Our one moment of peace: devouring snacks and discovering M&Ms at the United club<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nOnce we boarded, the real fiasco began. I think it goes without saying that when you are pregnant, your lap child has a particularly small amount of room in an already tight seating arrangement. Couple that with waiting on the tarmac, an overtired child that could not find a comfortable position to sleep in, and sun blaring in through the window, and we had a lot of crying, whining, standing\/sitting\/rolling\/kicking on my lap. I could not have been any happier when that flight was over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Except then they wanted to send all of the gate check luggage to the baggage claim! Instead I stood on the tarmac (while a bus full of passengers waited) and insisted on getting my stroller. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We’ve already done the “no stroller while waiting to get through immigration” shenanigan before, and I was not having it! It’s amazing how fast the situation can get fixed when you won’t get on the bus. Not my finest moment, but definitely worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Luckily, getting through the airport was mostly uneventful and the kiddo had a short nap on the very long drive back home through rush hour traffic. Lest you think it wasn’t worth it, I should reiterate that the trip was great overall<\/em>! We had a lot of fun, but I want to keep it real, it wasn’t all rainbows and unicorns.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHave you flown with a toddler while pregnant?
