We had to do that too. Same with friends. Just explain that the doctors suggest (in all the baby books) that you should be completely ready before the 3rd trimester in case anything happens or you're too exhausted, so that's your plan. They'll understand.<BR/><BR/>Traveling with a 5 weeker is going to be tough, girly! I'd start with a small day trip to see if a 24 hour treck is realistic.Sandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14500492451285462889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7284969.post-48281482945297823792008-09-09T21:20:00.000-05:002008-09-09T21:20:00.000-05:00Wow.

That stressed me out just reading that.<BR/><BR/>I totally can picture the image of you wrapping your Navy Bean in a sheet and sticking her in a box until people buy you things. As if!<BR/><BR/>I say buy what you need and if people go "oh, but we were going to buy you that!" say, "well, I'm not a psychic, so you'll just have to buy me something else!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
