still truckin'

Mare & I spent the evening (until midnight! bad mommy!) looking at stroller options online, so I didn't do photos. Do I get a new stroller immediately so it will be clean for my can't-get-germs Mare? Wait for the baby? Will Marian be strong enough to do her own walking? I hate big strollers (though we have a jogger & a bike trailer, that's different) with all their gets-so-sticky padding and big plastic parts. Ick. A "real" double stroller just doesn't seem palatable. One option are the "sit and stand" strollers that have a platform and little bench on the back for a toddler (or little 7-year old) to perch for a rest. But all of those are the biggie kinds, if not as biggie as the double. I like better the add-on stroller boards and this cutie little strolli rider, but am not sure how flexible their use will be and if I'll get mighty sick of taking it off & on. And still an "investment" i.e., $. I frankly just love me a little umbrella stroller, and admit I had the $9 variety until a friend took pity on my kid & gave me her old Maclaren. Really I just want to get a new Maclaren. Any not-quite-double experiences that you want to share?

I guess that our minds are on other things is a good sign that we're feeling a little less panicked about the medical situation. Which is good :).
