Today's Globe and Mail highlights the emergence of infertility blogs in Baby Desperate Moms Share Every Detail Online. Although I got over my mommy blog obsession a few months back, I read a few on a regular basis.
One that I just love is a humourous take on a humbling journey from infertility treatments to parenting twins. The author's recent post on her husband's pending parental leave reminded me of my lingering to-do list for a little project.
The project is one of those topics that inspires extreme reactions among young mothers. No one is lukewarm on the subject. I'm either nuts or an incredibly chill mom-to-be who understands the importance of baby-inclusive adventure.
Next summer, PapaBear and I plan to take BabyBear on a trip. Over a 3 week stretch, we'll stay in 4 different locations. There will be planes, boats, and automobiles. We will cross multiple time zones. We aren't appearing on the next season of Survivor, but we will test our ability to outwill, outsmart and outlast.
I think it's going to be a hoot, but I've never travelled with a 3-month old. I've never done any of this mom stuff, so I don't know enough to be intimidated yet. Given that I've already paid for a bunch of the trip, it would be great if you would just encourage me and snicker once I'm out of earshot.
And think of it this way, I'm not having twins. Could be worse. Or better.

I think it's an excellent idea. Any mum who's travelled with a baby will tell you that the best time to do so is before the six-month mark -- ie before little wanderers start crawling. :)
I'll second that! We took Tessie from LA to Boston to meet her paternal grandparents when she was 3.5 months old and it was just fine. She slept through the greater part of both flights (including our red-eye connection in Las Vegas on the way out). Travel is much, much trickier now that she realizes there's an alternative to being strapped into a car seat...
