Women with a stroller

I love pushing blueberry out in a stroller. Actually, I would much prefer to carry him in a sling but it's still cold outside and he is too young to be carried like that....

The true reason that I love pushing him out in a stroller is, I want to be out of the apartment. We have been out almost every day sometimes twice a day, rain or shine. We need to do it twice a day because his window of being out is short - feeding schedule is still every 2-3 hours. But hey, I don't mind getting in and out and repeat as long as I am out.

People were OK nice to me when I was pregnant and huge. And now, however, people are super nice to me when I push a stroller on the street. I mean, I am friendly looking in general and I'd like to smile at people when walking in the neighborhood, so I don't mind them being nice to me. It's nice to have strangers holding the doors for me, stopping the traffic so that I can cross the street safely (and ti was still green light), giving me the best seat in the restaurant, and not cutting in line in front of me.

No wonder women in this neighborhood feel very entitled when then push a stroller. They don't look you in the eyes and they look above your head (does it make sense?). Because they are spoilt by nice people.

Yes, a stroller is one of a woman's best accessories, other than a good-looking husband.

That's exactly why those ladies love pushing the BMW or Mercedez' grade strollers. I only learned these terms when one of the ladies from my mommygroup asked me which stroller I am getting and excitedly showed me hers and wanted me to test-drive it. The suspension and wheels did feel different.

Hm...I don't have a "real" stroller yet. Blueberry is still in the carseat and I push him around with the Graco thingy. But is it really worth it getting a the ultimate driving machine stroller? I have no idea.

Anyways...

It looks like blueberry likes to be outside, just like me. He always sleeps soundly in the careseat. Though I would very much want him to open his eyes and look at the outside world and people. Maybe he knows he is being outside with the surrounding noise, the sometimes nasty street smell, and the sound of traffic and car horns. I wonder if the real world is the same as he imagined, or, he simply just does not care. So far I know for sure he likes meeting new people, just like his mom!

Yeah I know, he's like me in a lot of ways. But you have no idea how much more he is like his daddy and it's almost scary...
