Mazel Tov!
Baby wearing FTW. I had T in a Baby Bjorn for her first trip to NYCC. Two years ago we brought the double stroller. People are fucking assholes. They'd either cut me off, or get pissed off when I'd ask them to move so I could get through. Now we don't bring them. When D is a little older, we'll start bringing them again. khoos an I have already had discussions about kiddie cosplay.
Important things to know:
1) where all the 24 hours connivence stores are. 3am snack runs can be the difference between peace and misery.
2) If you're torn between two flavors of ice cream, get both. If you come home with one, the other one is what she really wanted.
3) Start your sleep deprivation training now.
4) After a while you'll just stop caring what that is on your shirt/pants. Just don't lick it off.
5) Read the books. Women get really pissy about you not reading them.
6) Go rent a storage space for your collectables. No matter where you hide them in the house, they will be found.
7) Your new mantra: "This is why we can't have nice things".
Okay, maybe I can.
I also did a third just because I was unaware that there are rarely false positive tests, lol... I am a dork.
We go to see the doctor on Tuesday. But my rough estimate is late November early December there will be a mini in our presence.
Somehow I expect pork isn't totally healthy for a growing baby since it's sort of difficult for some adults to ingest as it is. HOWEVER that doesn't mean it's not possible.
