Nearly 1 month in the new place already...
Jun. 1st, 2010 01:53 pmI am in love with an expensive stroller and the worst part is, I can't even figure out how much I am really going to use a stroller. I do know that I definitely prefer the Graco car seat to the Chico simply because the sunshade is nicer! The Chico has this tiny dinky one and I don't see why they can't make a larger one. So the Graco is winning, but I am confused as to how you adjust the baby seat belt and I am realizing I don't care if it wakes the baby up, I'm not going to want to tug around the damn thing. Even if it just snaps into the base, it doesn't want to unsnap for me and it just feels awkward. I don't like carrying so much weight in one hand like that. The car seat alone is like over 9 pounds and that is sans baby!
But strollers... I love the UppaVista. It's so high up and cute and the only negatives I can think are I am worried about it fitting in my car and the fact it has really wide wheels. Now of course for walks outside or even malls it should be fine, its not like I actually live in NYC. I'm meh on the NYC mini jogger all my cousins adore. For one thing you definitely can't use it until the baby is 6 months old.
In other real life news, I saw my other two pregnant cousins yesterday and like my cousin who just got married they're both showing a lot more than me. One is due in July (the first of the 4 of us) but the other one is only 10 days ahead of me. I'm wondering if they are having boys or girls but they won't say. Both of them listen to their husbands more than I do.
We're still debating names. I've realized I have different tastes than most people I know in doing this.
I've been feeling meh on dolls. I think part of it, is I just feel so different from other owners sometimes. I want my dolls to look nice at NY Dolpa, but I'm even more concerned with what I am going to wear and how I will look. I want to look pretty. Perhaps I am just vain.
I've also been feeling meh as I start to wonder about NY Dolpa in 2011. I'll have an 8 month old. Can you really take your 8 month old to Dolpa? I really don't care if the rest of you would feel comfortable leaving behind your make believe or even possibly real child for 2 1/2 days at 8 months. *I* don't feel comfortable doing it and spending time with doll people in NYC just doesn't rate as highly to me. It's not that I won't want breaks, but there is a huge difference between 6 hours apart and 2 +days for me. It just makes me think a lot.
