Aye, the strollers! Have you seen the new strollers?! Oh, excuse me....they are no longer referred to as strollers, rather infant transportation systems....ahem. Technological marvels and they are a bargain at the price of a little less than a Prius.
I tried to find an internet photo of the type of umbrella stroller in which I schlepped my infants. Couldn't find a photo that was realistically ugly enough. Picture folding, rickety bright yellow vinyl attached to four headstrong wheels each wanting to turn his own direction. Included was a plastic strap that had to be threaded through a metal loop around baby's waist while baby was impatiently screaming and flailing. The strap coming up between baby's leg to keep him from falling out was broken. Sunshade? Don't picture one, cuz I didn't have one. We didn't know sun was bad for babies back then. The noisy contraption was heavy, but it did fold in half and would kinda fit in the back of a Suburban.
From that....to my future grandson's infant transportation system!!

The pregnant Sprout proudly demonstrated all the features of this incredible stroller....forward, backwards, in, out, up, down, gadgets that attach and unattach with the press of a button.
It even comes with an optional port for your ipad2 and an electrical outlet for blending margaritas on the fly. Honest.
I confess...it's an engineering marvel. Amazing. But.....will this techie challenged, arthritic-handed granny be able to use it? Uh....we'll see. Maybe if it was equipped with an Icy-Hot dispenser. I'll write the company.
While in Dallas, I purchased a practical gift for the grandson.
One never knows when the grandson will need to trim the sails with his granny, Ms. Lustywhip. Best to be prepared.
Top-sider love to all.

ahhhhhh!!!!!! my pregnant belly hurts from laughing so hard!!! Oh my, you make me laugh, Ms Lustywhip.
As for the stroller- you'd better watch- you can hike Mt Everest with that thing, so you might need more than some Icy Hot relief. I remember being a passenger in those umbrella strollers. VIVIDLY remember ;).
I didn't know Audrey was pregnant!!! Wow! That's SO exciting!!!!
