Weasel Of Doom

Found out that SAS *may* not allow gate-check of strollers (*may* because a post on a discussion board and SAS’s own website seem to imply that, yet when I called customer service I was told it depends on the airport and I will *probably* be allowed to gate-check mine). After freaking out for a bit, we now have an alternative plan:

- if I am told at check-in that my stroller has to go into checked luggage, I am going to use the blue carseat/stroller combo and Baby Bjorn. Because the main thing is to make sure D. does not take off for parts unknown while we are stuck in the security check-in/waiting for boarding limbo, and thank God he still fits in the carseat/stroller.

- if I am allowed to gate-check the stroller, we will proceed with the regular carseat.

- in any case, B. is going to end up hauling a carseat home.

And so I am now officially freaking out about the whole trip. What was I thinking, traveling alone with a whiny 9-month-old and an uncontrollable 2.5-year-old. I need my head examined.

- in the interests of science, we bought Benadryl and will give it to the kids on Wednesday night as a test. Best-case scenario: both get sleepy. Worst-case scenario: both get hyper. Can-live-with scenario: at least one gets sleepy. If all fails, maybe I can offer free Benadryl to fellow passengers.

Oh, and we have a bird somewhere in our house. Stupid bird. B. will probably blog about it later.

3 am. I am so screwed.
