do the same thing). No more long naps during the day

Chnst@ OMG, I won't know how to react if Sofia does that, I guess I'll just tell her that we are leaving the store and give her the "look" , but who knows how am I going to react. I believe in "time out" big time.

Caro@It's coming soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how far is the birth center? everything is ready? are you having people coming over from Argentina?

Jenn@ Next one!

Congrats Missing*him

Stef, Evi and Kel - I can totally relate ... the terrible two's really do start at 15 months! Declan threw his first fit in public on Monday. Part of it, I think, was that it was his first day at a new daycare. He actually liked it a lot and didn't want to leave the play area when I picked him up. It was his dad's first night of classes and normally dad picks up at daycare, so that was different too. I needed to get groceries, so I ran to the store. At first, we was fine sitting in the cart and he ate about 1/4 pound of cheese I got from the deli! But when the cheese ran out, we got fussy, so I let him get down and help me push the cart. It was when we got into the checkout line and I put him back into the cart, that he acted out. Crying, screaming and trying to hit me. The worst thing was that his pediatrician was in line right in front of me ... talk about embarassing!!! I just stayed calm and ignored the tantrum and moved out of his reach. Then, I had to bring him back to the doctor's yesterday for a final follow up from his "pee pee" surgery in December (everything has healed fine). The children's floor has wonderful toys for kids and he didn't want to leave, so I had to carry a crying and squirming boy out, with all the other parents there looking at me sympathetically.

Question for those who live in/near NYC:

We are heading to CT for the weekend to visit my family and then, on Sunday, we are going to take the train into the city to visit my college best friend who lives in Manhattan. Hubby and I are bringing Declan with us. We'll have his stroller, but not a carseat. We plan on taking the subway and then walking to her place. Is there anything special I should know about traveling into the city with a baby?

LOL, the Look, I will try that next time!!

I am glad I am not the only one dealing with tantrums, it is really embarrassing....

@autum: NYC is easiest if you have an umbrella stroller to tackle the escalators/stairs/narrow subway. If you have a light stroller that folds easily that's best. But it shouldn't be a problem at all since you're bringing your strong husband.

I have taken a scary cabride with Ben on my lap once, shame shame, but it was dark and a shady area. cab drivers don't have carseats and they really don't care either. If you can avoid taking a cab, then go ahead, I don't recommend them they are the worst/aggressive drivers. Other than that NYC is very kid-friendly, lots of parks and sidewalks. Ben and I love to hang out in central park, and union square. Have fun and be safe!!

@missing-him: welcome!

@Evi: wow, I can't believe this guy hit the kid, that's terrible. The other story is kind of funny. I would be pissed if I was the mother, but that this lady actually took the kids drink is hilarious!

Autumn@ Definitely an umbrella stroller or light stroller, some subway stations have an elevator,good luck with that. Bring your own water, they will overcharge you in the city.

I'm starting to feel sleepy all the time again. Reminds me of how I felt during my first trimester. Figures...they'll probably let me off bed rest at my 34 week appt on Tuesday and I'll go back to work. Couldn't I have been sleepy during all my home bed rest time?

[Nessa 23]

i'll have to go back at 1300, cuz walk ins were over.

ben is fine. the cough is deep but his chest is clear. its all in his throat, just a cold. the doctor prescribed something and gave me a note for him to stay home today

[JVKn'CVO 11]

@missing him: Congrats and Welcome!

@Vi: We're so ready! I literally ran out of things to buy for the baby

Birthing center is 45 min away, and we will do most of the laboring at home. I'm not having anyone come from Argentina - hopefully we'll be able to visit with Sebas when he can travel

@Nessa: glad to hear Ben is ok

Saludos,

Caro
