Recently we took a plane ride - Helen's first since being pregnant. There was some uncertainty on my part, since I had no idea what kind of effect flying would have on her or Norbit.
She ended up doing pretty well and as far as I can tell, Norbit was comfortable flying, too. Nothing really out of the ordinary. So proud of them both!
I know that a few months from now Helen won't be in a 'no fly zone' until the baby comes, so I wonder if we're going to try and travel as much as we can before that happens or stay home a lot more.
We have talked about continuing to travel even after Norbit arrives, since we want to expose him or her to new experiences. To that, some of our parent friends laugh and say, "We used to think the same thing, then reality set in." Lots of stories of crying, barfing and other kiddie misadventures in the air. However we noticed many young children who were well behaved during our flights, so I have to believe that some babies travel well, and have high hopes (get it? airplane pun) that our kid will be one of them.
