Little C

"Breath in... breath out" he told me. The bright pink tulip garden with an Asian stone bridge picture covering the lights didn't comfort me... while strapped down in a T form to the table. A big man to my left of me whom I just met, stared at my exposed body like a auto mechanic viewing a car. Seriously unhumanizing! My body in 4 minutes would be split open and quickly my child would be introduced to the world. Nervously I breathed in wishing that I could itch my belly as they rubbed it clean. It was painfully not being able to itch-- at that point not knowing that the general anesthesia they were injecting into my veins has that effect on me.

Then I woke up screaming at my Dr "stop that" apparently I had a nightmare. He was as shocked as I was, it was embarrassing! Thankfully I was not swinging or kicking. I fell into a twilight sleep not noticing what was happening, then asked where's my baby...is little C healthy?  At a whooping 8.3 lbs, yes she was healthy. Little C is beautiful and sweet...and holding her in my arms was worth that pain! The recovery with 2 kids is interesting not being able to pick up one due to Peanut's weight of around 40 lbs and having only one hand fully functional with 2 kids always is interesting. If you don't know I have Cerebral Palsy. With Peanut liking to body slam and does not yet understand gentle touching with little C its making me crazy, because in reality how many times can you say "no" before sounding insane.

So I'm still in the market for a double stroller that is easy to fold with one hand and can fit in a Toyota corolla. I like my car at this point I have no need or desire to upgrade to a less Eco-friendly car when mine. I've found only two models so far city mini double stroller and the new britax b-agile double. I have to test out how easy the new britax buckle is to undo first before I make a discussion.
