Any rants or raves about the older sibling(s) this week?
She's still doing really well in the Pre-K class at daycare, so that makes me really happy! I'm glad we haven't had any bites since she moved. She's been very motherly recently too, swaddling our poor dog and everything.
GTKY For my own benefit because I'm researching: Are you getting a double stroller? Which one are you considering?
I am strongly considering the Citi Mini GT Double, anyone have any input? It looks so wide but it says it's close to the single width. The nearest store where I can see one is about 120 miles away

-my sister took Conner to see the new Angry Birds movie tonight and he was so well behaved! I took him last summer to see Jurassic World at the drive in and that was a disaster lol!
GTKY For my own benefit because I'm researching: Are you getting a double stroller? Which one are you considering

How are you feeling/symptoms? So tired from vacation... Disney is now known as the energy thief!!
How many children do you have/ages? 2 boys ages 4 and 6
Team Blue/Pink/Green/Purple? Team Pink!!
Any rants or raves about the older sibling(s) this week? Vacation throws everyone off and my kids are no exception. They did pretty good throughout the trip to Disney but the return trip and yesterday were pretty brutal. I'm just going to assume everyone is over tired.
GTKY For my own benefit because I'm researching: Are you getting a double stroller? Which one are you considering? We won't need a double stroller this go round but we did go with the Britax B-Ready when DS 2 came 5 years ago. I really liked it!! I saw a lot of people with the BOB double stroller at Disney.
How are you feeling/symptoms? Pretty good. Hip pain at night is my only complaint currently.
How many children do you have/ages? 1 daughter, 20 months.
Team Blue/Pink/Green/Purple? Team Pink!
Any rants or raves about the older sibling(s) this week?
Rant is the tantrums of a one and a half year old. We've reached the point we get full on throwing herself on the ground. No pounding of the fists or kicking of the legs, but it's still ridiculous. Rave is her carrying keys around the house to all the doors to "unlock" them. It's adorable.
GTKY For my own benefit because I'm researching: Are you getting a double stroller? Which one are you considering?
We've already got our double stroller. We went with a Britax B-Agile Double. I wasn't sure I wanted a side by side, but after testing them out in the store, I thought they were actually easier to steer. We used the bucket seat with the stroller a lot with DD1, so I wanted the double stroller to be compatible with our carseat. We have a BOB(Britax) carseat. We went with the Britax double stroller over the BOB because it was about half the price. I haven't done more than push DD1 around the garage with it, but I like it. My only complaint is that the seats are smaller than in our single stroller. I'm worried how quickly DD1 will outgrow it.
How are you feeling/symptoms? No real symptoms, just ligaments/muscles of abdomen are getting pretty tired by the end of the day
How many children do you have/ages? 1 son who will be 18 months in June
Team Blue/Pink/Green/Purple? Blue!
Any rants or raves about the older sibling(s) this week? He was amazing the entire 3 day weekend. I drove him and I to Vermont and back on Saturday (3 hours each way).. he snoozed and rode contently, never an unhappy peep. We went to botanical gardens on Sunday and he ran around leading us on adventures. Yesterday we played outside and hung around the house... I was sad when bedtime came around for him (which very rarely happens)
GTKY For my own benefit because I'm researching: Are you getting a double stroller? Which one are you considering? We weren't going to get a double jogger but my husband got an amazing deal at work, so we got a double Thule (Urban Glide 2) for $100 (retails for about $600). I'm still looking to get a front/back (we use our stroller daily for walks with the dog, etc). I have a Graco classic connect car seat that I want to make sure will work with a double.. maybe a Baby Trend Sit N Stand double (would love to stay under $200). We don't need it to be the smoothest ride, we'll get that out of the Thule jogger.
For Christmas we might also be looking into a Thule chariot for bike riding.. I should clarify that my current son has 2 strollers, a wagon, and a push trike. I really like having options for pushing him around

Any rants or raves about the older sibling(s) this week?
Probably ranted about this before but I swear she will be going to college in diapers. I've been trying to follow her lead and not force it but I'm over it. Use the freaking potty already.

How are you feeling/symptoms?
Sciatic nerve pain and an itchy belly do not equal a happy mama.

2 6-year-olds

Any rants or raves about the older sibling(s) this week?
My babies are graduating Kindergarten on Thursday!! They're not babies anymore.
GTKY For my own benefit because I'm researching: Are you getting a double stroller? Which one are you considering?
We have a Graco DuoGlider from when DS/DD were babies that we're using again. I love it. The infant seats were made to go with it (we're using the same type this time, just new ones obviously) and grows with them well. Plus it's a smooth ride.
How far along are you?
26w5d
How are you feeling/symptoms?
Still waiting for that burst of energy to come! And currently on my 4th or 5th yeast infection. Ugh.
How many children do you have/ages?
2 boys, 3.5 and 2.
Team Blue/Pink/Green/Purple?
Team pink!
Any rants or raves about the older sibling(s) this week?
Room sharing is going really well and they actually slept in this weekend.
GTKY For my own benefit because I'm researching: Are you getting a double stroller? Which one are you considering?
My first 2 are 18mo apart and I usually just wore one of them and one in a single stroller. We got a double BOB for free and we do use it often for going on walks. We also have a single BOB that works pretty well for 2 if we aren't going fast. One just sits on the front by the foot area.
How are you feeling/symptoms?: Good, still trying to walk every day. But my back hurts a lot, my hips too.
How many children do you have/ages?: 1 daughter, age 6 1/2.
Team Blue/Pink/Green/Purple?: Expecting a boy this time around!
Any rants or raves about the older sibling(s) this week?: Our daughter got some big sis practice on Sunday. We watched my best friend's 2 1/2 year old and told our daughter she was expected to be kind, share, and helpful. We let her know she was babysitting, too, and if she did a good job we would pay her for it. She did beautifully, though she wasn't real into playing with said 2 1/2 year old. She shared her tablet and was very helpful! FTR, she is not excited to be a big sister.
GTKY For my own benefit because I'm researching: Are you getting a double stroller? Which one are you considering: No. My daughter is too big for a stroller. We honestly probably won't get a stroller at all this time around. They're big & cumbersome, and I plan on wearing Jude if we go out.
FORMER USERNAME: @runningisrad
If if I was having twins I would totally consider this stroller, but for an older and a younger kid I want something more versitile that will grow with my son when he doesn't want to sit in a stroller all the time. I like the idea of a sit n stand with two seats so I can change the configuration as the kids grow.
